The Jeep Meridian is expanding its horizons with the introduction of two exciting entry-level trims: Longitude and Longitude O. These variants cater to those seeking a budget-friendly adventure companion, offering a versatile 5-seater layout with a 6-speed manual gearbox only with a front wheel drive set-up. Other higher trims will continue with the same 7-seater configuration. But the enhancements don't stop there. The updated Meridian boasts a symphony of interior color themes to match the trim levels. Lower trims exude a sophisticated grey ambiance, while the Limited O elevates the experience with a beige color theme.
