Jeep is ready to launch the 7-seat Meridian SUV in the Indian market, after unveiling on March 29 this year. The pre-bookings have officially started. Deliveries of the Meridian will begin in the month of June. The company has commenced the production of this SUV at its Ranjangaon facility near Pune in Maharashtra. Let’s take a look at its specifications.
Jeep Meridian Exterior
Looking at the exterior design, the silhouette is very much similar to the compass but with a slightly more upright stance. The SUV gets LED headlamps with integrated DRLs similar to Compass, a seven-slot grille, a muscular front bumper with a large air intake, LED fog lamps, side cladding with indicators and newly designed alloy wheels. Many believe it looks similar to the Brazilian market Jeep Commander.
