”The Jeep Meridian is the third new model manufactured in India since 2021 as part of Jeep’s product offensive. A demonstration of the company’s commitment to the domestic market, the Jeep Meridian will feature up to 82 percent localization and has been specially designed, engineered, and tuned for Indian road conditions keeping in mind the refinement expected by customers in the segment,” Stellantis India CEO and Managing Director Roland Bouchara said.
The duality of sophistication and capability represented by the all-new Jeep Meridian has the potential to disrupt the premium SUV segment, he added.
The Jeep Meridian is expected to play in the premium SUV segment which is currently dominated by Toyota Fortuner.

The Meridian has been subjected to rigorous testing of over 10 lakh km to ensure its durability and consistent performance, Head of Jeep Brand India Nipun J Mahajan said.
”The Jeep Meridian is an ideal mix of adventure and sophistication that will be evidenced via many segment-first features and its refined abilities both on and off-road,” he added.
