Jeep India has introduced a special edition of the Jeep Meridian, called the X, priced at Rs 34.27 lakh, ex-showroom. This iteration hosts a variety of cosmetic and feature additions so that this SUV can offer a premium ownership and driving experience.
Expressing his thoughts regarding this launch, Kumar Priyesh, Brand Director, Jeep India, stated, “With an array of accessories, we have amped the Meridian's dual characteristics, catering to the adventurous spirit and refined tastes of our diverse clientele. Whether navigating challenging trails or cruising cityscapes, this edition promises to captivate enthusiasts seeking sophistication, performance, and unmatched capability. This launch not only elevates the design ethos for Jeep aficionados but also extends a broader spectrum of expression, empowering drivers to truly embody their unique identities on the road.”
For your reference, the company introduced the same edition last year in April 2023, alongside the Upland Edition, but it was later discontinued. But, the comeback of the X edition is to meet the growing demand of SUV buyers who want a feel of both urban and off-road experience.
