Jeep India has officially expanded its flagship SUV lineup with the launch of the Jeep Meridian Track Edition. Priced at Rs. 35.95 lakh (ex-showroom), this new iteration is based on the top-tier Overland variant and brings a suite of aesthetic upgrades and functional enhancements to the seven-seater SUV.
The Track Edition is designed for buyers seeking a more rugged yet premium look, offering both 4×2 and 4×4 configurations.
Aesthetic Upgrades: Stealthy and Sophisticated
The Meridian Track Edition distinguishes itself from the standard model with several exclusive cosmetic touches:
- Piano Black Accents: The front grille, exterior badges, and body mouldings are finished in high-gloss Piano Black.
- Exclusive Grille: A “Dark Espresso” grille with Neutral Grey highlights gives the SUV a unique face.
- Hood Decals & Insignia: It features a signature Track Edition hood decal and special Track Edition insignia to mark its identity.
- Wheels: The SUV rides on stylish 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, enhancing its stance.
Interior & Comfort: New Sliding Row and Premium Theme
Jeep has focused on improving cabin flexibility and luxury for this edition:
- Sliding Second Row: The biggest functional update is the introduction of a 140mm sliding second row, allowing passengers to adjust legroom or cargo space according to their needs.
- Tupelo Theme: The cabin is draped in a sophisticated dual-tone Tupelo theme with premium suede inserts on the seats and door pads.
- Leather-Wrapped Steering: The steering wheel is finished in high-quality Cortina leather with detailed contrast stitching, providing a better tactile feel.
Performance: Proven Diesel Power
Under the hood, the Jeep Meridian Track Edition remains mechanically identical to the standard model:
- Engine: 2.0-litre Multijet diesel engine.
- Power & Torque: 170 bhp and 350 Nm of torque.
- Transmission: 9-speed automatic gearbox.
- Drivetrain Options: Available with either a Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) or Jeep’s legendary 4×4 system for off-road enthusiasts.
Pricing and Variants
The Jeep Meridian Track Edition is available in two variants:
| Track Edition AT (4×2) | Rs. 35.95 Lakh |

With its combination of a sliding second row for added practicality and a dark-themed exterior for a stealthier look, the Track Edition aims to attract SUV buyers who want a premium experience without compromising on Jeep’s off-road DNA. It continues to rival the like of the Toyota Fortuner and MG Gloster.
