Jeep Meridian Limited Variant Discontinued in India, Range Now Starts at Rs 32.95 Lakh

Jeep India has revised the variant line-up of the Meridian SUV in the country. The brand has silently pulled the plug on the Limited variant of the model, which was available with both manual and automatic transmission options. So, buyers looking to buy the Meridian are now left with 4 choices – Limited (O), Limited Plus, Meridian Upland, and Meridian X. The Meridian made its market entry in India in May 2022 at an introductory price of Rs 29.90 lakh. At that time, the Jeep Meridian offered two trims and five variants – Limited MT 4x2, Limited AT 4x2, Limited (O) MT 4x2, Limited (O) AT 4x2, and Limited (O) AT 4x4. The last known price of the Limited MT 4x2 was Rs 30.10 lakh, while the Limited AT 4x2 carried a price tag of Rs 32 lakh. However, with the discontinuation of the Limited MT and the Limited AT, the Meridian range now starts at Rs 32.95 lakh. All the above-mentioned prices are ex-showroom.
