Key highlights
- Jeep India introduces the new Meridian Track Edition with a stronger focus on comfort and styling
- Sliding second-row seats and cabin tweaks aim to improve daily usability for Indian buyers
- Cosmetic enhancements build on the Meridian’s premium positioning without changing the core powertrain
Jeep has pulled the wraps off the new Meridian Track Edition. The brand is clearly listening to customer feedback. While the Meridian already had solid road manners and that classic Jeep stance, many buyers wanted better rear-seat flexibility. This special edition tries to fix that without reinventing the SUV.
What’s new?
The Track Edition brings sliding second-row seats into focus. Passengers can now adjust legroom more effectively, making the cabin feel less rigid on long drives. For families and chauffeur-driven owners, this change makes a real difference. It is one of those simple updates that improve daily life rather than just adding a new badge. Recent updates to the Meridian line-up also highlight this push toward rear-seat comfort and flexibility.
On the outside, the Track Edition adds subtle visual touches. Expect darkened trim bits, edition-specific graphics, and a sportier overall vibe. Jeep has used this formula before with special editions, and it works because it keeps things tasteful.
Cabin tweaks
Step inside and you will notice the changes are more about ambience than tech overload. The new upholstery theme, contrast accents and special detailing differentiate the Track Edition from regular trims. The idea is clear: give buyers something that feels fresh without pushing prices into another segment.
What remains
Jeep has retained the Meridian’s known strengths. The SUV still offers a commanding driving position, solid build feel, and the kind of cabin that feels designed for long highway stretches. The sliding seat layout also helps with third-row access, which has been a talking point since launch.
Under the hood, things remain familiar. The Meridian Track Edition continues with the proven 2.0-litre diesel engine paired with manual or automatic options, depending on variant. Power delivery stays strong, especially in highway conditions where the Meridian has always felt most at home.
Competition has grown tougher with full-size SUVs and premium crossovers throwing new features at buyers every quarter. Rather than entering a feature arms race, Jeep seems to be betting on comfort and a strong identity. That might not sound flashy, but it is a smart play.
