I would fire the guy who would interchange dimensions of height and width In a media presentation. Absolutely sloppy!

Re: India-bound Jeep 7-seater SUV, named Meridian

Media briefing confirms same power and torque output as the Compass, RPM at which it comes in may vary:

Re: India-bound Jeep 7-seater SUV, named Meridian

It's a really handsome SUV - there is one that comes in my society and i could closely see it over the weekend.
The rear seat space does look usable but looks like you will have to sit with knees bent so won't work for adults over long distances. The fit and finish is too notch!

No point posting too many pics since better ones are available now.

Re: India-bound Jeep 7-seater SUV, named Meridian

One of the best looking stock alloys.

Disappointed with the power and torque figures being same as Compass.

Can’t wait for the test drive reports

Re: India-bound Jeep 7-seater SUV, named Meridian

Looks a bit long to my liking. But the interiors look great. Fortuner's interiors look a couple of segments below compared to this. Even with 30 bhp less, I think this will take away numbers from Fortuner. Fortuner's 0-100 times are still better, but Jeep will obviously have better ride and handling.

Re: India-bound Jeep 7-seater SUV, named Meridian

What's with width of 1698mm? An error or Jeep has calculated differently? No way this car can be narrower than Swift.

Its a mistake, that is height. Dimensions are 4,769mm long, 1,859mm wide and 1,682mm tall,

Looks more MPV-ish than SUV-ish, especially the rear. Interiors look good, though. Engine specs are a bummer - will be a narrower torque band for sure, compared to the Compass - this is Endeavour 2.0 redux.

Width and height figures have been interchanged in the presentation

While I don't like the Allow design, the car looks great in these pictures. Will be for sure a looker on road too and that itself should be a good pulling factor for footfalls in the showroom. Rest will be on marketing, sales and service team's efforts to make it a success.

Re: India-bound Jeep 7-seater SUV, named Meridian

Looks like Jeep decided to use Alcazar's formula, 3rd row seems compromised despite change is length when compared with the standard compass.

Rest of it looks great, interior looks great (finally no light color on an SUV). Might be successful if the price difference is close to 2L between this and the compass.
