Jeep India plans to launch three new SUVs in India this year. These include the Compass Trailhawk, Meridian 3-row SUV and the Grand Cherokee.

Jeep Compass Trailhawk

The upcoming Compass Trailhawk will receive the same updates as the facelift version that was launched in 2021.

The Compass Trailhawk will be offered with the same 2.0-litre diesel engine. It produces 170 BHP @ 3,750 rpm and 350 Nm @ 1,750-2,500 rpm. The engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and a 4-wheel drive system.

The Trailhawk's off-road kit includes a factory lift suspension, Selec-Terrain with Rock Mode, Dynamic Steering Torque (DST) and Hill Descent Control.

Jeep Meridian

The Meridian is a new 3-row SUV that shares its underpinnings with the Compass. It will be manufactured at Jeep's Ranjangaon plant from May onwards.

The Meridian is expected to be powered by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder diesel engine with a 48 V mild-hybrid system. The engine is likely to be paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.

Jeep Grand Cherokee

Jeep will also launch the Grand Cherokee this year. The premium SUV will be offered with a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and the Quadra-Trac 4x4 system and Selec-Terrain traction management system.
