The Jeep Meridian is based on the same platform as the Compass, but it is much bigger in dimensions

The new Jeep Meridian is based on the same platform as the Compass and thus shares some of its visual traits as well, like the 7-slot grille and the squarish wheel arches. However, the SUV is much bigger in dimensions, with a new rear section, and sleeker LED headlights and taillights. In fact, Jeep will also offer dual-tone colour options with the SUV, and it will get a new set of alloy wheels as seen in the spy photos.

Other features include - wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 360-degree camera, panoramic sunroof, multi-zone climate control, power-lift tailgate with a programable opening height and a 9-speaker Alpine sound system.

The Meridian will get the same 2.0-litre diesel engine that powers the Compass

Under the hood, the Meridian will get the same 2.0-litre diesel engine that powers the Compass. In fact, the power output will also remain the same at 168 bhp and 350 Nm of peak torque. The motor will come mated to a 6-speed manual or a 9-speed automatic - the latter will get the option of all-wheel-drive (AWD). As with the Compass, the AWD system will come with terrain modes - Sand/Mud, Snow and Auto - selectable by a toggle switch alongside the gear lever. There is no petrol unit yet on offer with the SUV.
