Jeep India has introduced a special 85th Anniversary Edition of the Meridian SUV to celebrate 85 years of the Jeep brand.
The limited-edition model comes with exclusive design updates, additional features, and premium touches.
Priced at Rs 36.05 lakh (ex-showroom), the special edition is based on the top-spec Meridian Overland trim.
However, Jeep will sell only 85 units of this exclusive SUV, making it a rare offering for buyers.
Bookings have already started through Jeep dealerships and the company’s official website.
What’s Special About the 85th Anniversary Edition?
The anniversary edition gets several exterior upgrades that make it different from the standard Meridian.
Key design changes include:
Special 85th Anniversary Edition decals on the front doors and tailgate.
A unique anniversary logo on the wheel centre caps.
Gloss-black finished wheels for a sportier look.
Five colour options:
Pearl White
Techno Metallic Green
Velvet Red
Grigio Magnesio
Brilliant Black
Inside the cabin, Jeep has added premium touches to enhance the overall experience.
The SUV gets a new gold accent on the dashboard along with an ambient lighting package.
Buyers can also choose specially designed 85th Anniversary AXS packages, which include carpet floor mats, anniversary decals, additional lighting features, and panoramic sunroof illumination.
Jeep Adds CARA AI Voice Assistant
One of the biggest technology upgrades in the Meridian 85th Anniversary Edition is the addition of CARA AI assistant.
Developed by Stellantis, CARA is a voice-based assistant that helps drivers control various functions through voice commands.
It can assist with:
Navigation
Weather updates
Phone calls
Music controls
Vehicle functions
The system supports 52 languages, including several major Indian languages, making it easier for more users to interact with the vehicle.
Interestingly, Jeep has also introduced CARA in the regular Meridian Limited (O) variant, which now costs Rs 30.45 lakh. This is an increase of Rs 45,000 compared to its previous price.
Engine and Performance Remain Unchanged
Despite the cosmetic and feature upgrades, Jeep has not made any mechanical changes to the anniversary edition.
The SUV continues with the same:
2.0-litre diesel engine
170hp power output
350Nm torque
9-speed automatic gearbox
Optional 4×4 system
The anniversary edition is based on the Meridian Overland variant, which is already positioned as the premium version of the SUV.
No Extra Cost Over the Regular Overland Trim
One of the biggest highlights of the Jeep Meridian 85th Anniversary Edition is its pricing.
Despite receiving exclusive styling updates and additional features, it does not cost more than the regular Overland trim on which it is based.
With only 85 units available, the special edition could attract buyers looking for a more exclusive version of Jeep’s popular SUV.
Final Take
The Jeep Meridian 85th Anniversary Edition combines exclusive styling, new technology features, and premium interiors while keeping the same powerful diesel engine setup.
Limited to just 85 units and priced at Rs 36.05 lakh, it offers Jeep enthusiasts a rare opportunity to own a special version of the Meridian SUV
