Based on the same platform as the Compass, the Meridian is longer, taller and wider and has a longer wheelbase as well. Aside from just increased boot space, the Meridian can take in more people than the Compass as well with a seating capacity of seven thanks to the additional row. Visually, it gets signature Jeep styling traits but there is clear differentiation between it and the Compass. While the dashboard is nearly identical to the Compass, Jeep has equipped the Meridian with different upholstery and interior trims.
Jeep is offering the Meridian only in higher-end Limited and Limited (O) trims. The former misses out on the panoramic sunroof, powered tailgate, dual-tone exterior options and the 10.2-inch instrument cluster, getting a 7-inch digital display instead. Meridian 4x2 is available with either a 6-speed MT or 9-speed AT in both trims, while the Meridian 4x4 is restricted to the automatic variant in Limited (O) trim.
As it stands, the Jeep Meridian doesn’t exactly have any direct rivals. At this price, though, the SUV locks horns with the Skoda Kodiaq, although that’s petrol only, as well as more traditional body on frame SUVs like the Toyota Fortuner and even the MG Gloster. Then there’s the Citroen C5 Aircross, which is similar in size and gets a diesel powertrain but no three-row option.
