Jeep Meridian Track Edition: What’s new in the updated seven-seater SUV?

Jeep Meridian Track Edition: What’s new in the updated seven-seater SUV?

The Hindu
Wednesday, February 18, 2026 07:03:25 AM UTC

The Jeep Meridian Track Edition adds darker styling, dual-tone interiors and a 140 mm sliding second row for greater cabin flexibility. Powered by a 2.0-litre MultiJet II diesel with available 4WD and Selec-Terrain, it blends premium features, Level 2 ADAS and Jeep Confidence 7 ownership benefits in a versatile three-row SUV.

On the outside, the Track Edition adopts darker detailing to distinguish it from the standard Meridian. Piano black accents feature on the grille, badges and exterior mouldings, while the grille itself features a dark espresso finish with neutral grey highlights. The SUV also gains a Track Edition hood decal and dedicated badging, along with 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. These updates are cosmetic rather than structural, but they lend the Meridian a more premium and purposeful visual identity.

The most significant update is inside the cabin, where Jeep has introduced a 140 mm sliding second row. This enhancement improves access to the third row while offering greater flexibility in adjusting legroom and cargo space, a key usability consideration in three-row SUVs. For a vehicle positioned as a premium seven-seater, this is a meaningful functional change rather than a purely aesthetic update.

Interior materials and finishes have also been updated. The Track Edition features dual-tone upholstery with suede inserts, complemented by contrast stitching and quilting on the seats and bolsters. Piano black trim elements are used across the dashboard and centre console, paired with dark espresso accents on key surfaces. The steering wheel is leather-wrapped with detailed stitching, and Track Edition branding appears on cabin appliqués and floor mats. The overall approach is evolutionary, but it elevates the perceived quality of the interior compared to the standard variant.

Mechanically, the Track Edition remains unchanged from the existing Meridian. It continues to be powered by Jeep’s 2.0-litre MultiJet II diesel engine, which produces 170 hp and 350 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, and both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive configurations are available. The 4WD version retains Jeep’s Selec-Terrain system, allowing drivers to adjust traction settings for different driving conditions. There are no changes to suspension, steering or drivetrain hardware, keeping the Track Edition aligned with the Meridian’s current on-road and off-road character.

The feature list closely mirrors the higher trims of the Meridian range. Highlights include a 10.1-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, and a premium Alpine audio system. Comfort features include electrically adjustable ventilated front seats with memory, a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, and multiple USB ports for all three rows. Driver assistance is handled by Level 2 ADAS with a suite of active safety functions, adding to the Meridian’s technology offering in the premium three-row segment.
