Meanwhile, the Overland and Overland 4x4 variant have received a price cut of Rs. 65,000 and Rs. 1.34 lakh, which is impressive considering the top variant of the 2024 Meridian now offers ADAS.   

2024 Jeep Meridian Gets Subtle Design Changes

The Jeep Meridian gets minimal design changes to keep it looking fresh among a sea of SUVs. While the Meridian retains the iconic 7-slot grille, it now gets chrome studs for a more stylish look. The new grille also features a front parking camera, and the alloy wheels have received a refresh as well, adopting a new 5-spoke design. Overall, the Meridian's silhouette remains largely unchanged.
