Jeep Compass and Meridian Trail Editions Launched in India: Tough Looks, Real Perks
Well, would you look at that – Jeep has shaken things up. If your current SUV feels more like a mall crawler than a trail tamer, the new Compass and Meridian Trail Editions in India might just be your ticket to adventure. They’re not your typical blacked-out editions that pretend to be special – Jeep’s put in some real effort here. They’ve got some thought behind them – and surprisingly, some actual perks too.
Prices for the special editions begin at ₹25.41 lakh for the Compass and ₹31.27 lakh for the Meridian, ex-showroom. Yep, they’re limited editions. Blink and they’ll be gone.
So, What’s New Here?
These Trail Editions aren’t mechanically different, but Jeep has done just enough to make you look twice.
Jeep Compass Trail Edition: Ready for Dirt and Style
- It has matte black grille accents, Neutral Grey trim and bold hood/body decals – you’ll look like you belong on a trail, even if you’re just in a parking lot.
- Those 18-inch dual-tone alloys finished in Granite Metallic Satin Gloss? Let’s just say they’re doing all the right things for curb appeal.
- Inside it’s black leatherette with Ignite Red stitching, dark camo graphics on the dash and even Trail Edition all-weather mats. Rain or chai spills – bring it on.
Power? It’s the same old 2.0L Multijet diesel making 170 PS and 350 Nm with a 6-speed manual or 9-speed auto. Reliable, punchy, no drama.
Jeep Meridian Trail Edition: Tough but Make It Fancy
- This one has the black roof, Trail badging, Neutral Grey accents and red touches on the face – just enough attitude without being over-the-top.
- Inside is a mix of black vinyl, ruby red highlights, camouflage details and a Piano Black center console that gives off “premium gone rogue” energy.
- And yes, it still has three-row seating and your choice of FWD or AWD – same tough 2.0L diesel under the hood.
Jeep Trust’ Is the Best Part
No tricks here – Jeep is including actual ownership value. Compass Trail gets a 3-year Annual Maintenance Contract, 5-year extended warranty and ₹20,000 cash benefit. No asterisks, just included.
- Meridian Trail gets a 3-year AMC built into the price.
Jeep calls this the Jeep Trust program and we think it’s a pretty cool idea.
