That Toyota van is very luxurious and awesome

That Toyota van is very luxurious and awesome mind-blowing this is fantastic I would like to buy this van but I have no money this is my dream van I hope Toyota gives me a very special discount

Don't buy

Never buy any Jeep product that is not fit for Indian customers, lacks service, stud down dealers, is extremely high maintenance, and has the worst real value. I'm already an existing user. Good to drive is the only reason, go for XUV 700, mg, best will Toyota, Tata you regret and suffer after 2 years of this JEEP, thankyou

The Meridian X is based on the Limited Plus variant, while the Meridian Upland is based on the Limited(O) trim. The special edition Meridians get a distinct look that make them stand out and are capable both on off-road trails as well as the urban jungle. We have seen both these SUVs in person and here is everything you need to know about it.

2022 Jeep Meridian First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre01 May 2022

The Jeep Meridian is a new three-row SUV for the Indian market and is based on the Compass. Though the interior and powertrain options are similar to the smaller sibling, the Meridian with the brand's uni-body architecture boasts some cosmetic enhancements. Also, it's way bigger in size and goes on to emulate the Grand Cherokee. How does it perform? Well, we drove it recently to know the answer. This diesel-only 4WD seven-seater, upon launch in India, will compete with the MG Gloster and the Toyota Fortuner.
