As per the reports, the new SUV will be equipped with new mechanics. It is supposed to have first in segment independent front and rear suspension. As the power source, it will have the same 2.0-litre engine as the Compass tuned to produce more power.

There would be two variants available, and a petrol engine might be added later. The Meridian's production will begin in May, and the launch is slated to follow afterwards. Along with it, the new Jeep Grand Cherokee will also be produced in India.

Grand Cherokee is one of the top-end SUVs from the automaker. It is expected to have a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine mated with 8-speed automatic transmission. It will also be equipped with appropriate technology like 4x4, Quadra-Trac and Selec-Terrain traction management system.

In addition, The Jeep Compass Trailhawk will be introduced as an off-road-oriented version of the Compass. With the factory-raised suspension, standard four metallic skid plates, and a standard Jeep Active Drive Low 4x4 20:1 crawl ratio, it will be more tailored for off-road.
