2024 Jeep Meridian may be launched in India with ADAS tech, spotted during testing

Jeep India is preparing to introduce the new Meridian in the domestic market. There are also preparations to add ADAS or Advanced Driver Aids System to it. Recently, a testing mule of the SUV was spotted in Bengaluru, which was equipped with ADAS sensors at the front. It is being tested by BOSCH, so the SUV will likely use the Bosch-sourced ADAS sensor.

The ADAS sensors can be seen in the lower half of the grille in the spy shot. Apart from ADAS, there are no other changes in this SUV. If the Meridian comes with ADAS, there are chances that ADAS will be added to the Jeep Compass as well.

Currently, Jeep Meridian competes with Toyota Fortuner and MG Gloster. Of these, only Gloster comes with ADAS technology. Last year, the brand recently introduced the overland version of the Meridian. Some cosmetic changes have been made to it compared to the standard Meridian.

Mechanically, the 2.0-litre diesel engine has been dropped from the new Meridian. It produces a maximum power of 168 bhp and peak torque of 350 Nm. The Meridian is offered with a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 9-speed torque converter automatic transmission. There are 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrains on offer. However, it does not have a petrol engine.
