Jeep Meridian Rival Options
Similar to Compass, Jeep manufactures the right-hand-drive Meridian in India for domestic and export sales. Currently, the SUV in India faces tough competition from the more popular options like Toyota Fortuner and the MG Gloster. With the Meridian X and the Meridian Upland special editions, Jeep is aiming to keep the momentum and attract more customers. We also understand that there aren’t any new SUV launches coming up from the brand in the near future.
