Jeep Meridian ‘X’ Edition specifications
The Jeep Meridian X features a grey roof and alloy wheels with grey accents. In addition to the standard Meridian features, it includes extra equipment like side molding, puddle lamps, programmable ambient lighting, sunshades, an air purifier, premium carpet mats, an optional rear-seat entertainment package, and a dashcam.
The Meridian X is powered by a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder diesel engine that produces 170hp and 350Nm of peak torque. This engine can be paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox or an optional 9-speed torque converter automatic. It's currently uncertain whether the Meridian X will offer both gearbox options, as well as whether it will be available in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive configurations.
Meanwhile, the Jeep Meridian is scheduled to undergo a mid-life update later this year. The recent sighting of the updated SUV confirmed subtle styling changes. These are expected to include updated bumpers, a revised grille, and the significant addition of an ADAS suite.

This launch follows the automaker's recent introduction of special editions of the Comet, Hector, ZS EV, and Astor to celebrate the brand's 100th anniversary.
