Jeep India has introduced rugged new avatars of its Compass and Meridian SUVs with the launch of the limited-run Trail Editions. Priced from ₹25.41 lakh for the Compass and ₹31.27 lakh for the Meridian (ex-showroom), these special variants bring unique visual upgrades, additional features, and bundled aftersales benefits that make them stand out from the standard lineup.

Let’s dive into what’s new and what these Trail Editions bring to the table.

Jeep Compass Trail Edition: Adventure-Inspired Style on a Budget

The Compass Trail Edition is based on the mid-spec Longitude (O) variant and commands a premium of ₹58,000 over it. For that price bump, buyers get a significantly refreshed exterior, interior enhancements, and an attractive aftersales package.

Exterior Changes:

The design updates are all about ruggedness and bold visual cues. The Compass Trail Edition gets:

• Matte black accents on the front grille
• Unique decals on the bonnet and front doors
• Grey finish on the ORVMs, roof rails, rear bumper, and all Jeep badging
• Red-colored lower lip on the front bumper for a sporty touch
• A new design for the dual-tone 18-inch alloy wheels

Four color options are available: Exotica Red, Brilliant Black, Pearl White, and Grigio Magnesio (grey).

Interior Touches:

Inside, Jeep has added red contrast accents across:

• Dashboard
• Gear knob
• Steering wheel
• Seats (black leatherette upholstery)

A “Dark Camouflage” pattern on the dashboard adds a unique flair, and all-weather floor mats with “Trail Edition” branding give it a rugged finish.

Features:

All the standard goodies from the Longitude (O) variant are present, including:

• 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with connected car tech
• 7-inch digital instrument cluster
• Dual-zone climate control
• Auto headlights
• Dual-pane panoramic sunroof

Engine & Transmission:

The Compass Trail Edition retains the tried-and-tested 170hp, 2.0-litre diesel engine, paired with either:

• A 6-speed manual gearbox (₹25.41 lakh)
• A 9-speed automatic gearbox (₹27.41 lakh)

Aftersales Benefits:

Jeep is offering several value-adds for Trail Edition buyers:

• 3-year complimentary annual maintenance package
• 5-year extended warranty
• ₹20,000 cash discount

Jeep Meridian Trail Edition: Premium Toughness with 4×4 Option

If you’re looking for a bit more space and luxury without compromising on rugged appeal, the Meridian Trail Edition might be your ideal pick. It’s based on the higher-spec Limited (O) variant and costs just ₹48,000 more than the standard model.

Exterior Updates:

Like the Compass, the Meridian Trail Edition features:

• Trail Edition badging and matte decals
• Greyed-out accents on the grille, ORVMs, headlight housings, and rear bumper
• Gloss black roof
• Red bumper highlights for that off-road-ready look

Interior Enhancements:

The cabin now gets:

• Black vinyl upholstery with red stitching
• Dark camouflage appliqué on the dash
• Piano black finish around the centre console and speaker surrounds

These subtle but stylish tweaks elevate the cabin’s sporty feel.

Engine & Variants:

Powering the Meridian Trail Edition is the same 2.0-litre diesel engine, generating 170hp and 350 N · m. It’s offered in:

• 6-speed manual (₹31.27 lakh)
• 9-speed automatic with front-wheel drive (₹33.27 lakh)
• 9-speed automatic with 4×4 AWD (₹37.27 lakh)

This makes it one of the more capable off-road-ready SUVs in the segment.

Aftersales Perks:

Just like the Compass, Meridian buyers get: Complimentary 3-year annual maintenance package
