Jeep Launches Meridian 85th Anniversary Edition at Rs 36.05 Lakh

MUMBAI: Turning 85 is usually an excuse to put your feet up, but Jeep is putting its foot firmly on the accelerator instead. To mark eight-and-a-half decades of off-road pedigree, the American SUV manufacturer has rolled out the exclusive Meridian 85th Anniversary Edition in India, priced from Rs 36.05 lakh (ex-showroom).

If you want to park a piece of this birthday celebration in your driveway, you will need to act fast. Jeep is keeping the guest list strictly exclusive, producing a run of just 85 units nationwide. Based on the top-tier Overland trim, this collector’s item aims to combine rugged roots with polished sophistication.

On the outside, the limited edition sets itself apart with Gloss Black 18-inch alloy wheels and subtle commemorative touches. Step inside, and the cabin drops its usual attire for an all-black theme elevated by bespoke Mayan Gold accents and contrast detailing. For buyers looking to crank the luxury up another notch, Jeep offers curated 85th Anniversary AXS packages. These add plush carpet floor mats, custom decal kits, ambient interior lighting, and special illumination for the Sky Lounge sunroof.

Commenting on the milestone launch, Kumar Priyesh, Business Head & Director, Automotive Brands at Stellantis India, noted that Jeep has represented far more than just a vehicle for 85 years, symbolizing freedom, exploration, and the confidence to venture anywhere. He added that this collector’s edition serves as a tribute to that legacy and to the community of drivers who have shaped the brand across generations.

The celebration also brings a tech upgrade across the broader lineup. Jeep has introduced CARA AI, Stellantis’ intelligent voice assistant, which comes integrated into the 85th Anniversary Edition and expands across the Meridian range. Capable of understanding natural speech in 52 languages—including multiple Indian regional languages, the AI handles everything from navigation, weather updates, and phone calls to playing music, answering trivia, and executing vehicle commands.

With the standard Jeep Meridian lineup now starting at Rs 30.45 lakh (ex-showroom), this 85-unit anniversary run sits at the top as a rare treat for brand loyalists. Prospective buyers can place their orders through authorised Jeep dealerships across the country or via the official Jeep India website before all 85 slots vanish.
