2026 Jeep Meridian: What’s New?
The update brings a major practical addition to the second-row seats on the Limited and Overland variants. The SUV now gets sliding second-row seats, aimed at improving flexibility and passenger comfort, especially for third-row occupants. Even the reclining adjustment has been tweaked, all to make the SUV a more practical option.
Jeep says these enhancements have been done for better legroom as well as easier ingress and egress for third-row occupants.
Besides, there are no further changes to the design and feature set of the premium SUV. It still comes equipped with a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, a panoramic sunroof, a wireless phone charger, a 9-speaker Alpine sound system, ventilated front seats with 8-way power-adjustment (the driver seat also has a memory function), a powered tailgate, and connected car tech.
Safety features include 6 airbags, traction control, electronic stability control, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), a 360-degree camera, hill descent control, rain-sensing wipers, and level-2 ADAS (advanced driver assistance system).
