Jeep has completed 85 years as a global SUV brand, and to mark the occasion, it has introduced something special for Indian buyers. The company has launched the Jeep Meridian 85th Anniversary Edition with a starting price of Rs 36.05 lakh (ex -showroom). This is not a regular special edition because Jeep will build only 85 units for the Indian market, making it a rare version for buyers and collectors.
Along with the anniversary model, Jeep has also introduced CARA AI, Stellantis’ new voice assistant, on the Meridian range. The feature is available on this special edition as well as the Meridian Limited (O), which now starts at Rs 30.45 lakh.

These colours are paired with the Gloss Black alloy wheels to give the SUV a more distinctive appearance.
New CARA AI voice assistant
One of the biggest additions is the new CARA AI voice assistant. It lets users control several functions using natural voice commands. The system supports 52 languages, including many Indian languages.
It can help with:
- Navigation

The assistant is designed to make everyday driving easier without needing to touch the screen for every task.
