The SUV craze in our country is growing day by day, and Jeep has taken full advantage of this opportunity. Recently, Jeep India has launched the Trail Edition of its popular SUVs – Jeep Compass and Meridian. These vehicles not only look stylish, but are also fully ready for off-roading.

In this article, we will tell you the special features of the Jeep Compass Trail Edition, its price and all the important information related to it that you should know before buying it.

Jeep has always been known for its vehicles with a rough-tough look and tremendous performance. In the Trail Edition, the company has given a tremendous combination of style and utility. Whether you are a family person or fond of traveling and adventure, these vehicles have brought something special for you. Let’s understand its features, price and off-roading power a little more closely.
Jeep Compass Trail Edition: What is special about it?
The Jeep Compass Trail Edition is built on the mid-level Longitude (O) variant, which makes it look and feel quite premium. This vehicle has special Trail Edition stickers on the bonnet and sides, which make it different from the normal model. Apart from this, the matte black grille, neutral grey shade, and red colour highlights give it an even bolder and rougher look. 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels and granite metallic gloss finish roof rails further enhance its beauty.

When I saw these details, I felt that Jeep had paid attention to every little thing. This car is perfect for those who want a feel of luxury and a touch of adventure in their car, both together.
Talking about performance and engine:
This Trail Edition has a 2.0-liter Multijet II diesel engine, which gives 170 horsepower and 350 Nm torque. In this, you get the option of a 6-speed manual and a 9-speed automatic gearbox. Although it does not have a 4×4 drive system, its special suspension and all-season tires make it drivable even on bad roads. Talking about mileage, this car gives an average of about 16.2 kilometers per liter in the city, which is good according to the vehicles of this range.
Price: Fits in your budget?
The starting price of the Jeep Compass Trail Edition is Rs 25.41 lakh (manual), and the automatic variant goes up to Rs 27.41 lakh (ex-showroom). On the other hand, the price of the Meridian Trail Edition ranges from Rs 31.27 lakh to Rs 37.27 lakh.
These prices are a bit higher than the regular variants, but considering the extra features and the benefits of the ‘Jeep Trust’ program, these vehicles are value for money. If your budget is between 25 to 30 lakh, then this vehicle can be a strong option for you.
What is the Jeep Trust Program?
Jeep has started a special scheme to attract its customers, named ‘Jeep Trust’. Through this program, the company is trying to win the trust of its customers and provide them with better services. Under this, those who buy the Compass Trail Edition will get 3 years of free maintenance service, 5 years of extended warranty, and a cash discount of up to Rs 20,000.
The Meridian Trail Edition also includes 3 years of free maintenance. These offers are very beneficial for those who are planning to drive the car for a long time. When I saw these offers, I felt that Jeep had really understood the needs of its customers very well.
Off-roading power:
Whenever we hear the name of Jeep, the first thing that comes to mind is off-roading, and the Trail Edition is not far behind in this regard. Even though the Compass Trail Edition does not have a 4×4 drive, its suspension and tires keep it ready for bad and rough roads.
On the other hand, the Meridian Trail Edition features a 4×4 system, which enhances its power even further. Whether you are driving on mountains or muddy tracks, these vehicles will not disappoint you.
The Jeep Compass and Meridian Trail Edition are specially designed for those who want style, powerful performance, and off-roading fun all in one. They are a little more expensive, but their features, premium interiors and Jeep Trust Program benefits make them a great deal.
If you’re looking for an SUV that looks stylish in the city and drives smoothly in the woods or mountains, then these vehicles are worth considering. How did you like this new Trail Edition? Let us know in the comments below or book a test drive at your nearest Jeep showroom.
