Jeep India has rolled out new limited-run Trail Editions of its popular SUVs, the Compass and Meridian.

The Trail Editions are based on the Compass Longitude (O) and Meridian Limited (O) trims and are now available at dealerships across the country.

Design
Both SUVs receive a similar set of cosmetic upgrades that set them apart from the standard versions. On the outside, the Trail Editions feature bold Trail Edition hood and body decals along with Neutral Grey highlights on the grille, roof rails, badges, and side mirrors. They ride on stylish 18-inch dual-tone Granite Crystal alloy wheels, adding to their rugged appeal.
Step inside and you’ll find a refreshed cabin with a darker theme. Jeep has used black upholstery with contrasting red accents, giving the interior a sporty touch. Other upgrades include dark camouflage-style dashboard inserts, branded trail scuff plates, and practical all-weather floor mats, ensuring the cabin stays cleaner even during adventurous drives.
Pricing
The Trail Editions carry a slight premium over the variants they are based on, but also offer more value through visual enhancements and bundled benefits.
| Model | Manual Price (Ex-Showroom) | Automatic Price (Ex-Showroom) |
|---|---|---|
| Compass Trail Edition | Rs. 25.41 lakh | Rs. 27.41 lakh |
| Meridian Trail Edition | Rs. 31.27 lakh | Rs. 37.27 lakh (4×4 AT) |
The Compass Trail Edition is Rs. 58,000 more expensive than the standard Longitude (O) trim, while the Meridian Trail Edition commands a premium of Rs. 48,000 over the Meridian Limited (O).
Features
While both models share several updates, the Meridian Trail Edition gets a few extras that set it further apart. It features a high-gloss black roof, piano black interior inserts, red detailing on the front grille area, and blacked-out ORVMs, enhancing its premium and sporty look even more than its five-seater sibling.
Benefits
Jeep’s new ‘Jeep Trust’ program is all about enhancing the ownership experience. Buyers of the Compass Trail Edition receive a complimentary three-year annual maintenance contract, a five-year extended warranty, and an additional cash benefit worth Rs. 20,000. On the other hand, the Meridian Trail Edition comes with a three-year AMC included in the purchase, providing added peace of mind to buyers.
These benefits make the Trail Editions a smart pick for those looking for not just a bold-looking SUV but also a more cost-effective ownership package.
Jeep is clearly targeting enthusiasts and style-conscious buyers with these Trail Editions. They combine a rugged exterior with thoughtful interior tweaks, and the added warranty and service packages only sweeten the deal. With a limited production run, these editions may not stay long in showrooms. If you’ve been eyeing a Compass or Meridian with a bit more attitude and value, now might be the perfect time to book one.
