| re: India-bound Jeep 7-seater SUV, named Meridian Jeep Commander Launched in Brazil, India launch likely in mid-2022.
7-seater SUV is already on pre-sale in limited and overland versions, with 1.3 turbo engine of 185 hp or 2.0 diesel of 170 hp. Quote:
it is 4,769 mm long, 1,859 mm wide and 1,682 mm high, while its wheelbase is over 2,794 mm.

It will be sold in two versions (Limited and Overland) with two engine options each: 1.3 T270 turboflex and 2.0 TD380 turbodiesel. Whatever version you choose, they're all in pre-order from now on. The SUV will be in stores only from October 7.

the weight difference even small compared to the Compass, since the Commander has 1,685 kg (Limited T270) against 1,589 kg of the smaller brother (Version S), only 96 kg more.

in relation to the Compass the Commander is 365 mm longer, 40 mm wider and 54 mm taller, with the wheelbase bringing an abyssal difference of 158 mm, which in a technical data sheet analysis you can bet that the internal space is much wider. In the diesel version, it is slightly taller (height 1,702 mm) and is also further away from the ground (212 mm x 209 mm flex).
The trunk volume of the Jeep's large SUV is 661 liters with 5 seats, 233 liters with 7 seats in use or 1,760 liters when the seats of the 2nd and 3 rows are fully folded. For comparison, the Compass, which has space for 5 passengers, has a trunk with capacity for 476 liters (the Commander takes 185 liters more in configuration for 5 occupants).

the Overland version combines black leather and brown suede finish (black in limited) on the seats, on the door and panel panels. That is, practically the entire interior has soft surfaces to the touch, with little plastic in sight. The seats also have brown leather and details in embroidered suede on the backrest and sides (outside the central seam with chess shape, which gives a lot of refinement), coming with seams in bronze tone – which also appears throughout the cabin.
The bronze color will also be present on the panel and on the edge of the center console, which in turn brings in the leather jacket arm rests with the inscription Jeep 1941, a reference to the year of launch of the Willys MB. The dashboard is 100% digital with 10.25-inch screen, while the multimedia center has 10.1" screen and support for smartphone mirroring via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay without the use of cables.

the new Commander 2022 brings as an option the 1.3 turboflex T270 engine that debuted on the Compass this year. This set yields up to 185 hp at 5,750 rpm and 27.5 kgfm of torque at 1,750 rpm, in this case always sending its force to the front wheels and equipped with 6-speed automatic transmission. The only feature to assist on a dirt road with low grip situations is traction control with TC+ function.

the Commander with turbodiesel engine 2.0 will certainly be the most indicated. And although it didn't come more powerful as it had been speculated, thus keeping its 170 hp at 3,750 rpm, Jeep ended up recalibrating the engine imported from Italy to get more "torcudo" and go from 35.7 kgfm of torque to 1,750 rpm to 38.7 kgfm (3 kgfm more). Good news, 'cause commander's got a few extra pounds over his little brother. Therefore also the surname TD380 in diesel versions, which makes mention of the torque of 380 in Newton-meter.
Like other Models of the Stellantis group equipped with this diesel booster, the SUV has automatic transmission of 9 gears and 4x4 traction, with selector driving modes that includes a mode that uses the 1st gear as "reduced". For better off-road performance, all Diesel Commander also has terrain mode selector and descent control.
