re: India-bound Jeep 7-seater SUV, named Meridian

This could very well be based on the Dodge Durango platform.

This may share the looks of the Grand Cherokee(guessing on the grill visible) and the Durango Platform.

re: India-bound Jeep 7-seater SUV, named Meridian

Jeep's Seven seater confirmed by Stellantis, to debut in the second half, of 2021.

Quote:
The 7-seater Jeep will have the same interior as the restyled Compass. The difference will be because of golden details in the internal finish
Quote:
For the time being, the prototypes circulate only with diesel engines, the tip is the exhaust outlet which, with the alterations of the 2.0 Turbo diesel engine, was moved to the left side, like the Compass 2022 .
Quote:
Inside, the 7-seater Jeep that will be born from Project 598 will keep the panel that will debut in Compass 2022, the difference will be due to chrome details spread throughout the interior such as the air conditioning outlets, outline of the speakers, door handles frames among other locations. The multimedia center will be floating with a huge screen above 10 ″

Looks shorter compared to Fortuner / Endy. If Compass pricing is anything to go by, this could be touching ~50 lacs on-road in Bengaluru

re: India-bound Jeep 7-seater SUV, named Meridian

A longer, wider and taller SUV from Jeep, likely to be called the Grand Compass spied in production form.

India-bound Jeep 7-seater SUV, named Meridian-flagrajeep7ocupantesprojeto5981.jpg


Quote:
shows that the SUV that will be born from Project 598 is bigger, taller and longer than the Compass.
Quote:
Project 598 is also called “Low D”, that is, the new 7-seater Jeep will act at the entrance door of the “D” segment. When Jeep engineering says it is another car compared to the Compass, it is not a commercial exaggeration.
Quote:
the new seven-seat Jeep SUV will have a larger wheelbase to facilitate access to the extra seats, the gain in length will be greater from the “B” column. Also shows that his height will grow considerably compared to Compass.
Quote:
The relationship with Compass will also be present inside, since the panel will be shared, but with exclusive finishing details. The multimedia center will also be the largest available in the Compass line with a screen above 12 inches.
Quote:
the rear will be much more vertical than the Compass to house the two extra seats. The rear window is also much larger.

To facilitate the view, the “C” column will have a large glass area and a small piece of can to join with the trunk lid.
Quote:
fenders and hood are the same as the Compass, but headlights and bumpers will be exclusive to the largest national Jeep
Quote:
the SUV would be 100% turbo and hinted that there would be two engines, one flex and one diesel. However, all the prototypes found so far run with 2.0 Turbodiesel engines.

Jeep H6 seven seat SUV India launch in 2022.

India-bound Jeep 7-seater SUV, named Meridian-20210217105141_jeep_7_seat_suv_yuntu_concept_1_tag.jpg

The Jeep new SUV will have its world premiere later this year( 4th April?).

Quote:
New 7 seat Jeep to make world debut later this year.
India launch of Jeep H6 SUV in first half of 2022.
RHD version codenamed H6; LHD codenamed H1.
This new SUV will have some similar body panels up front, with the real changes coming after the B pillar. There will be longer rear doors a more upright rear, with unique styling that will mimic newer Jeeps like the Grand Cherokee L and Grand Wagoneer concept.

Quote:
All features on the facelift Jeep Compass to be carried forward to the Seven seater.

The new Jeep H6 SUV will come with the same 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, Multijet turbo-diesel engine from the Compass, but it will be tuned to produce around 200hp,considerably higher than the 173hp it currently makes. The engine is also expected to come with a nine-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox as standard. And, of course, this being a Jeep, higher variants are expected to come with all-wheel drive as well.

Whether the Jeep H6 for India will get a petrol engine remains to be seen, but the left-hand-drive version (codename: H1) of the seven seat SUV will most likely get the brand’s new 1.3-litre turbo petrol engine.

re: India-bound Jeep 7-seater SUV, named Meridian

My sincerest recommendation to jeep- please change your 9 speed at. I just drove the new Safari today and the Hyundai box is so much smoother and responsive than my trailhawk.
I have driven the limited plus automatic too and that isn’t much better either. Maybe marginally. Keep the solid driving feel of the compass, but please change the autobox. The manual compass is much faster

re: India-bound Jeep 7-seater SUV, named Meridian

Jeep Compass and the new seven-seater Jeep revealing what they have in common and the differences!!

- both share the same small wide 4 × 4 platform

- The waist line is less ascending in the seven-seater Jeep (Project 598) compared to the Compass

- The roof is also higher compared to the smaller SUV

- The huge rear door is evident

- The passenger compartment starts to widen from the “B” column to the rear, where the biggest changes are concentrated in the larger SUV

-The glass in the door is also larger in height and width compared to the average SUV for five occupants

- The door designs are identical on both models

-The seven-seater Jeep will have a spy glass on the “C” column, which in addition to reducing the claustrophobic effect to extra occupants

-At the rear, the new model will have the trunk lid well verticalized, the lanterns will have almost the same shape as the Compass, but they invade the lid from end to end, being separated only by the Jeep logo.

re: India-bound Jeep 7-seater SUV, named Meridian

New Jeep Compass-Based Three-Row CUV Spied Testing In Sweden:

Quote:
can clearly see Jeep's seven-bar grille behind lighter covers. Also easily see the stretched backside of this compact CUV which hides a third row of seats. But don't call it a Grand Compass, or even a Compass for that matter.
Quote:
basically a stretched Compass despite the name game
Quote:
it's based on the current Compass, and it will share design cues both inside and out with the familiar two-row model. It won't be a carbon copy – can see shades of the new Grand Cherokee peaking through the front-end camouflage, specifically with the LED lamps at the corners of the front fascia. The wheel arches have the chunky Compass shape, however, and looking very closely at the back, we can make out the up-angled D-pillar glass that's also a Compass trademark.

Quote:
this seven-seater could get a turbocharged 2.0-liter diesel good for approximately 200 horsepower (149 kilowatts), turning all four wheels through a nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel-drive models could have a smaller turbocharged 1.3-liter gasoline mill making 180 hp (134 kW), also using the nine-speed auto. If some of this sounds familiar, the current Compass offers 180 hp and a nine-speed transmission, though it uses a 2.4-liter engine.

re: India-bound Jeep 7-seater SUV, named Meridian

Jeep's 7 Seater derived from Compass will have only diesel engine and will be sold in two versions.

- To be christened in April, but without revealing its look.
- Jeep will have a 2.0 Turbo diesel engine with an Ad-blue tank for exhaust gas treatment

Quote:
The seven-seater Jeep will only have a 2.0 Turbo diesel engine with an estimated 203 hp and torque of around 40 kgfm, it will be linked to the nine-speed ZF gearbox and 4 × 4 traction. The new model will initially be offered in two finish versions.

re: India-bound Jeep 7-seater SUV, named Meridian

What is remarkable are the proportions. Unlike the other 7 seater SUVs, this car is very low slung and very longish, almost like station wagon. This should definitely help with the car-like driving dynamics.

re: India-bound Jeep 7-seater SUV, named Meridian

Jeep's 7 seater likely to be priced above R $ 250,000 in Brazil (on conversion~ + INR 34 lakhs)


The diesel only engine powered by the 2.0 L Turbodiesel Multijet II delivering 203 hp and more than 40 kgfm torque.
This gain will not only come from optimizations of this engine, as the need to use Arla 32 for emission reduction.

Quote:
The responsible for the increase of power by 33 hp and more than 4 kgfm compared to the current 2.0 turbodiesel that team Renegade and Compass would be a turbo variable geometry integrated to the exhaust collector, accompanied by higher pressure of common rail injection and new injectors. These are upgrades already made in the 2.2 Multijet II engine that equips the Jeep Cherokee in Europe and effective to decrease the turbolag, very noticeable in 2.0.

Quote:
The torque will arrive very close to the limit of 44 kgfm supported by the automatic 9-speed ZF transmission, which will have its operation optimized for the new power and torque regime. Permanent all-wheel drive will be standard in the model.
Name reveal of this SUV will happen on 4th April.

re: India-bound Jeep 7-seater SUV, named Meridian

Jeep seven seater SUV could be named as Patriot

Jeep still holds a trademark for the Patriot name around the world until 2025. It was filed way back in the early 2000s, ahead of the Patriot launch for the 2007 model year
Quote:
We expect the new Jeep to be offered for Brazil and India
