Jeep India has opened bookings for the updated Meridian SUV ahead of its expected launch next week. This is the first time since the launch of the SUV two years ago, that it will receive a notable update. With the update, the model will receive a range of new features, although the vehicle is not expected to receive any changes on the design front. A bigger talking point is that the SUV will also be offered in a five-seat format unlike its predecessor, which was solely offered in three-row, seven-seat guise.
