It is only available with a diesel engine at the moment (the tried-and-tested 2.0L Multijet powerplant), with a 4×4 drivetrain option on offer too. Its closest rivals in the Indian market include Toyota Fortuner, MG Gloster, and Skoda Kodiaq. The Toyota SUV is available with both petrol and diesel engine options, while Skoda offers only a petrol engine option on its SUV. As for Gloster, it only gets diesel engine options, similar to Meridian. Toyota Fortuner petrol and MG Gloster are the closest to Jeep Meridian in terms of pricing.
