As seen above, the new entry-level variants pack all the essential convenience and safety features, but misses out on the premium niceties. The most value for money variant according to this author would be the Limited (O) variant which packs almost all features at a significantly lower price when compared to the top-spec variant, albeit if you are willing to skip ADAS and all-wheel drive. The Overland trim would be for those who want the complete package featuring ADAS features and a more premium upholstery with leather finishes throughout the cabin. 

The 4WD option is restricted to the top-spec Overland trim and the 5-seater option is available only with the base-spec Longitude variant. For more information about the updated Jeep Meridian, check out our story on the same.
