Jeep Prowess

Same heart, same body but two different characters. We go on a drive behind the wheel of both versions of the Jeep Meridian. Same destination but two different experiences

- Joshua Varghese 

DRIVING HAS ALWAYS BEEN PERSONAL. The pace, the route, and even the music. Everybody has definite expectations from their drive. The Jeep Meridian is one of the most capable turbo-diesels in the market and when they launched two versions of this large SUV, Aspi Bhathena, Editor, Car India, and yours truly set off on a drive towards a common destination but our routes were different.

I was clear about what I wanted. The off-road-biased Upland and its tough exterior made perfect sense for me. While the roof-rail is a visible giveaway about the SUV's off-road intent, Jeep's attention to detail is evident in the cabin too. The carpet and floor-mats of the Upland are designed to be easy to clean, which makes life a lot easier for those who like to explore without limits.
