Launched in mid 2017, the Compass helped Jeep establish a strong foundation in India, but launches since then have been few and far between. Aside from an update for the Compass and its Trailhawk variant, the only other launch of significance has been the Wrangler, but that isn't exactly what one would classify as mainstream or affordable. Naturally, then, there is plenty of buzz around the Meridian, which, although will be pricier than the Compass, is an SUV that more can aspire to own and enters a segment that doesn't really have too many options.
