Jeep India has introduced two bold new offerings for SUV enthusiasts — the Compass Trail Edition and Meridian Trail Edition. Priced from ₹25.41 lakh (ex-showroom), these limited-run trims bring a fresh design update and added ownership benefits under Jeep’s newly introduced ‘Jeep Trust’ program.
Both editions are based on mid-spec variants: the Compass Longitude (O) and Meridian Limited (O), but with unique cosmetic upgrades, special badging, and an interior refresh aimed at customers who crave exclusivity with rugged styling.
Trail Editions: Distinct Visual Identity
The Compass Trail Edition gets a distinctive darkened aesthetic treatment, setting it apart from the regular lineup. Elements like the grille rings, roof rails, rear fascia, and even the Jeep and Compass logos are now finished in Neutral Grey. Red accents on the front lower bumper add a subtle but sporty touch, while Trail Edition graphics on the hood and side panels boost its visual identity.
Other exterior highlights include:
- 18-inch Granite Metallic dual-tone wheels
- Matte black grille
- Trail Edition decals and limited edition badging
On the inside, the Compass Trail Edition receives:
- Black upholstery with red contrast stitching
- Camouflage-style dashboard graphics
- Trail Edition all-weather floor mats
- Mid-bolster detailing in red
The overall package is aggressive, modern, and adventure-ready — in true Jeep fashion.
Meridian Trail Edition: Premium and Purposeful
The larger Meridian Trail Edition takes a more refined yet rugged route. Its design combines Neutral Grey and Piano Black highlights with a gloss black contrast roof, giving it a commanding road presence. Key cosmetic changes include:
- Gloss black roof rails, fog lamp bezels, and cladding trim
- Red front fascia accents and Trail Edition decals
- Unique tail lamp surrounds for a bolder rear look
Inside, the cabin is wrapped in black vinyl, accented with red contrast elements. Themed skid plates, Trail Edition scuff plates, and special dashboard graphics tie the look together for a premium off-road-ready feel.
Powertrains and Features: No Mechanical Changes
Both Trail Editions retain the same powertrains as their base variants. That means:
- The Compass continues with its 2.0L diesel engine, available with both manual and automatic transmissions
- The Meridian also gets the same diesel engine, but offers a choice of manual, automatic, and 4×4 automatic drivetrains
Feature-wise, these editions build on the well-equipped base trims with touchscreen infotainment, wireless connectivity, connected car tech, climate control, and safety features like six airbags, ESP, and more.
Pricing Breakdown
Here’s how the pricing looks (all prices ex-showroom):
- Compass Trail Edition Manual – ₹25.41 lakh

- Meridian Trail Edition Manual – ₹31.27 lakh

For customers looking to stand out without opting for the top-end trims, these Trail Editions offer a value-loaded middle ground.
Jeep Trust Program: Added Ownership Value
To make the Trail Editions even more enticing, Jeep India has introduced the ‘Jeep Trust’ ownership package, focused on long-term peace of mind.
For Compass Trail Edition buyers, Jeep offers:
- Three-year Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC)
- Five-year extended warranty
- Cash discount of ₹20,000

This makes both editions attractive propositions for buyers who value both adventure and hassle-free ownership.
