Trail Edition or Limited (O), and what each costs
Where you start
Trail Edition
From ₹30.39L to ₹32.86L ex-showroom Delhi
Limited (O)'s equipment for a little less: Rs 6,000 under it on the manual and Rs 1.33 lakh under it on the automatic, with a gloss black roof, skid plates, camo appliques and Trail badging. The trade is the seats: black vinyl with ruby red accents instead of the Limited (O)'s vegan leather. If that suits you, the automatic is the standout saving.
- Trail Edition Diesel MT₹30.39L
- Trail Edition Diesel AT₹32.86L
The step up
Limited (O)
From ₹30.45L to ₹36.05L ex-showroom Delhi
Where it starts feeling like the money: nine Alpine speakers, the 10.2in digital cluster, a 360 camera, ventilated and powered front seats with memory, third-row cooling with its own controls, vegan leather and the full Uconnect suite with automatic SOS calling. Newer cars also get a second row that slides. Worth knowing about the step above: the Limited (O) 4x4 and the Overland cost exactly the same, Rs 36.05 lakh, so that is a fork rather than a rung. You pick the four-wheel drive or you pick the ADAS suite, and only the Rs 37.92 lakh Overland 4x4 gives you both.
- Limited (O) Diesel MT₹30.45L
- Limited (O) Diesel FWD AT₹34.19L
- Limited (O) Diesel AWD AT₹36.05L
Our take
Keeps ₹6,000, and gives up only leatherette upholstery
Buy the Jeep Meridian Trail Edition and keep the ₹6,000: the Meridian Limited (O) only adds small touches like leatherette upholstery. Nothing there changes the car.
What Trail Edition to Limited (O) costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹6,420 to ₹7,380 on the road, against the ₹6,000 the price list shows.
Why the road figure moves, and by how much
Road tax is charged on what the car costs, so moving up a trim moves the tax up with it. The ₹6,000 is the distance between two price tags; the road figures add the tax and the charges that difference attracts.
The rate is your state's to choose, and they do not choose alike, so this one step is worth ₹960 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Gujarat, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram are level at the lowest, and Kerala comes out highest.
Only the rate where the car is registered applies to you, so hold a dealer's quote against your own state's figure rather than the range. The range is still worth knowing: it is why two owners can quote this step to each other, differ by ₹960, and both be right.
What the Limited (O) adds
- Leatherette upholstery
