Powertrain
2.0L Multijet II Diesel (4x2): An old-fashioned big diesel in the best sense: 350 Nm arriving from 1,750 rpm makes a heavy seven-seater feel unhurried on a highway, and the nine-speed automatic keeps it quiet rather than quick

What the Longitude Diesel AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Longitude Diesel AT comes to ₹29,76,518 on the road in Ahmedabad and ₹34,17,198 in Kochi.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹4,40,680 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Gujarat, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram are level at the lowest, and Kerala comes out highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹27.53L ex-showroom this is the third of 13 Meridian variants by price, ₹1.23L above the Longitude Plus Diesel MT. The same Longitude features start at ₹4.20L less as the Longitude Diesel MT; the extra here buys the Diesel with the 9-speed torque-converter auto. Worth a hard look before you sign: the cheapest Longitude Plus actually costs ₹1.23L less than this variant and buys LED fog lamps and panoramic sunroof among 4 additions. That price is a different engine or gearbox though: keeping the Diesel with the 9-speed torque-converter auto, the Longitude Plus starts at ₹29.39L.
More about the Longitude trim
One thing first, because it is easy to miss at this price: the Longitude seats five, not seven. Jeep leaves the third row out and gives you a 670-litre boot in its place, so if you came here for seven seats you want the Longitude Plus. What you do get is the full safety kit, six airbags, ESC and TPMS, the 10.1in screen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and exactly the same engine as the top of the range.
Jeep Meridian Longitude: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Jeep Meridian Longitude Diesel AT?
- ₹27.53L, ex-showroom. That makes it 3rd of 13 by price, ₹1.23L above the Longitude Plus Diesel MT.
- What is the on-road price of the Jeep Meridian Longitude Diesel AT?
- Expect ₹29,76,518 in Ahmedabad and ₹34,17,198 in Kochi. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹4,40,680 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the ex-showroom price plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 25 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.
- Which engine and gearbox does the Jeep Meridian Longitude Diesel AT have?
- The Diesel, 170 PS, with the 9-speed torque-converter auto.
- What features does the Jeep Meridian Longitude Diesel AT get?
- The features worth naming on this trim: Airbags (6), Electronic stability control, All-wheel disc brakes, ISOFIX child seat anchorages, Tyre pressure monitor and Rear parking camera.
- What does the Jeep Meridian Longitude Diesel AT miss out on?
- The Longitude Plus above it adds LED fog lamps, panoramic sunroof, wireless phone charger and auto-dimming mirror, for ₹1.23L less. That is the cheapest way into the Longitude Plus though, on a different engine or gearbox: keeping this one, it is ₹1.86L more.
- Is the Longitude the right Meridian to buy?
- That depends on where the value sits across the whole range rather than on this trim alone, and we work it out variant by variant on our Jeep Meridian which-variant page. The short answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
