Jeep India has updated the pricing of its Compass and Meridian SUVs. Most of the trims have received a uniform price increase of Rs 35,000. However, both SUVs’ base variants feature a major price cut. The reason for the impact of this price change is due to the recent update given to the SUVs for the implementation of BS6 Phase II Emission Norms.
