The Meridian’s design hasn’t changed with the update

 

Visually, the Meridian’s design remains identical to its predecessor in all aspects. While the interior layout has also been retained, the upholstery colour schemes have changed. The lower-spec Longitude and Longitude Plus trims come with Seal Grey upholstery, while the Limited (O) trim can be had with a new Wicker Beige colour scheme. Only the Longitude trim of the SUV can be had in a five-seat format, while all the other trims continue to be offered in a three-row configuration.

 

The five-seater version has a boot space of 680 litres

 

A major change on the feature front is that the top-spec Overland variant now gets an advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) suite with features such as adaptive cruise control, smart beam assist, lane keep assist, lane departure warning and collision mitigation braking. 

 

The interior layout remains identical, although upholstery colour schemes have changed

 

While the freestanding 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment unit is standard, the 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster is only available with the Limited (O) and Overland trims. The Longitude and Longitude Plus trims come with a semi-digital instrument cluster. The SUV can be had with a panoramic sunroof from the Longitude Plus trim onwards. Other misses on the base trim include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a wireless charger and rear seatbelt reminders. On the safety front, the Meridian gets six airbags and disc brakes on all wheels as standard.

The Meridian retains the same diesel engine as before

 

On the powertrain front, the SUV retains the same 2.0-litre, four-cylinder MultiJet diesel engine belting out 168 bhp and 350 Nm of torque. The Limited (O) and Overland variants can be had with 4×4 (Longitude and Longitude Plus are 4×2 only), and all variants can be had with either a six-speed manual or a nine-speed torque converter automatic gearbox except for the Overland, which is automatic-only.
