Jeep Meridian Gets Bigger Diesel Engine Overseas, Delivers More Mileage
Jeep has been working on expanding its market on the global front. Recently the American auto major unveiled the 2025 iteration of the Compass and Compass EV. Now, Jeep has brought a new update to its existing lineup. The brand has introduced a new 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine for the Jeep Meridian. Till now, Jeep has been tight lipped about its arrival in India and the update is restricted for the Brazilian market.
Stellantis has now equipped a new 2.2-liter diesel engine in the Jeep Meridian. The power unit is capable of delivering 200 hp and 450 Nm. The new engine works in conjunction with the 9-speed automatic transmission unit and has an all-wheel drive system.
The new engine has significantly increased the power output, as the older engine delivered 170 hp and 380 Nm of torque. Also, it is now capable of shooting from 0-100 km in just 9.7-seconds. The more powerful engine has improved the fuel efficiency of the Jeep Meridian as it now claims a mileage of 15.5 km/l, while the older Meridian claimed 13.4 km/l of mileage.
While the updated Jeep Meridian retains the same design and features, it now gets a new exhaust system with ARLA 32 type emission reduction tech, the brake discs are now bigger to enhance the improved power output.
The brand is tightlipped about the launch of the Jeep Meridian in India. However, it is likely to make its way to the Indian market post its launch in other global markets. Also, the entry of the new engine will increase the prices of the Jeep Meridian. Currently, the Jeep Meridian is available at a starting price of Rs 24.99 lakh (ex-showroom).

FedEx founder Fred Smith, a Marine Corps veteran who revolutionised package delivery, dies at 80
MEMPHIS: Fred Smith, the FedEx Corp. founder who revolutionised the express delivery industry, has died, the company said. He was 80. FedEx started operating in 1973, delivering small parcels and documents more quickly than the postal service. Over the next half-century, Smith, a Marine Corps veteran, oversaw the growth of a company that became something of an economic bellwether because so many other companies rely on it. Memphis, Tennessee-based FedEx became a global transportation and logistics company that averages 17 million shipments per business day. Smith stepped down as CEO in 2022 but remained executive chairman. Smith, a 1966 graduate of Yale University, used a business theory he came up with in college to create a delivery system based on coordinated air cargo flights centered on a main hub, a "hub and spokes" system, as it became known. The company also played a major role in the shift by American business and industry to a greater use of time-sensitive deliveries and less dependence on large inventories and warehouses. Smith once told The Associated Press that he came up with the name Federal Express because he wanted the company to sound big and important when in fact it was a start-up operation with a future far from assured.
