Longitude AT Price and Specs, Jeep Meridian

This is the base Longitude fitted with an automatic gearbox in place of the manual. The 2.0 litre diesel still makes 168 bhp and 350 Nm and drives the front wheels, seating seven. Adding the automatic lifts the price to ₹27.53 lakh over the manual Longitude.

You get the same core Meridian package: front wheel drive, three rows of seats and now the ease of two pedals. Claimed mileage dips a little to 16.0 kmpl, against 16.2 kmpl for the manual version. Since this data does not spell out the kit, confirm the included features when you enquire about the on-road price.

Go for the Longitude AT if you want the cheapest self-shifting Meridian for stop-start city driving. An automatic is far less tiring than a manual in heavy traffic, and this is the lowest-priced way to get one. If you want more equipment alongside the automatic, the Longitude Plus AT is the next step.
