Starting January 1, 2025, Stellantis will raise prices across its entire Jeep and Citroen model range by up to 2%, depending on the variant. The price increase is being introduced to offset the rising costs of production and raw materials, ensuring the brands’ operations remain sustainable amidst industry challenges.

In October, Jeep India launched the 2025 Jeep Meridian in India, introducing four new trims: Longitude, Longitude Plus, Limited (O), and Overland.
