Gearbox Type: 9-Speed Automatic (Torque Converter)
The Meridian features a ZF-sourced 9-speed automatic transmission in its top trims. This gearbox is notable for its high number of ratios, which allows the engine to sit at very low RPMs during highway cruising (approx. 1,500 RPM at 100 km/h), maximizing fuel economy.
Drive Type: 4WD (Jeep Active Drive)
The 4x4 variant uses Jeep's Active Drive system with a fully disconnecting rear axle. This allows the vehicle to operate as a fuel-efficient FWD on dry pavement and automatically engage 4WD within milliseconds when wheel slip is detected.
