‘Jeep Meridian is an ideal mix of adventure and sophistication that will be evidenced with many segment-first features and its refined abilities both on and off road,’ said Mr Joju Jose Thattil, CEO of MAW Life, ‘Even if the auto industry is slower compared to last couple of years, we are happy that we could maintain the momentum of sales of Jeep SUVs in Nepal. Instead of the impact of economic adversity in the auto sector in the first quarter of this fiscal year, we have achieved our sales target.’
