Jeep launches Compass SUV in India

The all-new Jeep Compass SUV has been finally launched in India . The Compass SUV is Jeep’s least expensive offering in the country, which is thanks to the model being locally produced at Fiat’s Ranjangaon facility.

The all-new Jeep Compass SUV will be offered in a total of three variants – Sport, Longitude and Limited, and will be available in both petrol and diesel engine options. Set to take on some very popular selling models.

The Jeep Compass shares its underpinnings with the Renegade, while the styling has been heavily borrowed from the premium Grand Cherokee SUV. The butch styling and iconic Jeep design is very much place and the SUV is extremely likeable to all. What does impress the most is the trademark Jeep grille, accentuated wheel arches and the LED treatment.

The SUV sports projector headlamps, LED DRLs and LED headlamps, while the rear is finished with LED tail lights. The well designed alloy wheels look impressive and the paint options comprising five colours allows for a youthful appearance on the SUV. That said, the Compass is available in the shades of Minimal Grey, Exotica Red, Hydro Blue, Vocal White and Hip Hop Black.

Power on the Jeep Compass SUV comes from two engine options. For petrol duties, there is a new 1.4-litre Multi-Air Turbo motor that makes 160 bhp of power and 250 Nm of peak torque, paired to a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed DCT automatic.

Diesel power comes from the 2-litre Multijet oil burner tuned for 170 bhp and 350 Nm of peak torque, and is paired to only a 6-speed manual for now. This will be followed by the launch of the automatic trim later in the timeline. While the petrol motor will be available in only the 2WD guise, diesel will be offered in both 2WD and 4WD options. Both engines, Jeep says are scalable to BS-VI emission norms, making it future ready.

Jeep India is offering 3 years/100,000 km warranty on the Compass. There is also FCA’s Mopar care with 3 year complimentary 24×7 Roadside Assistance. The service interval is at 15,000/1 year.

Price starts from ? 14.95 to ? 20.65 lakh.
