Jeep Compass in short
The Compass is Jeep India's volume model — launched in 2017, comprehensively facelifted in 2021, and now a diesel-only range after the petrol was dropped. Every one of its 13 variants uses the 170 PS/350 Nm 2.0 Multijet diesel with a 6-speed manual or 9-speed automatic, with proper 4x4 on the top Model S and Track automatics. Its European-grade body rigidity (5-star ANCAP/Euro NCAP result in 2017 testing) and polished ride-handling balance keep it credible against the Hyundai Tucson and top-end Creta/Seltos trims, even as the platform ages.

The MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV is India's first mainstream three-row plug-in hybrid: a 1.5L petrol engine plus a 20.5 kWh battery for 303 PS combined, 115 km of electric-only running and a claimed 1,100 km total range. At ₹25.70–27.80 lakh it costs SUV-flagship money, but for daily commutes it can run as a pure EV and still road-trip without charging anxiety.
