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.
