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.

Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder in short

The Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder brought strong-hybrid technology to the mainstream midsize SUV segment, delivering diesel-beating efficiency of nearly 28 km/l without a plug. Co-developed with Maruti, it shares its platform with the Grand Vitara but wears distinct Toyota styling. Against the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and Honda Elevate, its self-charging hybrid powertrain and optional AWD remain unique selling points.
