As the case with most new cars, the brochure of the upcoming Jeep Compass has been leaked ahead of its launch. Also, the online configurator on Jeep India website is expected to be live in the coming week. However, as we already know the features offered in different variants, let's have a look at them.
Highlights
The Compass is available in three trims – Sport (base), Longitude and the range-topping Limited that we had the chance to experience in Goa recently. Read our First Drive Review to know more about the Compass. There are two more optional trims as well based on the top-two variants – Longitude (O) and Limited (O)
The 1.4-litre MultiAir II turbocharged petrol engine is only available with the base Sport and top-spec Limited trims
The base petrol Sport trim can only be had with a 6-speed manual transmission, while as we all know, the diesel doesn’t offer an automatic option as of yet. Although, the diesel auto (9-speed auto) will be launched early next year
Unlike its international version, the India-spec Compass doesn’t get any fancy frills, which indicate that the Compass could be priced very aggressively. We are expecting its prices to start in the vicinity of Rs 18 lakh, undercutting the entire segment!
Only the diesel powered Compass gets the 4x4 option
