Jeep launched in the Indian market with its highly-acclaimed global products like the Grand Cherokee and Wrangler SUVs. However, the one SUV which made the American brand a household name in India is the very popular Compass. The Jeep Compass arrived in India in 2017, and since then, has remained the mainstay of Jeep in India.
The Jeep Compass debuted in India with two four-cylinder engine options – a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine and a 2.0-litre diesel engine. The petrol engine here develops 163 PS of power and 250 Nm of torque, while the diesel engine makes 170 PS of power and 350 Nm of torque. The diesel engine, which debuted in the Compass, started being shared by SUVs from other carmakers, like Tata Motors’ Harrier and Safari and MG’s Hector and Hector Plus.

Both these engines came standard with a 6-speed manual gearbox. While an optional 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox was available with the petrol engine right from the start, a 9-speed automatic gearbox was later made available in the four-wheel-drive versions of diesel-powered variants.
Jeeps are always known for their road presence, rugged drivability and tough build quality, and thankfully, all these attributes came in the Compass in unadulterated form. The Compass is easily one of the most well-built and fun-to-drive SUVs in its segment. Due to the sheer excellence in these attributes, it is more expensive than its direct rivals, despite being slightly smaller in size when compared to them.
While the Jeep Compass is a very capable SUV on a whole, it has its fair share of shortcomings. Compared to its direct rivals, the Jeep Compass suffers from a limited sales and service network. It is smaller in size compared to all of its rivals, which has led to compromised space levels for the rear seat passengers. Also, the ownership costs of the Compass are higher than its rivals – while the petrol engine suffers from poor fuel efficiency, the diesel-powered variants are expensive when it comes to maintenance costs.
Despite its notable kinks and the arrival of fresher competitors, the Jeep Compass still soldiers on strongly as a top pick among driving enthusiasts. It is the reason why it still commands a decent reputation in the used car market. Here are some of our top samples of Jeep Compass which are available in the following chief cities of India.
