The Trailhawk variant will be the priciest Compass on sale in India, with prices likely to cross the Rs. 25 lakh mark. This will make the Trailhawk variant a niche product mainly for those who like going off the road. The engine of this variant will be the 2 liter turbocharged diesel with 170 Bhp of peak power and 350 Nm of peak torque.
The Compass sold in India is also available with a 1.4 liter turbocharged petrol engine that produces 160 Bhp of peak power and 250 Nm of peak torque. The Compass Petrol gets 6 speed manual and 7 speed twin clutch automatic gearbox option, but is front wheel drive-only.
