Jeep Cars

Jeep began its Indian innings under the FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) group in 2016 when it launched the Wrangler Unlimited, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT. All three were brought in as CBU (completely built-up units) and featured substantially premium price tags. Since that put the Jeep badge out of reach for many buyers, the iconic American SUV maker decided to make itself more accessible with the launch of the made-in-India Compass in 2017. The Jeep Compass is being manufactured at FCA India’s Ranjangaon facility which exports the same to several right-hand drive markets as well. The Jeep Compass got off to a dream start, taking on mid-size SUVs like the Mahindra XUV500 and the Hyundai Tucson. In mid-2019, Jeep India introduced the most off-road centric version of the Compass, the Trailhawk, with a BS6-compliant diesel engine. While the Compass is a 5-seater, Jeep will launch a made-in-India 7-seater SUV in a couple of years which will aim right at the Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour. Jeep India currently has 90 dealerships across India.
