It also gets an all-black interior with Mayan Gold accents that run across the dashboard, gold stitching on the leatherette seats and the centre console as well, elevating the premium quotient of the SUV.
Available as an optional add-on accessory, it features ambient lighting for the cabin, which is placed on the dashboard as well as the panoramic sunroof. It also features sunroof illumination with a diamond-like pattern on it. In safety terms, this limited edition features equipment such as a digital IRVM with front and rear dashcams, adding to the decently equipped Compass.

CarDekho Says….
As the Jeep Compass SUV is now out of trend in terms of the features being offered, this special limited-run 85th Anniversary Edition of the Compass does add fresh new life to it.
The Anniversary Edition adds multiple new design elements such as anniversary badges on the doors, gold accents on the all-black interior, as well as new equipment to the SUV.
The Compass SUV continues to be powered by the 2-litre diesel engine and is one of the capable off-roader SUVs in its segment. While this special edition injects a fresh breath of life into the model, what the Compass truly requires is a full next-generation overhaul.
