Aug 09, 2017: The prices for the Jeep Compass start from Rs 14.95 lakh and go up to Rs 20.65 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). However, in the recently held GST Council meeting, an increase in tax rates of SUVs and luxury cars has been suggested and the Compass might be one of the cars that will fall within the new cess slab. That would mean an increase in prices of the new Jeep SUV. Tap to know more about that here. To see how the Jeep Compass fares on Indian roads and off-road, take a look at the video review.
The Jeep Compass was launched on July 31, 2017 and it's the brand's most affordable offering till date. The Jeep Compass bags the title of being the first product from the American carmaker that is made in India. It will also be exported from India to all the right-hand drive markets across the globe.
Given its aggressive pricing, the Jeep Compass rivals a wide range of cars. It comes across as a premium alternative to 7-seater crossovers/SUVs like the Tata Hexa and Mahindra XUV500, while also coming close to the top-spec Hyundai Creta. Additionally, it undercuts the Hyundai Tucson on the price chart and is considerably cheaper than the VW Tiguan or body-on-frame SUVs like the Ford Endeavour and Toyota Fortuner.
The Compass is currently available in 3 petrol and 5 diesel variants. While the petrol is only available in the base ‘Sport’ grade and the top-spec ‘Limited/Limited (O)’ variants, the diesel can be bought in the Sport, Longitude/Longitude (O) and Limited/Limited (O) variants.
Everything about the Jeep Compass is brand new, including the engines. While the petrol uses a 1.4-litre ‘Multiair’ turbo-petrol engine (162PS/250Nm), the diesel gets the 2.0-litre ‘Multijet II’ engine that produces 173PS/350Nm. Both engines get a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard but only the top-end petrol model is offered exclusively with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The diesel is expected to get a 9-speed automatic variant in 2018. However, the option of 4x4 is exclusive to the top-end diesel variant. While the petrol Jeep Compass' mileage numbers have not been revealed, the diesel delivers a claimed mileage of 17.1kmpl and 16.3kmpl for the 4x2 and 4x4 variants respectively.
The Jeep Compass may be Jeep’s most affordable model but it certainly isn’t lacking in equipment. To begin with, dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, traction control, ESP and ISOFIX child seat mounts are offered right from the base variant. In fact, the top-spec model gets 6 airbags. Move up the variant range and the Jeep Compass gets features like dual-zone climate control, a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment display which is mated to a 6-speaker sound system and supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, push button start/stop and reverse parking sensors with a camera.
The Jeep Compass is available in five colour options for the body - Hydro Blue, Exotica Red, Brilliant Black, Vocal White and Minimal Grey. The top-end Limited (O) variant gets a contrast coloured roof, making it easier to identify.

We drove Jeep India's entry-level SUV offering, the Compass, in Goa and it looks to be a potential game changer in the segment. Here's why
The Jeep Compass is the carmaker’s first made-in-India product and one that could potentially do some serious damage to its rivals - the list reads long right from the Mahindra XUV5OO, Tata Hexa, Hyundai Tucson, Toyota Fortuner and more..And that’s largely down to the Jeep Compass’ shock pricing of Rs 14.95 lakh for the base petrol model!
Affordability has surely helped bring Jeep’s legacy to the masses who are always hungry for more premium SUVs. But fantastic pricing aside, is the Jeep Compass any good? Here’s our first impressions of what the Compass is all about having driven the SUV over two days in Goa We drove the top-of-the-line Compass ‘Limited’ variant powered by a 2.0-litre, turbo-diesel engine, with a 6-speed manual transmission and an intelligent all-wheel-drive (AWD) system.
High-intensity discharge (HID) bi-xenon headlamps offer powerful illumination. Particularly useful for trail/highway driving.
The Jeep Compass offers the shift-on-the-fly 'SelecTerrain' 4x4 system with 4 selectable terrain modes.
Premium dual-tone interior is available with leather upholstery.
It is difficult to come to a definitive conclusion about the Jeep Compass based on a short drive. Jeep has priced the Compass rather competitively with prices ranging from 14.95 lakh to Rs 20.65 lakh - much more competitively than we had anticipated earlier. It comes across as a value-for-money product as compared to its direct rival, the Hyundai Tucson, which is priced from Rs 18.13 lakh to Rs 23.86 lakh and is only available with 4x2 petrol and diesel variants. At that price, it not only undercuts the Hyundai Tucson comfortably but also falls in the range of top-variants of SUVs like XUV5OO & Hexa. While these may offer some features that the Compass skimps on (a sunroof, for example, which the XUV500 gets) they cannot match the brand value that the compact Jeep offers.
"It comes across as a value-for-money product as compared to its direct rival, the Hyundai Tucson."
Initial impressions are encouraging; it looks tough but also welcoming, has a very comfortable and spacious cabin, feels premium with the features on offer, is surprisingly good to drive and is practical too. There are some bits of the Compass which could have been done better (the dummy buttons on the steering wheel especially), but customers may choose to ignore these because of the premium badge feeling of the SUV. Jeep has small sales and after-sales network in India as of now, which is spread across 50 cities - for those who follow their head rather than their heart, this will be a big deciding factor.

These would have definitely made it a no-brainer
Is the entry-level Jeep Compass more attractive than the top-spec Hyundai Creta manual?
Jeep is certainly giving sleepless nights not only to the Compass’ direct rivals, but also to a whole lot of SUVs falling in its price band!
