The Made-In-India SUV is produced at the company’s Ranjangoan facility and is also the first locally manufactured Jeep model in India. The SUV is available in three variants – Sport, Longitude and Limited. The Longitude trim is available only with the diesel motor.
The compass SUV gets a blend of athletic styling with sweeping curves. The sloping roofline and powerful wings create a stunning profile that speaks volumes about the sculpted design aesthetic. The Compass looks like a junior Grand Cherokee.
It features the seven-slot grille which pays homage to Jeep‘s proud history, squared wheel arches, Body-colour exterior mirrors with chrome accents and integrated side signal, distinctive LED daytime running lamps and wraparound rear tail lamps.
