Spy Shots Of The Jeep Compass Expose Cabin And Variant Details
Highlights
It was on the 12th of April that the Jeep Compass was exposed and we’ve told you all about it, right from the dimensions of the car to the engine specifications and of course the launch plans for the car. Make no mistake, the Compass SUV is an enormously significant car for Jeep in India and we know fairly a bit already and have told you all about it. In fact, we have also exclusively driven the Jeep Compass to reaction most of your concerns, and boy, it does look promising.
Launched originally in November 2016, the Compass will be the very first Jeep to be made in India and will in fact act as a kicking off point for more vehicles to be manufactured at the company’s Ranjangaon plant. Jeep has to yet officially launch the car in India but we got a peek of it recently. The Jeep Compass SUV should be priced at under Rs twenty lakh in India will take on a slew of cars ranging from the Hyundai Creta, Mahindra XUV500 and the Tata Hexa on the lower end of its price point and the likes of the Hyundai Tucson too.
The Compass will be the very first Jeep to be Made in India
While we’ve already told you that Jeep is extensively testing the Compass in India, these two test mules that we photographed gave us some extra information which was not provided when the car was showcased recently. The variants caught testing here are Longitude and Limited and we are expecting a base variant Sport to join this brigade. The US-spec car comes with the Sport, Longitude, Latitude and TrailHawk variant, while the Brazilian line-up consists of Sport, Longitude, Limited and TrailHawk. The Limited will be the top-of-the-line variant while the Longitude will most likely be the mid-variant on suggest.
Jeep Compass cabin gets a 8.8 inch touchscreen infotainment system
One look at the cabin and you see the giant difference in both variants. While the Limited variant carries what looks like an 8.8 inch touchscreen infotainment system, the Longitude trim gets a smaller screen which doesn’t exactly look like a touchscreen; rather the system looks similar to that on the Renegade.
As we’ve told you earlier, the Jeep Compass features two engine options – the 1.Four litre petrol and the two litre diesel, but the one caught testing here was the Two.0 litre 4-cylinder turbocharged motor which will produce over one hundred seventy bhp and three hundred fifty Nm of peak torque and will very likely be the popular choice. Both cars which were being tested came with the 6-speed manual transmission and the Longitude was a 4×2 front wheel drive version while the Limited trim was an AWD. It’s the Limited trim that will get Jeep’s terrain response system which has driving modes that include Snow, Sand and Rock options.
The Jeep Compass will be launched in August two thousand seventeen but the production of the car will begin from June this year. In fact the company will be exporting the Compass to right arm drive markets like UK, South Africa, Japan among others.
