In Harrier- Safari people want 4×4 auto, In Compass people want 4×2 auto🤔
I think jeep should have included ADAS and Auto park which international variants get. Also, they should bring back petrol or Hybrid. As an owner of Compass, I can vouch for this car. I have done 30K kms in 2 years mostly long stretches and not even a slight problem. Drive and handling is excellent and comparable to beemers!
How is diesel engine compared to petrol !! Does it makes lot of noise
Agreed...i did test drive the jeep wonderful car with great build quality, interior finishing with soft plastics, and drive quality..built to last for long time and amazing road grip/stability. Your family will feel safe to travel in this car which crash test results have also proved.Better then expected drive. No wonder people all over world are fans of jeep. Good with new 4*2 version for those who dont want 4*4. Good size and easy to navigate in city traffic , parking and highway stability. Perhaps jeep should launch Compass with new petrol engine also soon..true SUV and much better than some of so called softroaders suv or other cars marketed by some companies as SUV to attract buyers..jeep is true SUV the legend!
American suvs always unique road presence..jeep is looking good..We missed american cars like Ford and GM...they are unique in tough build and road presence with better driving experience...unlike todays flimsy and flashy cars
Is it the same 2.0L168hp kryotec Fiat engine we see in Harrier & Safari?
Brought MT last month, good for highway and for city newly launched AT is better choice!!
I have bought this beast recently & drove more than 500km on highway & it’s super there are very minor lags & I think that is what I like more as it’s confident but not over confident & can show it’s tail light to many whenever it feels like great driving dynamics gives great confidence on road solid built quality. Only thing is the body paint finish is not checked properly from the factory so I suggest one should get a professional PDI before taking delivery. However its drive quality will never upset you.
Finally a review I have been waiting for… however a more detailed video would have been appreciated.
Nice move by jeep-India bringing in the 4*2 auto transmission. Should have brought in the petrol engine too giving customers more options.
If thts the fuel efficiency difference….4*4 all the way
Makes sense 😊
Sick watch bro!
Should have introduced 4x2 auto in compass when they launched MERIDIAN 4x2 auto
Why the fack do we call it a 4x2? It's just a FWD!
No ADAS?
The interior black makes it look smaller.
This is the variant that Jeep should have launched first many years ago. Goes on to show how misread Jeep is about Indian market needs
Pls address DP Filter issues with this new BS6-2 versions of Jeep Compass!!! Is its a concern for only city riders?????😢
you just need to keep driving when DPF regen is happening. it is about 8-10 minutes. No issues faced till now in 2 years.
Is this the new more serious Gavin?
Should have had paddle shifters considering 9 speed...
Should have been at least a RWD.
I am not sure how people are comparing Compass with others. With a ZF 9HP TC gearbox, Koni FSD suspension, Zinc coted GI steel body, etc. I think just because LandRover Evoque has a 2L engine and produce same output, wondering how they would compare value for money for 80 Lakhs. Few can mimic, but only a true engineering RND will solve purpose. Next they would start comparing Rubicon with Thar I think. 😂
I think india needs a petrol ⛽️ engine not diesel, due to emission norms and future value proposition , it's a deal breaker.
What percentage of petrol variants of such cars(existing) sold in India?
We need diesel
They’re coming next year. TATA as well.
Is it a 9 speed torque converter
Yes
The auto transmission is still way expensive even after removing the 4x4 option. Only the manual sport variant is priced under 25 lacs that too with literally no features.. Compass is better than harrier but harrier is a bigger & no complaints as in comfort & drive , mid variant harrier auto transmission that costs 25 lacs is a way better option than compass manual base variant that costs the same.
No paddle shifters?
Its incomparable to other cars in price range, jeep is a premium car, a category above
Everyone needs 4x4 manual with differential lock, not the opposite.
No car can match a Jeep
4×4 is very overhyped..
As usual Jeep is giving us Indians an outdated engine and transmission. The American version now has a 200 bhp engine mated to a 8 speed transmission which is much more powerful than the 170 bhp 9 speed one we get.
Still it is expensive
Harrier/safari over this anyday, same engine , 5star build quality and much better sales and service network. 28L for this is just nuts!
Still this is pricey compare to the other options available in the country. Our brands like Tata and Mahindra are providing fully loaded vehicles for 25 lakhs and Jeep don’t have anything special to match when the average use of a new car is for 7-10 years.
You cannot get tata and mahindra in this segment fully loaded for 25 lakhs
It's too expensive...!
People need to understand in 20.49 lac price tag
There is 40% tax included which is not there in international market
Out of this 20.49 lac company is getting 12_13 lacs only
I feel jeep just because it’s jeep has become too over priced and that’s why sales has slumped. People want bang for the buck thus are ok with a mahindra or tata at 30% lesser price and better space and features…
First
Who wants this 😂😂we want 4×4 petrol
Nobody cares what you think you want 😂
that means you have no idea about the differences between petrol and diesel cars. Diesel is true love.
Why jeep is failing in India ? God knows
Lol ... I'll probably stop driving before if want a 2 wheel drive SuV
Poor strategy by Jeep. Give indian consumers a product like Scorpio N..
Naah... All we need is a no bull shit 4x4 , around 10 lakh Rs...
Jeep is going down a bad path now. They are trying to sell the wrong thing - the compass is targeted at people eyeing top end mid size SUVs and offers the American ride and handling- something no other brand has in the market now.
Jeep could try a few things like
1. Stop hiking prices of the top models (people always want them but will definitely buy a Tucson or Tiguan at current prices)
2. Give people service packages and extended warranty’s- 6-7 yrs EW and say a 60-80k 4 yr service package with alignment
3. Let people experience the jeep ride - some events might help
At the end of the day, when people buy an American car, they expect Fords level of service and not Tata niggles + German prices
Its a flop product by jeep like meridian & cherookee
I'd rather buy a TATA or a Mahindra & save money on the import tax by buying made in India. I personally don't think this car is worth 25 Lakhs
