New Delhi: Made-in-India Jeep Compass Trailhawk All-wheel Drive (AWD) SUV has been launched in India. It is priced at ₹ 26.8 lakh (Ex-Showroom, all-India) in a single variant.
The Jeep Compass has been a game changer for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) Group in India. While it has spearheaded the brand’s survival in the market; it is also considered a rival of Hyundai Tucson (4X4 AT).
The latest launch is an off-road oriented version of the Compass with higher ground clearance, diesel AT and Active Drive 4X4 technology.
The Jeep Compass is powered by a 2.0-litre, 170 HP, 350 Nm turbodiesel engine with additional technology that makes it fully BS VI compliant nearly one year before the norms become effective. It also makes it capable to run even on BS IV diesel, until BS VI diesel is widely available in the country. The engine is powered to an all-new 9-speed automatic transmission.
The Trailhawk gets new features like Jeep Active Drive 4×4 Low, Engine Stop / Start, Advanced Cruise Control, Built-in Navigation, Hill Descent Control (HDC), Jeep Active Drive 4×4 Low and ‘Rock Mode’ terrain selection.
The Trailhawk Compass comes with an anti-glare decal on the hood which ensures the sun does not hamper the driver’s visibility while traversing off-road. Its front bumpers are redesigned, making it more capable in off-roading conditions.
