New Jeep Compass Prices announced: Launched at Rs 16.99 lakh

The brand new Jeep Compass brings in a gently tweaked styling but offers a brand new interior with a lot of new cool tech and features. It has been launched in India and it will rival the Tata Harrier and Hyundai Tucson.

The 2021 Jeep Compass has finally been launched in India. The facelift model was showcased recently for the international market. But, it was immediately introduced in India as well. This is because the FCA’s plant in India is responsible for meeting all of the global demand for the right-hand drive Compass SUV. Jeep has launched the new Compass in a price range between Rs 16.99 lakh and Rs 24.49 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) which allows it a large bandwidth. Like before it will be offered with the same turbo petrol and turbo diesel engines with manual and automatic transmission options.

2021 Jeep Compass Exterior Styling Changes

The new Compass has been given a minor revision to its exterior look. The Jeep signature 7-slot grille has been made flush and features the front camera for this new 360-degree camera. The revised front bumper now features inlets for the cooling vents for the engine. The vehicle sits on a new set of diamond-cut alloy wheels and there is a new range of paint options to choose from with dual-tone schemes as well, like before. The rear, however, has seen no change that needs to be reported, but the rear boot lid is now a powered tailgate which is nice.

Buts it’s the interior which has received the most amount of love. The entire cabin is brand new and comes loaded with features.

Storage space in the cabin has been paid close attention to and is littered in more places in the cabin. It also features a wireless smartphone charger, a panoramic sunroof, electric adjustable & ventilated front seats, cruise control and the aforementioned 360-degree parking camera and the powered tailgate. However, based on variants, the Compass will be offered with dual-tone and all-black combinations in leather and fabric upholstery
