Q. Do you really feel that Jeep Compass S model is fairly priced at 34 lakhs on road? Is it worth spending 34 lakhs on it? Because I am interested in the car but I feel the company should have kept the top end variant at max 30 lakhs on road, do you really think it is that much worth, adding a little money would get me a Fortuner/ Endeavour.
  • Compass delivers on critical fronts like handling, off-road ability, and stunning design. However, you do pay a premium for the extra off-road ability.The Compass S variant is a fully loaded variant that adds in a 360-degree camera, wireless charging a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, ventilated front seats, a 9-speaker Alpine audio system, ambient foot lighting, powered electric seats for co-passenger, black leather upholstery and LED projectors.

Q. In Jeep Compass, petrol is best or diesel in manual?
  • Selecting the right fuel type depends on your utility and the average running of the car. If you drive less than 50km in a day then we recommend you to go with a petrol car as they are easy to maintain, have a longer life span and they cost less initially than the diesel car. On the other hand, diesel cars are preferred if the average daily run is more than 50km which makes it a feasible purchase. Diesel cars are more fuel-efficient and provide more torque, therefore, are preferred for a person who drives more than 50km. Whereas, petrol engine has a low service cost, more life span, generally have a well-controlled NVH level and are cheaper in cost than the diesel engines. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
