Jeep Cars

From the XJ Cherokee to the new Wrangler, Jeeps are known for one thing -- their off-roading capability. Jeep’s India lineup consists of the Compass, Cherokee, and Wrangler SUVs. While the Cherokee and Wrangler’s lofty pricing keeps them inaccessible to many off-roading enthusiasts, the Compass does offer a Trailhawk variant. But can a Jeep be more affordable in India? While the Renegade is unlikely to reach our shores anytime soon, Jeep seems to be working on a sub-4m offering for India, a playmate for the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Jimny and 2020 Mahindra Thar. It is slated for 2021 but we could get a glimpse of it this year. The 2020 Wrangler will also make it to India this year, followed by the sub-4m SUV and a 7-seater Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace rival. With models such as these, Jeep will have a range of sub-4m, mid-size, and full-size SUVs to complement the Cherokee and Wrangler. Meanwhile, the carmaker has updated the Compass to BS6, so Jeep’s torchbearer for India will continue to thrive.
