Jeep Compass Specifications

About Compass Specs and Features

Jeep Compass price starts at Rs.15.60 lakh (Ex-Showroom, Delhi) and the top end variant Jeep Compass 2.0 Limited Plus 4X4 is priced at Rs. 23.11 lakh (Ex-Showroom, Delhi). If you’re buying the Compass, you get to choose between two engine options - a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine and a 2.0-litre diesel. With the petrol, you get the choice of a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 7-speed dual clutch automatic. While 163PS and 250Nm is plenty for the SUV (0-100 comes up in 9.99 sec), the engine has a bit of a drinking problem. The petrol-auto we had on test returned an eye-watering 6.1kmpl inside the city, and a marginally better 8.5kmpl on the highway. We also tested the diesel-manual (4x4) that makes 173PS of power and 350Nm of torque. This variant was a whole lot more efficient, delivering 11.07kmpl inside the city and 16.02kmpl on the highway. It was just as quick as the petrol-auto, taking 10.03 sec to reach 100kmph. Notably, there’s no diesel automatic variant yet. But that’s set to change in the next few months with the Compass Trailhawk, which should bring with it a 9-speed automatic.
