Why Jeep Compass petrol has such a low average of just 5/6 km per litre?

Question

Vikhyat Rao · Accepted Answer

Harrier is a good product. no doubt. on the average part I'm totally with you, jeep is a gas guzzler. but dude what are you comparing. mg and kia with a jeep. tell me if a mg or kia is safe as a jeep. the metal that jp provides is very strong. take mg and Kia offroading, it won't be near to a jeep. comparing a harrier and a jeep, I can agree. but a mg and kia with jeep. lol

I have found that if I drive very short distances (2-3 ķm), my Compass petrol automatic delivers only about 5 kmpl. However if the distance is more than 10 km, the value climbs to 8 kmpl if there traffic is not too heavy with too many stop starts. Being an SUV, fuel efficiency is quite sensitive to variable speeds.

I did a highway drive from Chennai to the hills in yercaud on my 1.4 petrol ddct compass 2022 model. Initially on the highway, with driving between 1500 to 2300 RPM the avg readings were 13 kmpl but after the climb it dropped to 10.5. With the tank full method I see that I got 10.3 which is not bad for a heavy suv like this given that climbs would have used a lot of engine power and the car was loaded. I agree with other users, short rides in the city and idle engines are a killer for the Jeep as it guzzles gas on those. Longer rides at constant RPM gives better gas milage. @abhishek I don’t think it’s fair to compare a Kia or MG with Jeep. Both are a segment below and are of cheap build quality. Proof is in the crash test ratings they have got which is below 3 star. Many smaller Tata cars scored more. So your comparison is incorrect.

This tell how good products hector and harrier are with the same engine they give 14-15 in city and 20-22 on highways and compass is now at the end of its life , just a suggestion compass will get 14-16 lacs on the used car market , sell it and go for either hector or harrier or even seltos !

Hay I I have used Jeep compass for few days of my brother in law. comfort in long drive for rare seat passenger is good.I have driven Manuel compass I didn't find that clutch and gear shifting is soomther than creta. mileage is not that great of jeep compass disel as I tried to drive card very smoothly but some how I couldn't be able to go beyond 11.So overall fuel economy is not great of that car. Very disappointed by the driving comfort and fuel economy.Rest family enjoyed music system and comfort .

Pratik Zad · Answer

There is no comparison between the harrier and jeep.. as they both lies in two different segments jeep comes with the premium touch and finish and we can see the fit and finish of the harrier is not comparable to the jeep compass even the build quality and engine noise is not that silent compare to keep in the harrier....jeep as his own indentity since 1941 so it's acceptable that no other brand from the segment will be comparable to jeep compass

Its like comparing iphone with samsung Comparatively Iphones are more costiler than samsung phone. Likewise Jeep is an american company's, so obviously it's brand name makes it a world famous brand. Its true most of the android phones providers more features than an iphone. But the product quality and brand value is incomparable. We must appreciate jeep for building a vehicle budget friendly.

Shubhrant Sinha · Answer

This is the dumbest response ever. Suggest you understand the difference between premium n economy between quality and value for money. because the way you think even mg n harriers are not good for you stick to a maruti wagon r.

Akshay Mhatre · Answer

Totally agree with Vikhyat..Also discussion started with Compass petrol engine which is not common in MG or Harrier…even Harrier is comes with only Diesel engine. Compass provides better power and mileage with excellent build quality.

I own a 2018 Jeep compass petrol automatic and am very happy with it. The highway average mileage is normally around 15.5 km. However, on better days' with less of traffic have managed 17 as well. I normally drive around 90 km per hour speed. The jeep just hugs the road, very smooth drive.
