After a global debut in China back in November 2020, Jeep has finally revealed the mid-life refresh of the Compass SUV in India. It gets a refreshed exterior, redesigned interior as well as more tech on offer. Pre-bookings have already commenced.  

The biggest cosmetic changes on the new Compass are up front with a fresh set of LED headlamps combined with LED DRLs as well as a more muscular bumper featuring LED fog lamps. The rest of the SUV looks relatively unchanged, aside from an updated lighting configuration for the tail lamps

Heading inside, the cabin gets the biggest makeover with a sleek accent running along the dashboard and another accent around the lower half of the dashboard for a premium feel. It’ll be offered with dual-tone and full-black combinations in leather and fabric upholstery, depending on the trim and variant.
