Three variants in 4×2 as well as 4×4 options

The Compass SUV is being offered with two powertrain options – the 160+ HP, 250 Nm Multi-air petrol and the 170+ HP, 350 Nm, Diesel. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual transmission (Petrol and Diesel) and the 7-speed Dual Dry Clutch Technology Automatic or DDCT (Petrol).

These shock absorbers use a special valve inside to enable an optimal ride at both high and low frequencies. Jeep  will offer the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) across the range and comes in four modes.

The Jeep Compass will be one of the safest SUVs on Indian roads with over 50 safety features like Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Dynamic Steering Torque (DST), Hill Start Assist (HSA), Adaptive Brake Lights, Panic Brake Assist and many more such features as standard across the range. The Compass Limited 4×4 will be equipped with six airbags with dual stage passenger airbags.
