June 1, 2017: Production of Jeep Compass has started in India. Jeep has revealed that the Compass will be launched in India in three variants - Sport, Longitude and Limited. Another development around the Compass SUV is that it will launch in India in third quarter of 2017, which means somewhere between July and September. Jeep has already announced that the Compass will be exported to other right-hand drive markets. It will get a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine and a 2.0-litre diesel engine. The two powertrains make 162PS and 170PS of power and 250Nm and 350Nm of torque, respectively. Transmission options will include a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. Only the diesel engine will get a four-wheel drive system, which will be available with a manual transmission only. The Compass is expected to carry a price tag of Rs 23-30 lakh, allowing it to grab some share from the Hyundai Tucson and the Honda CR-V while also eating into the entry-level luxury SUV space.
