Jeep Compass: Overview

The Jeep Compass is a compact premium SUV known for its off-road capabilities, modern styling, and premium features. First launched in India on January 27, 2021, the Compass has received multiple updates over time, including new variants and technology enhancements to remain competitive in its segment. Most recently, Jeep India introduced the Trail Edition based on the Longitude (O) trim with visual upgrades. The Compass is offered exclusively with a diesel engine, available with both 2WD and 4WD options, making it suitable for urban as well as off-road use. With its robust architecture, multiple trims, and feature-rich cabin, the Compass appeals to buyers looking for a practical SUV with a touch of ruggedness.

Jeep Compass: Price

The Jeep Compass price in India ranges from ₹18.99 lakh for the base Sport 2.0 Diesel MT to ₹32.41 lakh for the top-spec Model S (O) 4x4 AT. The new Trail Edition, based on the Longitude (O), is priced at ₹25.41 lakh, commanding a ₹58,000 premium over the standard variant. Across the lineup, pricing reflects the difference in drivetrain options, features, and off-road enhancements, with all variants powered by the same 2.0-litre diesel engine. All aforementioned prices are ex-showroom.

The current generation Jeep Compass made its Indian debut on January 27, 2021. Since then, the brand has introduced multiple iterations and special editions. In May 2025, Jeep previewed the next-generation Compass globally, which will feature more powertrain choices, including electrified options.

In terms of features, the SUV offers a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Jeep’s UConnect-5 interface, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster, and over 20 inches of total screen real estate.

Jeep Compass Expert Review

Pros

Great handling

Comfortable on long trips

Engine has low-end grunt

Cons

Lazy gearbox

No petrol engine

The Compass has been the most popular vehicle from Jeep in the Indian market and for obvious reasons. However, when the BS6 Stage 2 norms kicked in the manufacturer decided to pull the plug on the petrol engine. With the future of diesel engines being unpredictable and NGT rules only allowing diesel vehicles to run for 10 years, most people decided to shift towards petrol-powered vehicles which does make sense. So, the decision to discontinue the petrol engine did harm the sales of Compass somewhere. Moreover, as the market is evolving more and more people are considering automatic transmission for their vehicles but the Compass only offers it in the top-end trim which means that the customer would have to spend quite some money.

Jeep Compass 4x2 AT: Still capable?

The 4x2 version is not as capable as the 4x4 version. However, it will be more than enough for day-to-day usage.

We drove the new Compass 4x2 AT on a small off-road section and we already know that the 4x4 AT is a capable SUV. We are happy to report that this stands somewhat true for the 4x2 AT version as well. Yes, the 4x2 AT would not be as capable as the 4x4 version. However, we drove the 4x2 AT through some steep climbs and descents, steps, mud, ruts and even waded through the water, the SUV performed just fine for most of the part. So, even the 4x2 version is more than enough for most people who will be using the SUV in cities and on highways. One important thing to note is that the front bumper's lip is quite low and might scrape through some off-road sections so it is important to take things slowly while approaching an obstacle.

Jeep Compass 4x2 AT: Ride quality and NVH levels

Jeep says that they have retuned the suspension setup for the 4x2 AT versions. We didn't really feel a significant difference in terms of the ride quality. The Compass has always had a great ride quality, the suspension setup absorbs almost everything that a person can throw at it. The handling is also great for a SUV and there is minimal body roll.

The engine has enough grunt to climb some steep inclines.

A special mention goes to the fantastic NVH levels of the Compass. The SUV cuts off external sounds as soon as the doors are closed. The suspension also works silently and we didn't hear any unnecessary thud or noise from the suspension even while driving on the off-road track. However, the engine is a bit clattery and you can hear it inside the cabin and the clatter only increases when the driver starts pushing the engine.

Jeep Compass 4x2 AT: How does the powertrain perform?

The gearbox has been retuned and it now feels faster than before.

Well, there is nothing new about the powertrain. The 2.0-litre diesel engine is known for its grunt but it lacks a bit in the low-end. The gearbox is a bit slow to respond sometime but it is a bit quicker than the 4x4 AT variants because Jeep has retuned it. However, we would need more time behind the wheel to comment further on the gearbox behaviour as it was one of the weakest links of the pre-facelift Compass. Having said that, the acceleration is quick and strong, the Compass 4x2 AT can sprint from 0-100 kmph in 9.8 seconds, says Jeep. This has been possible because now the weight has gone down by 80 kg because of the missing 4x4 system. Jeep is claiming a fuel efficiency figure of 16.2 kmpl.

Jeep Compass 4x2 AT: Cosmetic changes and Black Shark variant

For 2023, Jeep has given a mild-facelift to the Compass. It now gets a new set of alloy wheels and redesigned grille. There are no changes to the interior.

The new Black Shark trim comes with red accents on the dashboard and the steering wheel. The seats and the centre armrest get red stitching.

Jeep has introduced a new Black Shark variant that we drove, it basically gets cosmetic upgrades over the standard Compass. There is a new gloss black grille, a new set of 18-inch black alloy wheels and body-coloured plastic cladding. The interior has an all-black theme with red stitching and leatherette seats. There is also a red accent on the dashboard and the steering wheel as well. Overall, the cabin does look quite premium because of the soft-touch materials used by Jeep.

Jeep Compass 4x2 AT: Price and verdict

The exterior is updated with a revised grille and a new set of alloy wheels.

Jeep has revised the pricing of the Compass. It is offered in six trims - Sport, Longitude, Longitude Plus, Limited, Blackshark and Model S. The prices now start at ₹20.49 lakh ex-showroom which is lower than before. The automatic transmission is now offered from the Longitude trim which costs ₹23.99 lakh and the Black Shark variant starts at ₹26.49 lakh. Both prices are ex-showroom.

The Compass still shines when it comes to the balance of handling and ride quality. It is one of the best-handling SUVs out there in the market right now. The feature list is quite extensive and the quality of the plastics and materials used for the interior screams luxury. For most people, the 4x2 AT versions are more than enough as they will be using the Compass mostly in the city or out on the highway. Overall, the Compass is still a great vehicle for someone who spends most of their time on highways munching miles and wants the quality of a luxury car without spending that type of money. With the price reduction and the introduction of the automatic transmission to lower variants, the Compass should be able to attract more customers.

Jeep Compass User Reviews & Ratings

Fantastic Driving Experience with Compass

The Compass feels solid, well-built, and easy to drive in tight spaces. Its power-to-weight ratio is excellent, with the diesel manual offering the best performance. The 10-speed DCT is smooth but shows lag in downshifts. For 4x4 lovers, the Trailhawk is a better pick with superior ground clearance. On highways, it’s comfortable and handles rough roads with ease, thanks to its brilliant suspension. Compared to Harrier and Hector, it stands closer to premium rivals like BMW X1, Audi Q3, and Merc GLA. A true driver’s SUV—test drive it once, and you’ll understand the joy of owning a Compass.

Mixed Experience with City and Highway Driving

Driving in city traffic is a nightmare since the clutch feels really tough and deep. However, it’s a blast to drive on the highway. If you can, I recommend going for the automatic version. The fit and finish of the car are top-notch, but keep in mind that service and spare parts can be way too costly.

Solid Build but Pricey Luxury

This car has a really solid build quality, which is impressive. It does feel a bit pricey for the luxury features it comes with, and the bonnet is quite heavy. But the suspension is outstanding — better than most cars in its class. Overall, it handles tough conditions in a unique way, almost like how a snake or lizard moves with ease.

Great All-Rounder Car for the Price

This car is really great for the price. I think it's better than the Harrier and can do just about everything you need it to. I personally like the sports variant which is available under 22 lakh. It gives an amazing driving experience. I say you should definitely consider this one.

Amazing Comfort and Ride Experience

The seats in this car are really comfortable, and the ride is super smooth! I really love how the car looks from the outside, and the top variant is just amazing with the 4×4 feature. It’s perfect for long journeys and even short trips. Honestly, the experience of riding in this car is really good!
