A look at the Jeep Compass
The BS6-compliant Jeep Compass borrows styling cues from its BS4 counterpart. The car gets a sporty design with a seven-slat grille, trapezoidal fog lamp housing as well as air-intake, and blacked-out wheel arches. The car runs on sporty-looking alloy wheels and houses faux skid plates on both the ends, indicator-mounted ORVMs, and chrome highlights around the windows.
Inside the cabin
Inside, the five-seater Jeep Compass offers a premium cabin with power-adjustable seats wrapped in leather, auto-dimming inside rear-view mirror, and a three-spoke multifunctional steering wheel with cruise control. The car features an electric sunroof, a fully-digital instrument cluster, and a touchscreen infotainment panel with smartphone connectivity features. Moreover, it gets driver and passenger airbags, ABS with EBD, traction control, and several driver-friendly features.
Power and performance
The Jeep Compass is offered in two BS6-compliant engine options: a 2.0-liter diesel and a 1.4-liter petrol. The former is capable of producing 170bhp of power and 350Nm of peak torque, while the latter churns out 161bhp and 250Nm. To manage transmission duties, the car gets a 6-speed manual or a 9-speed automatic gearbox.
