Here's what the Jeep Compass (facelift) will offer
Jeep India is working to launch the facelifted version of one of its popular SUVs, the Compass, in the country by the end of this year. An Autocar report has claimed that the new model will come with an upgraded UConnect 5 infotainment system. Further, the SUV is likely to get a tweaked exterior design as well. Here's our roundup.
How will it look like?
To recall, the facelifted version of the Compass SUV was spotted testing in China earlier this year. As per the spy shots, the car is expected to get a similar design as the current-generation model, but it will come with reworked bumpers and a new grille. Besides that, the SUV will offer new LED headlamps and a powered tailgate.
Inside the cabin
The new Jeep Compass will offer a five-seater cabin with leather seats, automatic climate control, and a multifunctional steering wheel. The car will reportedly house an upgraded 12.3-inch UConnect 5 infotainment system that comes with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity features, over-the-air (OTA) updates, and integrated Amazon Alexa support. Moreover, it is likely to retain the standard safety features of the outgoing model.
Power and performance
Under the hood, the updated Jeep Compass will be offered with two BS6-compliant engine options: a 1.4-liter turbo-petrol and a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel. The petrol unit is capable of producing 163hp of maximum power, while the diesel mill churns out 173hp.
Finally, how much will it cost?
Jeep will reveal the pricing and availability details of the facelifted Compass at a later stage. However, looking at the updates, the car will carry a significant premium over the current-generation model that starts at Rs. 16.49 lakh. Once launched, the car will take on the likes of MG Hector, Hyundai Tucson, and Kia Seltos.
