Jeep Compass
Jeep compass is one of the most loved SUV in India thanks to its rugged traditional jeep styling with an incredible 4x4 system and enough power to glide through any terrain.
It was first launched in 2017 and now after 4 years of its launch it is given the eagerly awaited facelift lets check whether the facelift gets a big smile on our face.
Exterior design
At front there is substantial changes starting from the new all LED headlight which is connected with new grill with traditional seven slots which are covered so no air flow will happen from there and the centre slot have the camera for 360 degree view functionality. There is also larger vents down at the bumpers for air intake and this time Jeep have reduced the amount of chrome significantly and that have made the car more attractive.
Coming at the side profile its the old compass with a new diamond cut alloy wheel design and 2 tone paint combination
At the rear the only change is in the tail lamp which is new in terms of design and we get an electrically operated tailgate for more comfort.
Interior
And this is where the New facelift is said to be happened if we compare the old and the facelift version the only similarity is the seat rest of everything is new in the facelift where the main attraction is the massive 10.1 inch touchscreen infotainment and similarly a screen at the instrument cluster which tells you each and every information of your car.
Previous model was having that sturdy and rugged feeling like every jeep vehicle is expected to be but here its on the next level with soft touch materials on the dash on the door sides, even the centre console is brand new with a new luxury statement. The all black interior just makes it complete in terms of of luxury.
Performance
Its all the same compass from performance point of view but with some corrections on the suspension the have made the handling slightly more agile and this have made it perfect for off-roading.
Making it BS6 complaint have made the performance a bit linear but that does not feel much while driving.
Conclusion
Overall its a significant jump in terms of comfort and luxury but a bit more exterior styling and also a great increase in performance would make it perfect.
Now the main question is its pricing and that is said to be in a range of 20-30 lakhs which makes it quite expensive in its segment.
