Overview
The Jeep Compass enjoys a good following in the market. In fact, it has been selling in sufficiently decent numbers to become the biggest success from Fiat India in recent times. The premium SUV is expensive but has a lot going for it, which is why many buyers of traditionally popular cars like the Mahindra XUV500 have picked up the Compass instead. The SUV has won many hearts with its European looks, features, great dynamics, powerful engines, and world-class build quality.
The Jeep Compass has been on sale in a price bracket of Rs 20.01 lakh to Rs 27.63 lakh (on-road, New Delhi). The capable European SUV costs the least in Kolkata, where it is priced from Rs 18.79 lakh to Rs 25.96 lakh (on-road). The Compass is the most expensive among all popular cities in Bangalore, where it has been on sale in a price range of Rs 20.98 lakh to Rs 29.28 lakh.

Jeep Compass Review
Jeep Compass provides the perfect mix of style, technology and off-road capability. The SUV's European design, a great cabin, car-like dynamics and a good ride make it a favourite of many SUV buyers. While the COmpass has become quite expensive over the last few years it has been in the market, it's still the one to go for if you want a world-class small SUV that is as capable off the road as it is on it.
Jeep Compass FAQs - Questions & Answers
Which colour is best for Jeep Compass?
As we have always maintained, the paint option for any car should be chosen as per one's personal tastes and it would be wrong for us to recommend a colour option of our choice to you. However, in our opinion, the Compass looks the best in Hydro Blue paint shade.
Does Jeep Compass have an automatic transmission?
Yes, it does. You can purchase the petrol variant of the Compass with a 7-speed Dual-clutch Automatic Transmission. At this stage, the diesel variant is available only with a 6-speed manual transmission but the top-spec Trailhawk version, which is an off-road-spec model, can be bought to benefit from an excellent 9-speed automatic transmission.
Is Jeep Compass a good car?
The Jeep Compass is much smaller than most other SUVs in its segment but offers the most well-built cabin, great off-road hardware, powerful engines and distinctly European design. The only bad point is that the after-sales service isn't up to the mark and even the spares are quite expensive.
What is the average of Jeep Compass?
As per ARAI, the petrol version of the Jeep Compass can offer a maximum mileage of 17.1 kmpl, while its diesel variant can offer up to 16 kmpl.
Should you buy used Jeep Compass?
You can pick up a well-maintained used Jeep Compass if you're looking for a comfortable and upmarket small SUV that offers great dynamics and decent off-road capability. However, remember that the spare parts prices of the Compass are quite high and Jeep India's after-sales service network isn't up to the mark.
In case you plan to purchase a second-hand car, a well-kept Jeep Compass can turn out to be a good option. You can browse through our used car valuation tool to find out the right resale value of not just a second-hand Tigor but of any used car in the country.
