Jeep Compass: Jeep has created a niche for itself in the Indian SUV industry with the Compass, marking it to be synonymous with style, agility, power, ruggedness as well as modern American engineering. Though, not all SUVs in this segment do that, while the Compass goes pretty straightforward in its off-roader lineage, it infuses a premium urban appeal. It wears the Jeep badge proudly, and fulfils its brand promise of quality construction and go-anywhere, anytime ability. Through the years, the Compass has been treated to small but significant updates, in terms of technology, comfort and design. For those who prefer a genuine SUV with a bit of uptown flair, the Compass has been a sound crossover choice.
The Style That Has a Foot in Both Ruggedness and Polished-Length-Cropped
A major head-turner, the Jeep Compass comes with a cool design. Rugged good looks Meanwhile, the exterior shapes are pure Jeep, with its upright appearance, square wheel openings and signature seven-slot grille. The new front-end gets stylish LED projector headlamps, chiselled hood and an aggressive bumper, all of which adds to its road presence. Its sharp lines, blacked-out roof and chrome highlights are a mix of luxury and toughness. There are different designs of alloy wheels depending on the variant, but all shine through its sporty and dynamic personality. Around back, the car’s stubbiness and simple, well-ordered lines help maintain an adult, understated appearance. Rather, it’s a device that doesn’t call attention to itself, but stands out all the same.
Interior Designed for Comfort and Contemporary feel
While inside the cabin, the Compass makes a pronounced first step towards luxury. Clean, functional and dominated by a huge touchscreen infotainment system (now with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay), the dashboard looks great. The quality of construction has been improved again, with better materials employed throughout – think soft-touch surfaces, leatherette upholstery in higher spec models, and brushed aluminum garnishes – and as such it feels well put together. The small, multifunction steering wheel provides good feel and convenient controls. Rear seat room is not class-leading, but adult passengers will have no complaints with good leg and headroom. And everyday amenities such as dual-zone climate control, ventilated front seats and a panoramic sunroof in upper trims help ease drudgery from daily life.
Engines for Every Situation
The Compass can also be specified with a petrol and diesel engine,depending on driving style. Powering the Seltos is a 1.4-litre turbo petrol engine that comes mated to a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT and provides decent power for city driving,while offering a pleasant highway cruising experience. But it’s the 2.0-litre diesel engine that really showcases the Compass’s ability. Paired with a 9-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual gearbox, engine response is linear and the strong torque is very practical for passing or driving off road otherwise. Jeep has even given its intuitive 4×4 system in top trims, which gives the SUV a proper off road ability which not many in the segment can boast of. A composed ride quality is retained and the handling is impressively agile for an SUV of this girth.
Driving Dynamics That Inspire Confidence
One of the best aspects of the Jeep Compass is its well-rounded driving dynamics. Based on a good monocoque frame, the Compass provides planted feel along with stability at speed and composed ride over the rough. The suspension also does a good job in smothering undulations yet feeling sporty through corners. Steering communication is sharp and body lean is scant, making the Compass less like a traditional SUV and more like a well-sorted crossover. The generous ground clearance and tight turning radius allow for nimble navigation both on city streets and on rough rural roads. The Compass is a pleasure to drive or be driven in, whether around town or during lengthy journeys.
Features That Meet Modern Expectations
Jeep has also seen to it that the Compass is up to modern standards in terms of technology and features that are on par with 21st century standards for both safety and convenience. Its infotainment system is easy to use, featuring a sharp looking screen and built-in voice commands. Top-spec models get a fully digital instrument cluster that gives it a modern picture. In terms of safety, multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, hill start assist, and ISOFIX child-seat anchors are on offer. Some trims also receive hill descent control and a terrain response setting, continuing to make it a legitimate off-roading machine. A smattering of practical features such as wireless phone charging, keyless entry and push-button start, rain-sensing wipers and auto-dimming mirrors further solidify the car’s everyday usefulness.
