Well, it's been a long wait from Jeep for the Compass diesel automatic and looks like our prayers have been answered by the company. Jeep has launched the diesel automatic Compass in two trims - Longitude 4X4 and the top-spec Limited Plus. The automatic diesel was earlier reserved for the more expensive Trailhawk version.
The prices for the diesel automatic Jeep Compass starts at Rs 21.96 lakh for the Longitude 4X4 and Limited Plus sticks at a price of Rs 24.99 lakh. All prices relate to ex-showroom, pan-India. The bookings and test drive for the same are available at all dealerships across India.
