Furthermore, we get a glimpse of a new floating touchscreen display inside the cabin as well, which is likely to come with a new infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Also, given the current trend, Jeep India might even introduce connected technology, however, currently, there's no confirmation on whether this India-spec Compass will get this or not. In fact, the US-spec Compass facelift gets an 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system that now features FCA's latest UConnect 5 software and is compatible with Amazon Alexa.

Powertrain wise, Jeep has introduced a new 1.3-litre, turbocharged petrol engine, with a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant, and a 1.6-litre, Multi-jet diesel engine for the US market. However, we expect the India-spec model to continue using the existing 170 bhp 2.0-litre Multi-jet diesel engine, and the 160 bhp 1.4-litre Multi-air petrol motor. Both have been quite well-received in India and are already BS6 compliant. Both engines also come with a 6-speed manual gearbox, along with an options 9-speed torque converter and 7-speed DCT automatic, respectively.
