Key Highlights

Jeep India has stopped the production of the petrol variants of its best-selling model, the Jeep Compass. The production of Compass petrol has been halted owing to supply constraints and Jeep India will only be selling diesel variants of the Compass for the foreseeable future. Now, there is no confirmation on when Jeep India will resume production of the petrol Jeep Compass, but some of the dealers we spoke to have told us that the company could take as long as a year to bring back the petrol-powered Compass.
