Jeep India has priced the Compass SUV very aggressively

The Compass SUV was first unveiled in India a couple of months ago and of course is manufactured at the company's FCA plant in Ranjangaon. In fact it is the first Jeep to be manufactured in India. The localisation levels on the car are up to 65 per cent and the car will be exported to right hand drive markets like Japan, UK and South Africa by the end of this year. The heavy localisation also means that the price of the Jeep Compass will be very competitive, which is one reason why we see the kind of attention it's getting. Jeep has invested as much as $280 million to create an environment suitable to make the Compass as per global standards.
