The launch of the car is however scheduled in mid 2017 and that's when we'll know the price of the car. The all-new model replaces the outgoing Compass and Patriot SUVs completely and is an extremely important product for India, with the company set to locally manufacture the SUV for domestic and export markets. Here is everything you need to know about the Jeep Compass.

Now, we've caught the car testing a few times in India and so know a bit about it. The 2017 Jeep Compass is positioned between the entry-level Renegade and Cherokee SUV in the automaker's line-up, and is based on the stretched version of the Small Wide 4x4 architecture. In terms of design, the new Compass replicates the design language of the Grand Cherokee and clearly gets its proportions on point.The all-new Jeep Compass will be locally manufactured at FCA's Ranjangaon facility near Pune and this is big news for India.

The cabin too takes inspiration from the Grand Cherokee instead of the Renegade and gets a neat looking cabin finished in black and grey. Talking about the mechanicals, the all-new Compass will get front-wheel drive as standard, while All-Wheel Drive will be available as optional right from the start.
Power is expected to come from 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engine options, while a 2.4-litre naturally aspirated motor will also be available in developed markets like the US. Transmission options will include a 9-speed automatic, while a manual is also likely to be offered. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) have said that globally there will be 17 powertrain options available on the new Jeep Compass, so definitely there won't be a dearth for choices.
