This is the first time Autocar India did a sensible review on an off-roader. Usually, drive through some plain grass grounds and say they have done some serious offroading off the camera or completely ignore the offroad bit by saying no one is going to take this offroad. Thank you for the change. Hope this continues in further reviews
Thank you Mr.Sergius for the Review. FYI 1. All the Compass(Regular or Trailhawk) have Bash Plates under the Engine for the Engine Protection. 2. Jeep Compass is the only Vehicle in the World that has scored a full 100/100 in the moose test, if you know by what I mean. Also there is Dynamic Steering Torque and Electronic Rollover Mitigation as standard features across the Compass Range. That's why there is no oversteer or body roll. 3. The 9-speed ZF Torque Convertor Gear Box used in the Jeep Compass has all the Power you want and there is absolutely no power lag. Note - Please Understand the Driving Dynamics of the Compass regarding the Power. Requesting you to visit the Pune Jeep Showroom and meet me for the Test Drive, it would be a pleasure to host you. Thank you.
I really appreciate how Autocar reviews all cars with equal enthusiasm. Just last month saw Sergius’ review of Tiago CNG and then watching this whole another level/segment. Both heartfelt reviews.
finally a guy who knows stuff about the cars and presents properly. didnt get a cringy review with words like 'coupe like' and fake accents. they should let him review all the cars and all others should just write those clickbate articles
Kia : Lets upgrade the Seltos with an 18inch wheel on the X-Line edition unlike the regular 17inch wheel. Jeep : Lets upgrade the Compass's regular 18inch into a 17inch wheel for better tyre profile in the Trailhawk edition.
Which car to buy around 25 lakhs?? MG Hector - got mixed reviews MG Astor - Falls into mid size suv Mahindra XUV 700 - long waiting Skoda Kushaq - Not a great interior a bit let down @ 21 lakhs VW Taigun - Looks good but same, interior not premium Jeep- Ticks most of the boxed but a bit expensive
I think the trailhawk gets more better calibration in off-road modes because there is difference in regular car and trailhawk in tackling the bad roads .....the trailhawk passes over the bad roads quite easily than the regular car
Fortunes has 221 mm of ground clearance which is like 1.5 cm more but it’s a pretty good off-roader, so why not the jeep. And even thar has 226 mm which is again only half a cm more
in case of trailhawk it already gets a diesel engine also its gonna increase the price a bit more unnecessarily, in case of other manufacturers I guess its because most of the engines provided by manufacturers nowadays are are turbo petrol engines, if i know most cars have only NA hybrid petrol engines and dont know if Tubro petrol engine can be mated to a hybrid
@@rajanicn9269 fine NA petrol engine are fine when its hybrid.. but why they are not considering for india.. jeep compass is already 35 lac car its okay for buyers even its 3 to 4 lac costlier with hybrid engine.. jeep owners can spend that much money.. but its manufacturers who are not at all interested to develop hybrids in india
What a big blunder by Jeep top brass in India, depriving Indian car lovers of this gem of a product! This is a classic example of why they misread the Indian market and sell just about 500 cars in a month !
nope. This still is a crossover that has some nice tricks. The main limitation is the ground clearance. Also compared to Thar's 42:1 crawl ratio, this has 20:1 I think
These are modern and luxury cars just bigger than normal hatchback but these costly toys are not SUVs these are just wastage of money for the sake of SUV or we can say that these only good for city users not usefull in village or hilly areas
Just buy a bolero neo or thar or Gurkha and save yourself from 20lacs ,expensive repairs ,poor resale and do I need to say more.Trust me its not worth 35lacs,Youll be dissapointed.
agree, I have driven compass before. Although its a good car and everything but definitely not worth 30 plus Lakhs. You might as well buy a german car.
