Jeep Compass Trailhawk priced at Rs 26.8 lakh

FCA India, the wholly owned subsidiary of the largest manufacturer of Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV) in the world, announced the delivery of Made-in-India Jeep Compass Trailhawk All-wheel Drive (AWD) SUV. The Trail Rated Trailhawkis priced at Rs 26.8 lakh nationwide and will be available for purchase at all 82 FCA-all brand retail touch points across the country. The Jeep Compass range begins at Rs 15.6 lakh (all-India).

The Trailhawk is being offered with the following all-new equipment:

Engine Stop / Start, Advanced Cruise Control, Built-in Navigation with an 8.4-inch UConnect screen on the centre console, Hill Descent Control (HDC) which maintains speed within 3 km/hr during steep descent, Jeep Active Drive 4x4 Low, ‘Rock Mode’ terrain selection and Auto, Snow, Mud and Sand modes. The Jeep Compass Trailhawk has a BS VI compliant engine and 9-speed automatic transmission.

The 2.0-litre, 170HP, 350 Nm turbo diesel engine has additional technology that makes it fully BS VI compliant nearly one year before the norms become effective. This BS VI engine is more refined, and uses an urea system to meet the new norms. It also makes it capable to run even on BS IV diesel, until BS VI diesel is widely available in the country. Until then, Trailhawk can be driven to the remotest part of the country with complete peace of mind, without worrying about the quality of diesel as the engine is designed to self-cleanse, without any external intervention.

The Trailhawk is optimally tuned for both urban traffic and challenging off-road driving conditions. Its all-new9-speed automatic transmission is finely tuned to deliver a progressively torquey drive with seamless gear changes. The performance is particularly impressive when driven in the 1750 – 2500 rpm band.
