Jeep Compass 7-seater to be launched in 2021
The Jeep Compass seven seater will be launched in India next year. The car has been codenamed the “Low D”. This SUV has been spied testing several times earlier. The entire platform of the car is said to be modified to accommodate a bigger wheelbase and a bigger body that will provide ample space for a third row. There have been reports that Compass will get a major facelift this year and therefore we can expect Compass seven-seater will be launched next year. Find out more details about the car below.
Compass 7-seater dimensions
The wheelbase of the Compass seven seater will be increased from 2.63m to 2.80 metres. This will also increase the overall length of the car which is 4.41 metres right now. This will lead to better legroom for the third-row passengers. There is already a 7- seater Compass that is sold in the international markets call the Grand Jeep Compass.
Compass 7-seater design
The design of the Compass seven seater will not be completely different. The car will not look like a stretched Compass and will look like a proportionate car as a whole. The wheelbase of the car will be increased. The car will also get a boxy design to increase the headroom for the rear passengers. The overall windows of the car will also be bigger to make the cabin airier and give the third-row passengers a comfortable experience. It will even get a different grille design as well as a new set of alloys.
Engine and gearbox
The car will get the 2.0-litre diesel that does duty on the Jeep Compass. This engine produces 170 bhp and is mated to a six-speed manual as well as a nine-speed auto.
The Compass 7 seater could also get a more powerful engine from the FCA family which is the 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel that produces 200 bhp.
If this engine does come it will be an attractive buy for performance enthusiasts.
The car is also said to have a different suspension setup as well as a different steering system.
Launch and pricing
The launch of the vehicle has been postponed and it should now be launched next year itself. Many upcoming cars will rival the 7-seater Compass such as the Tiguan all space and the Skoda Kodiaq. This car is being developed for countries such as India where this is a demand for seven-seater SUVs. The pricing of the car will be more than the Jeep Compass and it will be around 25-30 lakh (ex-showroom). You can check our review on the Jeep compass:
