Jeep, a brand name synonymous with off roads has been quite successful in India. Although it produces automotive-enthusiast friendly cars, its Jeep Compass is for the everyday driver. Jeep launched the current generation Jeep Compass on 2017 and gave it a mild update very recently. No overall visual or interior changes were made. Only a new engine, alloy wheels and new paint schemes were offered with the new car. While the update greatly disappointed Jeep fans, a new Jeep Compass 2021 has been spotted testing and Jeep has worked hard this time.

Exterior Changes

Unlike the last mild update, the 2021 Jeep Compass is a face-lifted version of the Compass. Expect both interior and exterior changes to be present in the new iteration. The test car was heavily camouflaged so no apparent details were visible. If seen carefully you can definitely observe the alloy wheels and minor style tweaks. 

Is it Confirm?
