The Jeep brand has been on a roll this year. Jeep launched the Compass during the start of this year which was updated inside-out and brought more value for itself. Recently, the company also launched its iconic off-roader, the Wrangler in the country. The Wrangler has been priced very aggressively due to heavy localization. Now, the talk of the town is that the brand is planning to bring a 7-seater to the country that could very well take on the upcoming Mahindra XUV700. In this article, we will discuss the Rs 18 Lakh 7-seater and how it could pose a threat to the XUV700.

Platform & Engine

Jeep Compass

The Jeep 7-seater will be based on the same platform that underpins the latest Compass. The main change will be seen on the overhang as it will be increased in order to accommodate the extra seating for the 3rd-row passengers. Also, the car will bring an upright rear to accommodate the overhang.

The Rs 18 Lakh 7-seater from Jeep is expected to be powered by the same 2.0-litre MULTIJET 4-cylinder turbo-diesel engine from the Compass. However, it is expected to be re-tuned to produce more power.

The new 5-seater Jeep Compass’ interiors were the major talking point from the latest update. The updated interiors of the Compass are expected to be carried forward to the 7-seater. A panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats with cooling function and a bigger touchscreen infotainment system is expected to be on offer. The features will not be limited just to the updated bits but will also be added with some other conveniences to make the 7-seater much more luxurious than the Compass 5-seater.
