The new Compass was unveiled by Jeep at the Guangzhou International Motor Show. & nbsp; This is the most important facelift of the SUV since its second-generation debut in 2016. According to the teaser, the China-spec compass will arrive in India with some changes.

The SUV comes with minor changes like the new front bumper, slimmer grille, and LED headlamps. The SUV may get a new 3-spoke steering wheel and digital instrument cluster.
The Compass Facelift may retain older engines. It is powered by a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder diesel engine that produces 350 Nm of torque at 170 bhp and a 1.4-liter turbo petrol engine that produces 161 bhp and 250 Nm of torque. Both engines are paired with a standard six-speed manual gearbox. The new Compass is also rumored to be powered by a 1.3-liter turbo petrol engine.
The length and height of the compass facelift have been increased to 29 mm and 17 mm, respectively. The wheelbase remains at 2636mm. The main attraction of the facelift version is the seven-box front grille finished in chrome. The interior of the vehicle comes with a redesigned dashboard with a floating 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment head-unit with Amazon Alexa support, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto connectivity.
Compass arrived in India on July 31, 2017, changing the face of the Indian auto market. More than 70 per cent of the construction of the Compass has been completed locally at the Ranjangovan plant in Pune. Compass is a vehicle that has become a huge hit in a short span of time. Compass also made history in sales, including crash tests and gigantic performances.
