Clap: Awesome. I can see a couple of Trail Hawks as well. Any idea if the diesel autos have also been shipped. Curious to know if they have their gearbox ready. |
Jeep Compass Trailhawk production begins in India. Rugged Trailhawk to be export-only for now; gets a 2.0-litre diesel engine mated to a nine-speed auto. There is no news on whether Jeep will bring this variant to India. However, there are talks of the Compass diesel automatic heading to showrooms in the coming months |

There’s a noticeable turbo lag below 2,000rpm and the bottom-end performance isn’t as strong. It’s only when you spin this motor beyond 2,200rpm that you get a prominent spike in power delivery, after which the Compass briskly gathers pace, riding on a nice wave of torque. |

That's not very exciting. Below the turbo range, the engine is basically a 1368 cc NA engine. And it needs to be seen how the auotobox is tuned. If it is tuned for mileage, like the Ecosport, you would have to kick down quite often to extract some performance - which would tire you down after some time. On top of it, there is no sport mode. |
In stop and go conditions, however, it can get confused and cause some jerks. Also, it’s slow to respond to throttle inputs; so put your foot down and it will take some time to recognise the need to downshift, before reacting. However, there is a manual mode which solves this problem to an extent by holding the gear, but this takes away from the entire point of owning an automatic. Neither is there a sport mode and nor does it have paddleshifters. |

That sort of Lag is definitely expected for such a heavy car, with a pint sized engine. Looks like the gearbox isn't well tuned for city use either. Quoting from ACI: |

I took late Evening test drive and noticed that the brightness of the Headlights very low both high\Low beams one Limited variant. When compared to the present head lights on my I20 which is 100\90 W aftermarket, I feel compass's head light are underpowered or is it my assumption. Did anyone feel the same? |

Yes the Limited version with only a single beam projector Halogen does feel insufficient. The Longitude and Sport versions are better off with separate High low beam reflectors and bulbs. To solve this problem I upgraded my Limited version bulbs to LED bulbs and the light is substantially better now. You can find more details on my ownership thread. |

Thank you for the update and read through your ownership thread. So if in case I plan for compass, should i go for a variant Low or high, is it worth taking the LTD O |

The variant which I would recommend for the diesel is the Longitude O version as it is the best value. The Ltd O is around 1L more expensive in on-road price than the Ltd with only a Black roof and Xenon headlights which is way too much! If you can afford it get the 4x4 Ltd O version which will also get you the 6 airbags. |
