Yes, the facelift version also comes with the feature of engine turning off on Ideal, the whole mechanism being monitored by the car itself. This does help in reducing the fuel consumption to an extent. Without this mechanism the FE of turbo engine would be very low.

Can I understand what you meant here? Is it the jerkiness, upshift/ downshift lag?
I was also considering Compass AT Petrol. Wanted to understand the car a bit better.

I've owned a Petrol AT since Dec 2017 ... in my experience, there may be a bit of a lag when trying to overtake, or occasionally when exiting a roundabout. Could be due to the turbo or gear hunting perhaps.

However, I've been able to adjust with time and now it doesn't really bother me at all.

I've never noticed any jerkiness whatsoever.

The TBHP experts constantly dump on the Petrol AT, but I've enjoyed the car thoroughly thus far, and it has even got me to Chandratal Lake in Spiti and back.

Really you should do a test drive and make up your own mind of course!

Thanks for the prompt response! Yes, I will do a test drive of the car and decide once these restrictions ease out. One thing (seeing reviews/ videos on youtube) which I noticed is that, the lower variants of the car feels plush and upmarket which is not the case with other cars. This allows me to select a lower variant and be on my budget.

How do you rate the suspension of the car? Firm/ Soft?

Re: Jeep Compass Petrol AT : Official Review

I've recently booked a Jeep Compass Petrol AT (S variant), majorly for it's ride quality and handling prowess. I must say it's a heart over mind decision. The moment you compare it's power figures relative to price, then it may not seem to offer value for money. But , in the end, its a premium quality product and commands a pricing premium too.

Re: Jeep Compass Petrol AT : Official Review

Anyone find missing cruise control to be a significant bother on long road trips (over 100km)?

I presumed Petrol AT Model S (O2) came with cruise control based on the brochure, but it turns out that is not an available feature. Odd!

This came in as part of BS6 updates.

All automatic models have cruise control. Not sure where you got this information from.

Re: Jeep Compass Petrol AT : Official Review

Came across this review of Compass petrol AT.
https://motoringworld.in/car-reviews...omatic-review/

One of the best reviews out there. Though it's for pre-facelift model, the gist of it is still relevant.

I recall reading it in one of the posts in this thread itself and the sales associate who I've been communicating with stated it too. I'm seeing videos and images showing cruise control buttons on the steering, but do not know if those are placeholders or functioning. I'm not in the country, so haven't test driven myself to confirm. Can any 2021 Petrol AT owner confirm please?

Again, all Compass AT models have cruise control. Even the base model. The manual variants don’t.

Apart from the underwhelming interior, the Duster 1.3 CVT offers the best VFM in terms of performance and terrain capability relative to price.

Re: Jeep Compass Petrol AT : Official Review

Can anyone share realistic in city mileage of the Compass AT petrol. I'm considering one and wanted an experienced input about in city and highway mileage of the petrol automatic. Thanks in advance.

Sure. I have been driving the petrol automatic in Bangalore and I get about 9 kmpl on most days. There were days when I got 7 and there were also days when I got 10 plus too. I have driven in Hyderabad and Chennai as well where the traffic was much easier and was able to get about 11. All depends on traffic in the city one drives.
Highways - I get ~13 if I drive aggressively and ~14.5 if I drive normally.

I did a Bengaluru to Mumbai drive on my petrol AT with overnight stay at Kolhapur last week.

Figures for Bengaluru-Kolhapur stretch -

The mileage largely depends on driving style and median speed. moderate speed with less push to the accelerator/break gives better mileage.
