The updated Compass retains the same set of engines as before. These include the 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder diesel and the 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine. Both engines come with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard. The petrol is offered with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic, while the diesel comes with an optional 9-speed automatic.
