Real world fuel efficiency of the 2021 Jeep Compass

The Compass diesel 4x4 AT managed an MID displayed 14.4 km/L. Tankful-to-tankful method worked out to 14 km/L.

BHPian dhana recently shared this about his Jeep Compass 4x4 AT with other enthusiasts.

Traveled from Chennai to Karaikal and back. I took the Trichy highway route. About 40 % of the road was under construction, so there were frequent slow-downs especially around culverts.

MID displayed 14.4 km/L. Tankful-to-tankful method worked out to 14 km/L.

Within Chennai city (rarely in bumper-to-bumper traffic):

MID: 9.3 km/L. Tankful-to-tankful worked out to 9.8 km/L.

I used to get only around 7.5 within city, but after I switched my MID to always show the Fuel Economy display (image below), it changed my driving habits which has resulted in better FE.

On similar lines, BHPian Night Raven shared the following about his Jeep Compass 1.4 petrol manual:

90% of drives with only the driver and no luggage, Climate control always on, driven through 2 lane Kerala roads with average speed around 40kmph.

MID figures after today’s drive of 50kms

MID figures after last month’s drives

So far much better than I had anticipated.
