Jeep will start local production of its globalmid - size SUV this June.The product pack squite a punch and the legacy laden brand should do Fiat Chrysler a world of good
WATCHING INDIAN WORKMEN put together the Jeep Compass at the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) factory in Ranjangaon, just 50km from Pune, is not shorn of pride. But there is also a sense of anxious hope of seeing this mid-size SUV from the iconic American brand becoming successful. Every other product to have come out of here has garnered only a lukewarm response. It is a legacy that’s best gotten rid of, and FCA’s best hopes lie with brand Jeep and the Compass.
