Comfortably Gritty

Jeep finally gives us the compass we wanted.

- Aadil Naik

I must confess that I absolutely love the standard Jeep Compass. I think it is one of the most underrated cars on sale in India today. The ride quality is unparalleled and the way the suspension eats bad roads without resulting in oodles of body roll is seriously impressive. But it has a few problems. Every variant other than the Limited Plus feels poorly specced, and while the diesel does get 4x4, the ground clearance and bumper design mean it won’t go too far down the dirt trail. A Jeep that won’t do Jeep things? Blasphemy. But we now have the car that we envisioned when the Compass was first announced, and it promises to do all you dreamed a Jeep should.
