Powering of the Compass Night Eagle.
Concerning the Powertrain, the Night Eagle Edition has the option of a petrol and a diesel variant in International markets. A four-wheel-drive system with surface-specific modes will be on offer with the diesel engine. However, in the East, including India, it will continue to offer the standard Compass’ 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine that puts out 163hp and 250Nm and the 2.0-litre turbo-diesel unit which produces 173hp and 350Nm. Both engines get a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard, with the petrol getting a 7-speed dual-clutch auto and the diesel getting a 9-speed torque-converter automatic as options.
What’s else is coming from Jeep India?
Jeep India will launch the facelifted Jeep Compass in early 2021, which is bound to get several design changes, including redesigned headlights, bumpers and grille. Following that, the company will introduce the 7-seat version of the Compass, named as Project 598 or Jeep ‘D-SUV’, which might have a more powerful iteration of the 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine.
FCA is carrying out its business in India through the Jeep and Maserati brands currently. PSA will enter the Indian market with the debut of its Citroen brand in 2021. The Fiat brand under the FCA has no products for the Indian market currently, after it discontinued all its products because of low sales and updates on emission norms.
