Additionally, the company has lowered the pricing of the base variant of this car, and it now starts at Rs 20.49 lakh.

For the new 2023 model year, the company has also introduced a new variant to the lineup of their popular SUV.

The biggest update for the 2023 Jeep Compass is that the 9-speed automatic transmission now becomes available starting from the newly launched Longitude variant. This variant has been priced at Rs 23.99 lakh, which is almost Rs 6 lakh lower than the previous Limited 4X4 automatic variant. According to the company, the Compass with the new 9-speed automatic transmission will be able to provide a fuel efficiency of around 16.2 kmpl. On a side note, the base-spec Compass in the Sport variant will come only with a manual transmission.
The third variant in the lineup is the new Longitude+ variant, which will come with all the same features and options as the Longitude variant. The difference, however, will be that this new variant will get additional features such as a wireless charger and a panoramic sunroof as well. Fourth on the list is the Limited variant, which will now get a new BlackShark Edition. This new edition gets a blacked-out grille, new blacked-out Meridian-style alloy wheels, and a full black leather interior. The interior also gets some subtle-looking “Ignite Red” accents as well.
Last and the most expensive variant on the list of the Jeep Compass is the Model S variant. This variant, which previously came only with the automatic transmission in the 4X4 variant, will now get the same 9-speed automatic transmission in a 4X2 drivetrain as well. Apart from this new rejig of the variants, the 2023 Compass Limited and Model S variants get a brand new front grille and Jeep Meridian-type alloy wheels. As for the powertrain side of things, the Compass will still come powered by the same 2.0-liter diesel engine that makes around 170 bhp of maximum power and 350 Nm of torque.
