The diesel variants make more sense in the Compass

Verdict – Just like its diesel counterpart, the Jeep Compass petrol is also a very impressive car that drives really well but most people in this segment are on the lookout for performance as well as efficiency. While performance from the MultiAir engine isn’t bad, the fuel efficiency is on the lower side. However, the automatic transmission does ease out your stress while driving in traffic. We still recommend the diesel variants of this SUV, and the petrol trims make sense only if you want an automatic SUV that is petrol-powered.

Fuel efficiency with the petrol-AT combo isn’t high

What’s Cool

* The Jeep Compass is an absolute looker
* Superb suspension set-up, can go almost anywhere
* The petrol variant is pretty quick in acceleration

What’s Not So Cool

* Fuel efficiency isn’t all that great
* Gearbox isn’t suited for enthusiasts

Alternatives: Hyundai Creta, Mahindra XUV500
