There are plenty of new car launches that have happened last year, and the most popular ones have mostly been SUVs. The SUV has become ever so popular throughout the world, and every manufacturer makes some sort of SUV. However, not all of these new vehicles that call themselves SUVs are really true SUVs. Take the compact SUV space for example. The Hyundai Creta is a great car, but is it really a proper SUV? The same goes for the Ford Ecosport, the Mahindra XUV300, and the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza. While all good cars in their own way they are not really a 'Sports' Utility Vehicle. 

Sports Utility Vehicles must be capable, spacious and practical all at the same time. Jeep was the pioneer of this segment and ever since they revolutionized this automotive design, everyone seems to be eating out of their plate. The good thing about the folks at Jeep is that they are proud of their achievement and they know that their product speak for itself. When the Jeep Compass came to India it was met with immediate success. That is becasue the Compass, like all other Jeep vehicles is the most capable and best looking of all the compact SUVs available in India today. 

Here are some of the reasons why the Jeep Compass Limited Plus is the best compact SUV in India.

Capability

The Jeep Compass is the most capable ofcourse. With a class leading ground clearance and a wonderful chassis, and a wide range of engine options that come with four-wheel drive you can go anywhere and do anything with the Compass. Driving in urbban areas with bad roads is not a problem. Taking highway trips is as relaxed as ever, and if you want to go off the beaten path then you can simply go over any terrain. This is perhaps what relly makes the Compass special, and that is the fact that it live up to the true reputation of being a proper SUV. 

Practicality

Apart from being highly capable, the Compass is also very practical. It is compact and can be driven in all condiitons in any setting. Weather you are driving in the city it is alwasy easy and comfortable to drive. It has some fantastic features as well and lots of storage space and options. If you are someone who drives a lot and needs to lug around a lot of cargo then the Compass is perfect.

Powerful

The Compass comes with veyr powerful and refined engine. The Compass Limited Plus comes with an automatic gearbox paired with a petrol engine. The engine is a 1.4-litre Multiair turbocharged unit, which produces 161bhp and 250Nm of torque. Importantly, the peak torque of this engine is delivered between 2,500 to 4,000rpm, which is significant in how it drives. It lso gets a 2.0-litre Multijet diesel motor – which makes 170 horses and 350Nm – and is extremely quiet and refined.

Quality

The Compass is made in India and it is one of the best quality SUvs. In fact we even awarded the Compass for being one of the best vehicles launched in 2017. The build quality is great, the interiors are veyr nice and the overall product is very good. It is also veyr affordable for such a high quality product.
