Jeep Compass Bookings In 3 Days Is Quite Impressive
With booking amount of Rs 50,000, the Jeep Compass has received close to 1000.
Jeep began bookings for the Compass SUV earlier this week with a token amount of Rs 50,000 through its website. And the response is quite impressive.
The company has received above 1000 bookings for the Compass just three days after it announced it had started bookings for the SUV. Bookings are being accepted via company's website as well as Jeep dealerships.
The Compass seems to have captured the imaginations of many, and the number of bookings underscores its popularity in the Indian market.
Jeep unveiled the Compass SUV in India a couple of months ago and will be manufactured in the company's Ranjangaon plant near Pune. The Jeep Compass is the first Jeep to be manufactured in India and will be exported to right-hand-drive (RHD) markets such as Japan, UK and South Africa.
The Compass SUV boasts of up to 80 percent localisation, this will help Jeep position the Compass at a competitive price range. There are reports that the Compass' entry petrol model could be offered at Rs 15 lakh ex-showroom emphasising its popularity.
Powering the Jeep Compass are two powertrains: a 1.4-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol and a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. The petrol unit churns out 160bhp and 260Nm of torque, while the diesel mill produces 170bhp and 350Nm of torque. Gearbox duties will be carried out by either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed automatic gearbox.
The Compass will also get a four-wheel-drive system, which will receive Jeep's terrain response system. Driving modes such as Snow, Sand and Rock options, responsible for changing the characteristics of the power delivery and driving dynamics.
