Most Helpful Review

Heavy look

fully satisfied. Amazing driving experience. Affordable price. Can by this anyone. Well stylish car. Superb interior. very comfortable for traveling. Overall I will give this car a rating 4.5out of 5

Don't buy

Never buy any Jeep product that is not fit for Indian customers, lacks service, stud down dealers, is extremely high maintenance, and has the worst real value. I'm already an existing user. Good to drive is the only reason, go for XUV 700, mg, best will Toyota, Tata you regret and suffer after 2 years of this JEEP, thankyou

Wonderful experience

A great driving experience I had with the Jeep Compass. Either off-road or smooth road, you will feel great comfort next to luxury. Smooth drive even on rough stretches. Loaded with a variety of features.
