Jeep India will start delivering the petrol-powered variants of the Jeep Compass which was launched in July this year. Jeep has been delivering diesel variants of the Compass to customers since August 2017. So far, thanks to its cut-throat pricing, the Jeep Compass has proved to be a runaway success for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). Bookings for the Jeep Compass began on June 20, 2017 and last month, Jeep India said they had received more than 10,000 bookings for the SUV.

Presently, Jeep India is shipping out around 2,000 units of the Jeep Compass from its showrooms across the country. It has become the segment’s best-selling vehicle by a wide margin. Other players in the segment include the Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson, and the Volkswagen Tiguan. The sales figure is expected to rice once deliveries of the petrol-powered Compass picks up.
