Jeep Compass Sport Diesel Automatic Launched in India at ₹21.99 Lakh

New automatic option for Compass buyers

Jeep has expanded its Compass range with the launch of the Sport diesel automatic variant, reported by Autocar India on October 29, 2026. The announced starting price is ₹21.99 lakh, ex-showroom.

The addition gives buyers another option in the Compass lineup, particularly those who prefer an automatic gearbox for urban traffic and regular highway driving.

What buyers should check

Before booking, customers should confirm the final variant specification, engine and gearbox combination, safety equipment and available features with an authorised Jeep dealership. The ex-showroom price does not include registration, insurance, road tax and other on-road costs.

Buyers should also ask about delivery timelines, service packages, warranty coverage and any current dealer-level benefits.

Competition in the diesel SUV segment

The Compass competes in a market where customers compare SUVs on driving comfort, engine performance, safety, cabin equipment and ownership costs. An automatic option can make the vehicle more attractive to buyers who spend considerable time in traffic, but the final decision will depend on pricing and the features offered in the specific variant.

Market Perspective

The new variant broadens customer choice without requiring buyers to move to a higher trim solely to obtain an automatic transmission. However, the value proposition will depend on the price difference against comparable SUVs and higher Compass variants.

Customers should compare the complete on-road quotation and test-drive the vehicle before making a purchase.
