From the image it looks like the rear of the car is likely to get a design similar to Compass. Recently, Jeep’s compact SUV Renegade was spotted testing in India. The sub-4 meter SUV will be priced lower than Renegade and will compete with cars like Maruti Suzuki Brezza in the segment. Jeep might not be introducing a 4×4 or AWD version on the upcoming SUV in India to keep the cost down. Internationals markets are likely to get a 4×4 option in the TrailHawk trim.
The SUV is expected to be powered by a petrol engine only. It is expected to be based on Jeep’s Small Wide Platform which is flexible enough to adapt a hybrid or an electric powertrains if needed. Jeep’s sub-4 meter compact SUV will also be getting a feature loaded car. All these features and premium design will definitely affect the price and there is a possibility that it might be slightly expensive than the products already available in the segment. Jeep is currently working on a facelifted version of Compass SUV and a 7-seater version( likely to called Grand Compass) of the same will be launched in the market next year.
