Jeep India has expanded its Compass portfolio with the launch of the new Compass Track Edition, with prices starting at ₹26.78 lakh (ex-showroom). The new edition is based on the top-spec S trim and focuses on enhancing the SUV’s rugged appeal while adding cosmetic and equipment upgrades. It will be available in limited numbers. With this launch, Jeep aims to refresh the Compass lineup in India. They seek to refresh buyer interest in a segment that continues to see tough competition from rivals like the Hyundai Tucson, Tata Harrier, and Mahindra XUV 700.
The table below shows the price list of the new Jeep Compass Track Edition:
| Track Edition Variant | Price (ex-showroom) |
|---|---|
| Diesel-MT | ₹26.78 lakh |
| Diesel-AT | ₹28.64 lakh |
| Diesel-AT 4×4 | ₹30.58 lakh |
The Track Edition of the Compass is expensive by ₹30,000-₹33,000 over the equivalent S variant.
Exterior Design Tweaks
The Compass Track Edition introduces a few distinctive exterior touches that differentiate it from the standard variants. The SUV now sports new 18-inch grey alloy wheels with beige highlights, piano black detailing on the grille, and a new hood decal. Jeep has also added a subtle “Track Edition” insignia on the body to emphasize its limited-run status. The overall proportions and silhouette remain unchanged, but these updates collectively give the Compass a more assertive road presence.
Features & Interior Enhancements
Inside, the Track Edition retains the premium layout seen in the top S trim of the Compass range. It gains additional detailing to align with its sporty identity. The cabin features new new Tupelo leatherette upholstery with contrasting beige stitching, and Track Edition specific floor mats. Other than that, the equipment list of the S trim is retained. This includes a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay, 10.25-inch digital driver display, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, wireless charging, and electronically adjustable ventilated front seats with memory function. Safety features remain comprehensive, with six airbags, electronic stability control, hill-start assist, hill-descent control, a 360-degree camera, and a 5-star safety rating from Euro NCAP. While not radically different, these enhancements ensure the Track Edition stands out in terms of looks but continues to meet expectations for technology and comfort in its segment.
Performance & Powertrain
The new Track Edition continues with the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine, which delivers 168 HP and 350 NM of torque. This engine is paired with either a 6-speed manual or 9-speed automatic transmission and comes with Jeep’s Active Drive 4×4 system (only with AT). The SUV features multiple terrain modes including Auto, Snow, Sport, and Sand/Mud, allowing it to adapt to various driving conditions. The mechanical setup remains identical to the regular trims, meaning buyers can expect the same strong mid-range torque and refined performance. Jeep’s focus with this edition appears to be visual differentiation rather than mechanical changes.
Conclusion
At ₹26.78 lakh, the Jeep Compass Track Edition sits above the Model S trims in the SUV’s lineup. Earlier this year, Jeep had even introduced a Sandstorm Edition of the Compass. This positioning allows Jeep to target customers wanting exclusivity without compromising on the mechanicals. The Compass has been one of Jeep India’s consistent performers, accounting for a major share of its domestic sales. With this new edition, Jeep aims to sustain sales momentum during the festive season.
