It’s the fourth time in 2022 that prices have been hiked for Jeep Compass; starting price is now Rs 20.89 lakh
Considering past trends, it is likely that Jeep Compass prices have been increased due to rise in input costs. High inflation has impacted most countries and there’s a significant increase in prices of auto components and raw materials. With the latest price hike, Jeep Compass is available in the price range of Rs 20.89 lakh to Rs 32.67 lakh.
Just two months back in September, Jeep Compass prices were increased by up to Rs 90k. At the start of this year, Jeep Compass base variant was priced at Rs 18.04 lakh. That’s a jump of more than Rs 3 lakh in a span of around 10 months. Similarly, top-spec Trailhawk diesel variant has witnessed cumulative price hike of around Rs 2 lakh in 2022.
Jeep Compass prices November 2022
Jeep Compass prices have been increased in the range of Rs 20k to Rs 1.80 lakh. Only exception is Sport diesel manual variant that will continue to be available at the earlier price of Rs 20.89 lakh. Highest price hike of Rs 1.80 lakh is in case of base-spec Sport petrol manual variant. New price is Rs 21.09 lakh.
Apart from Sport petrol, price increase of other variants is in the range of Rs 20k to Rs 45k. This is pretty modest, especially when viewed on a standalone basis. Jeep Compass Longitude and Night Eagle variants have become costlier by Rs 25k, whereas Limited and Anniversary Edition are priced Rs 40k higher.
Model S diesel manual variant will cost Rs 40k more, whereas its petrol automatic and diesel automatic 4×4 variants have become costlier by Rs 45k. A similar price hike is applicable on Trailhawk diesel AT 4×4 variant. Earlier this year in September, a uniform price hike of Rs 90,000 was introduced for select variants of Jeep Compass.
