It can effortlessly smother any sort of rough surface.
Even over uneven or bumpy roads, the body stays stable and doesn’t bounce around much.

The Jeep Compass is the brand's most affordable off-roader money can buy in India. The Compass Model S(O) top model comes equipped with hill-descent control and a 4WD setup, as well as Jeep's Selec-Terrain system. It handles rough roads really well; the suspension is a bit firm, so you do feel some sharp bumps at low speeds. But that firmness also helps it glide over rough patches with ease, especially once you're going faster, states our Compass review. Ground clearance is rated at 208mm (unladen). Under the hood lies a 2-litre diesel engine that makes 170hp and 350Nm of torque. It's available with either a 6-speed manual or a 9-speed automatic gearbox; 4WD is only offered with the latter unit.
