Jeep will showcase the new Compass S at the upcoming 2019 Geneva Motor show. The manufacturer has revealed a set of images and a few details for this new variant. The Compass S boasts a two-tone finish – a Peal White exterior with a black roof – and new 19-inch Low Gloss Granite Crystal wheels. The Compass S also gets the same finish on the badges, grille, fog lamp surrounds and lower fascia. In terms of creature comforts and tech, the special edition model also comes with automatic high beams, a powered tailgate, adaptive cruise control, a Beats sound system and eight-way adjustable power seats.

Along with the Compass S, Jeep will also showcase the Renegade S and the Cherokee S at the 2019 Geneva motor show.

The Compass S for the European market will come with a range of diesel and petrol engine options mated to either manual or automatic gearboxes, depending on the configuration. While the new Jeep Compass S will first make its debut in Europe in the second quarter of this year, there is no news on an India launch for this variant.

Jeep, however, is working on introducing the Compass Trailhawk in the Indian market in the coming months.
