Most Helpful Review

Poor distribution of Features across variants

Features are not well distributed across the variants... Between GX and VX there is 5 lakhs rupees difference.. Since G- SLF is only for fleet operators then one more variant in non hybrid could have been better with 1. SIX airbags, 2. Sunroof, 3. Touch screen and better music system 4. 360 camera.. 5. NO DRL To get a 6 airbags, Sunroof and other comfort features one has to go until ZX variant which is the downside. One more non-hybrid variant in that 5 lakhs gap could have given real competition to XUV, HECTOR, SAFARI etc.. So definitely it looks like XUV700 is still a better VFM and car for every budget...

Wonderful experience

A great driving experience I had with the Jeep Compass. Either off-road or smooth road, you will feel great comfort next to luxury. Smooth drive even on rough stretches. Loaded with a variety of features.
