Most Helpful Review

Extremely poor engine & clutch

I bought this car in 2020 and never imagined it to have a higher maintenance cost than a luxury car. The engine, clutch, and gear problems are persistent. The service team will never discuss the service history of your car, rather just mint money by making invoices. I have spent nearly 2L on the car on these issues and yet they say the clutch is a consumable part bound to be changed every 6 months. MG Motors you need to up the game to survive in India.

Best car in the segment and price

Comfort and boot space is good. best car in the segment. efficient engine, no lagging. it contains 6 airbags. power windows are provided in the base model as well. it had good boot space.

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.
