2025 Jeep Compass: Availability
The 2025 Compass and Compass EV are set to launch in Europe first, but there's no official word on when they will arrive in India. However, they are expected to be available in India by 2026. Given the rising interest in hybrid and electric vehicles, Jeep's plans for these models could fit well with market demands.
The new third-generation Compass might give tougher competition to rivals such as the Hyundai Tucson, Tata Safari, Hector Plus, XUV 700, and its Stellantis sibling Citroen Aircross C5. In India, the current Jeep Compass is priced between Rs 18.99 Lakh and Rs 28.33 Lakh (ex-showroom).
