Jeep has now launched a limited special edition for Compass to
celebrate 3 years in the Indian market. Prices for the Night Eagle Edition
start at INR 20.14 lakh* in India. The edition was first introduced three years
ago in the Brazilian market before it made its way to last year’s Geneva Motor
Show.
One of the major highlights of the Night
Eagle Edition is the car’s blacked-out bits on the exteriors as well as the
interiors. The new limited edition is based on the Longitude Plus trim of the
SUV. On the outside, it gets a blacked-out grille, a special badging, window
surrounds, and roof railed all painted in black. The new Jeep Compass Night
Eagle Limited Edition sits on the same set of 18-inch wheels which, as one can
guess, are also black.
The car gets blacked-out
elements on the inside as well. This includes a bespoke part leather/part
fabric seat upholstery; and black accents around the AC vents, infotainment
system and steering wheel. The list of features remain the same with an
8.4-inch UConnect touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple
CarPlay, dual-tone roof, LED tail lamps, panoramic sunroof and auto-dimming
inside rear-view mirror.
The car is based on the Longitude Plus
variant of the car which means on offer are two powertrain options. Customers
can choose between a 1.4-litre turbo petrol engine that outputs 162 PS and 250
Nm of torque and a 2.0-litre diesel engine that delivers 173 PS and 350 Nm of
torque. The petrol variant comes mated to a single 7-speed DCT option while the
diesel can be availed in either 6-speed manual transmission or a 9-speed
automatic unit.
The 1.4-turbo petrol variant kicks things
off at INR 20.14 lakh*. The diesel variant with manual transmission comes in at
INR 20.75 lakh* while the automatic variant can be bought at INR 23.31 lakh*.
