Jeep Compass To Launch Diesel-Automatic Car In Nepal

Jeep Compass marked its debut in Nepal 2 years back and the SUV recently got a diesel-automatic variant in the form of the Compass Trailhawk. This variant of the car is priced at 26.80 lakh in India but the price is not yet confirmed in Nepal. The high price tag surely has disappointed a lot of buyers who were hoping for an affordable diesel AT variant. As per the latest details available, the company is expected to launch a cheaper diesel-automatic variant of Compass by the end of this year.

Like the recently launched Trailhwak variant, the upcoming Jeep Compass model will also be BSVI-compliant with a 2.0-litre diesel engine, which is good enough to produce 173 HP of maximum power along with 350 Nm of peak torque. There will be a 9-speed torque converter automatic gearbox like the Trailhawk version.

However, there is still a doubt whether the diesel-automatic configuration will be available only on the Limited Plus variant or on mid-spec variants as well. Also, there are chances that the diesel-AT is likely to be available only with the front-wheel-drive models, to keep 4×4 exclusive for the Trailhawk variant.
