Jeep Compass and Meridian Prices Reduced in India

Jeep India has updated the pricing of its Compass and Meridian SUVs. Most of the trims have received a uniform price increase of Rs 35,000. However, both SUVs’ base variants feature a major price cut. The reason for the impact of this price change is due to the recent update given to the SUVs for the implementation of BS6 Phase II Emission Norms.

Jeep Compass: New Price

As you can see from the table above, prices for the Jeep Compass now start from Rs 20.99 lakh (ex-showroom). This makes the entry-level trim Rs 1.08 lakh cheaper than before. However, the Compass’ diesel variants have seen a price hike of Rs 35,000 instead. Prices for the petrol variants remain the same as before.
