Jeep India has updated its website, with the teaser of the facelifted Compass in a new green color shade. The Jeep Compass facelift for India will be revealed on January 7, 2021. This comes only a few months after the Compass facelift’s international debut, which brought refreshed interiors and exteriors. The facelifted Compass will get revised headlights with integrated LED DRLs, an updated seven-slat grille with honeycomb-like inserts, a new front bumper with a tweaked faux skid plate, and a larger air dam with new fog light housings. The SUV also gets new alloy wheels. Besides these changes, there will be no other major differences to the side and rear of the SUV.

The facelift will bring big changes to the interior. The new Compass gets a restyled dashboard with a new floating 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and new AC vents and HVAC controls that are positioned below it. The new touchscreen will come with FCA’s UConnect 5 infotainment system and is likely to feature integrated Amazon Alexa support, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto support, and receive over-the-air (OTA) updates.

While the Compass facelift comes with new engines in international markets, the model in India will carry forward its current powertrains. That means it will come with the same 2.0-liter diesel engine making 173hp and 350Nm of torque, along with the 1.4-liter turbo-petrol engine producing 163hp and 250Nm of torque, as the outgoing model. Both engines come with a six-speed manual as standard. The petrol-powered Compass gets the option of a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic while the diesel gets a nine-speed torque converter auto option.
