If you are money-minded, American and German products are not for you, go buy Asian products, come to this side only if you have a hunger for precision and performance.

I have been driving the Compass 4x4 S now for almost 3 years and had got it just after its mid life update. Over these 3 years (almost 50k) I have taken it to the most remotest of places in the country and some of the most challenging off roads as well. The advice from friends and people in general after seeing the car and proposition of doing these routes is of apprehension- “luxury car hai, kharab ho jayegi” but trust me, this SUV is so real that it can move mountains on a Sunday and then when you go back to your metropolitan life on Monday, is one of the smartest and most comfortable cars in any corporate car parks. Long highway rides are simply DNA for this vehicle and rarely have I felt any fatigue on my regular by monthly run to my hometown 650kms away. Truly outstanding. It’s a lot of money but it’s for that quality and safety. I have the green colour and I call it a tank, it probably is one. 😊 Places visited- Laddakh, Nelong, Manali, Munsiyari, Kashmir, Chitkul, Darma, Binsar, Spiti, Harshil, Chanshal, Sankri, etc etc etc

Many people are complaining about the pauses and pace in the speech of the Kartikeya Sir, however, that's an identity marker of the Motorinc, especially Motorinc View and that's how it differentiates from Motorinc First. As a linguist, I can't really explain how important those pauses are, how it has certain kind of effect on the listner / viewer in this case. The content feels something not from the herd of sheep.

We own the facelift compass. It has been an absolutely amazing experience for the past 3 years. I’ve done 12 hour drives to my native place so many times on it. It is a perfect highway cruiser. Even took it mild off-road, walks through it with ease. In terms of service it’s been a mixed experience. Basic maintenance and scheduled services are a breeze. But if any specific work is there then first it is a little on the expensive side and secondly it took some time to get the car back. Coming from the old fortuner the service part was something that felt inferior for sure. But all in all a must try if anyone is looking in this price range and travels long frequently.

I bought this brand new for 36k and had to sell it for 20k in just two years. It’s a shit box that’s drives amazing.

Bought a Compass in 2022. I fall in love with the car every time I get behind the wheel. It's heavy on the wallet to run since I have a Petrol model and the service is expensive, but boy oh boy, it's worth every penny. Driving it on the highway instantly puts a grin on my face and honestly, it's not bad in the city. This is probably the best driving experience a compact SUV can offer south of Q3 / X1.

Heya Vineet! Thanks for sharing that with us!

In my ownership of my 2019 compass limited plus 4x4 diesel manual, the extended warranty has been the true MVP. The car requires frequent maintenance and maintenance is (very) expensive. Parts are expensive, wait times are long, and the labour is expensive-er still. It's a high quality product which rewards the keen driver, highlights the ignorant and complacent ones. You have to pay attention. There are rattles from the panaromic sunroof and the dashboard. The car is surprisingly competent in mud and sand. The sharp 18" alloys are eye-catching but limits AT tire options. Not the most easy in the city. The clutch is heavy and can catch new drivers with its engagement. Solid package for luxury seeking adventurous people.

What a beautifully shot video. Presentation and the information shared are topnotch as always. This made my day as a Compass owner and I wholeheartedly agree to all the positives and negatives shared. I bought my Compass MT back in 2021 when the face-lift was announced. XUV 700 wasn't launched back then and he only other cars I had considered were Harrier and Tucson (pre face lift). One long test drive is all it took for me to fall in love. I knew I what I was getting into. Car is an emotion for lot of us and Compass may not be "value for money" but it'll keep you happy for a decade. You'll be smiling even on days where you have covered a thousand kilometres. I know design is a personal preference but I feel design of the Compass is timeless and classy and will not feel outdated any time soon.

I have a ‘22, so no turbo. And that’s what i was saying about mine, not much for city driving, and more for the outdoors. I live in Canada, and i love this car in the winter. Driving through a snow storm is something else. Also, no problems at all, maybe I’m just lucky, but hopefully it can stay that way. But Jeep has been proving to me that I made a good choice.

This is the most alluring automobile review I've ever heard ❤ Jeep life is the sweet life. No words can describe it. Let me still try... Jeep represents more than just a mode of transportation-it's a lifestyle, a symbol of independence, and a testament to the spirit of adventure. With it's iconic design, legendary capability, and enduring legacy, Jeep continues to inspire. Rugged yet stylish exterior, generous ground clearance, well appointed cabin with comfortable seating, high quality materials, touchscreen infotainment with wireless Apple Car Play and Android Auto, and the rest are physical buttons (easy to operate). What more could an enthusiast ask for? It's worth every penny. Though it has it's cons too, but everything can be ignored when you LOVE someone. I am living the Jeep life. Cheers!!

Love this new channel. Shear pleasure. Nice keep it up.😊

Almost a year ago CarExpert(Australia) did an off-road test comparing various cars and found that Compass (trail hawk) chassis is not rigid.

Thanks for that update! We didn’t test its off-road capabilities specifically as in our experience most people are not going to go dune-bashing with it. But, that’s an idea now…

I own a 2022 Compass Petrol Limited (O). And yes, it is pricey. We were considering other options like the Kushaq and Seltos and it was a big jump in price in comparison. But we looked at it this way. My family owns and uses each car for 8-10 years at least. Over those 10 years, the price difference seems less of a burden. And we get a better built, better quality and overall better feeling car for those 10 years. As for the service, we have been Fiat owners for the past 12 years, and we were lucky enough to have a friendly, prompt service centre close to our home. So the service experience has been quick and hassle free, a bit pricey though. If you have a good service centre near your home, you're gold. If not, may god give you the patience of finding and dealing with one. This has been the case with all Fiat / Jeep products though. Great products, but anything after the initial purchase has been a gamble.

Hello SS! The engines will feel the same in both. The creta’s advantage is better backseat comfort. The Kia’s advantage is the cooler looking cabin. You could pick either, easily. Hyundai seems to tune their suspension a bit better compared to the Seltos - so without having driven their updated versions together it is hard to say for sure - but it is safe to assume the Creta would be a it more comfortable because of that too. Keep us posted please!

Great review. All relevant facets are well covered. I have been driving my 6.5 years old diesel JC for more than 1.07lakh km. Mostly highway driving. Fuel efficiency is 17-18 kmpl when you drive within speeds of 80-110 kmph. Pricing was attractive when it was launched. When you drive a Jeep, it's not about the destination. It's about the journey.

Kartikeya sir, this has been an absolutely brilliant video, couldn't agree more to every single point mentioned. As someone who has a Compass in the family, each aspect of this review hit the mark! The Compass is definitely NOT a city car, the engine simply isn't suited for it. Moreover, it gets really rough over time. I have a 2021 Compass manual in the Limited trim, and the car really does struggle in heavy traffic. But once you hit the highway, it's a completely different story because that engine just opens up and drops heaps of power and torque that make cruising simply lovely. Furthermore, the interior experience described by you is 100% accurate, the cabin is creepily quiet, bar the tires, they are a pain for sure, and some of the first batches of the 21' Compass did have issues with them in the start. However, they do last long and can handle some light off-roading. As for safety, my family and I couldn't really ask for more because the car has everything we need! 6 airbags, ESP, TC, the works, and the renowned chassis and frame. As for the suspension, my goodness it's rough at low speeds but it makes a full 180 when the car goes above say, 50 kph, and then the experience is terrific. Unfortunately, Jeep's after-sales experience is a joke, my car has gone in at least 5 times now, some for routine checkups, and some for manufacturing issues. All i'll say is that it may or may not be a deal-breaker if someone is considering buying the Compass for sure. But yes, apologies for the humongous comment. Thank you for this review, keep it up, and I can't wait to see more!!

The DSG and the overall design coupled with product knowledge of VW team changed our decision in favour of Taigun GT +.

i found my compass manual Diesel 4x4 LP purpose on day one it's 2019 model manual ( loves to drive in Bangalore traffic too ) did 1L plus Km and proud of it your video shared in my family group and it was a drop folks who use to say bla bla bla bla all slient ! thank you for being our voices regarding services I have multiple option in banagalore outside of the showroom and guess what did stage 1 tuning as well and happy to see it touces 210+ kmph without hassle

Driving a Compass Petrol since 2019 and I agree with the views of MotorInc. Is it Expensive? Very. Is it Reliable? No. Is the Customer Service Experience Good? As far as I can speak for Landmark Jeep based in Delhi, HELL NO. But is it damn good to drive? HELL YEAH. And that pretty much sums the Compass. To anyone buying it, if you take your car out on the highways often, this is the car for you. For everyone else, there are other options in the market they can explore. Thanks MotorInc for this amazing video, Cheers. And Eid Mubarak to you guys.

Eid Mubarak to you and the fam too! And, thank you.

Have been driving the 2021 facelift, model s 4x4, and it’s a pure joy to drive on the highways, rough roads or no roads. I never got stuck anywhere, despite extremely heavy rains last year in Himachal, when I had water inside the car, it kept going, only to malfunction (electrics) after I reached home 12 hours later. And frankly I find it easy to drive in city traffic as well or maybe that’s because I am used to it by now. Only 2 downsides however, firstly, too many punctures. Even after shifting from Bridgestone to Pirelli scorpion (don’t know if it’s a car issue, Indian roads issue or my luck issue). Secondly, nearest service station is 60 km away. Everything else is very good in this car and it’s a very tough little SUV.

😊crisp and crystal clear presentation🎉

Thanks for the kind words @drstrange866. We'll pass your compliments on to the team. How's things on multiverse 866?

Been driving A 2.0 Diesel for little over past 2 yrs. An MT. And by far the most stable and fun drivers SUV on Indian Highways. So So much fun to take it to my hometown back in Delhi and Jaipur from Banglore. And so many times, with the entire family. 2 adults and 2 dogs. They all love it. More over, she has gone to happy trails to Sikkim, entire circuit, and Leh. And she is the only Compass in India which was driven to Leh Circuit with only a human and a dog companion. No fuss, no drama. Ate the Himalayan terrain like it’s a routine course. Complete blogs there on Team BHP. And mine isn’t even a 4x4. The capabilities of 4x2 are beyond what one will use for 95% of their lifetime. If you are a highway muncher.. and love getting out this is the best car you will thoroughly enjoy. Costly, yes, spares and services costly, may be. Satisfaction index… a 100%, highway mannerism, top notch. And for the city too, the reason to pick this against the bigger fortunes and endeavours is the more manageable size. I do city commute too and she’s much manageable there too. So in my span of 2 yrs and so, my 2.0 MT D had been a peach. And many more long distances to cover. Don’t think too much… just Get Out !! 😂

Hullo US! Thanks so much for pitching in. You are the first petrol owner in the comments. We think 😃. Happy to know you are happy with it. How’s the service been?

Clearly there are mixed opinions about the presenter's speaking styles but this is how most experienced orators speak on the subject they an expert at. It may feel different when these 2 talk with each other in something like Motorinc First but that is only because it's more conversation oriented and I doubt there is a script involved which gives more freedom and relaxation. But in something like this or Spark for instance where the presenter speaks directly at the camera there is definitely a script involved and in order to ensure that the said words are delivered properly our mind subconsciously makes us more careful while adapting to the way we want to speak. Pauses are the way to show the importance of the point anyway. Every presenter does that. Some more than the others and at different paces but everyone does. Thank you Motorinc.

Hullo SM! Agreed… the sense of quality is very German.

The experience that Compass offers is not in the features but in the feels of a car, the moment you close the gate you feel the acoustic glass doing it's work all the external noise is muffled the feel of the soft plastics all around the interior, perfect leather stitching and when you are on the highway it just feels so planted in comparison XUV while having a softer suspension Xuv was all over the place and a bit scary, so the price i think is worth it as the ride quality of Compass compares to BMW , Mercedes level but at half the price and the best thing is that it's Made in India. Service experience is good for people living in major cities just tell them to do a basic service and don't let them add unwanted stuff that is not required.

Have a Model S , same version but manual. Incredible cabin experience. Compass lives 120% to the tagline: Go Anywhere, Do Anything! Never had to think twice about - can we do this road, hill, incline, ditch or city road. Its actually quite good in bad traffic as well. Last 1 year in Bangalore city and its handled the traffic like a it does the offroad. Pure experience. Only challenge- Jeep has one of the worst service experiences, especially in the city of Pune

Thanks for letting us know Harsh!

Cars have become expensive....my pre face-lift 2020 Oct 4x4 Manual Diesel top end cost me 27.11 on rd Mumbai n that was 3.7 lacs over the Harrier then because this was also a 4x4....Totally worth it and a great experience so far with 60k on the odo

I own the 2022 Compass Petrol Limited, and have driven roughly 30k kms, where majority has been the highway. Its a drivers car. Steering feel is unmatched. The stability on the road is unmatched. Suspension, better than many of the peers... and the kick you get when you press your foot down on the pedal!! Some people do compare prices with the Seltos and Creta, but i personally feel the facelifted version of 2021 is a true gem. The exterior although simple and similar to the previous, still looks better than 3 generation upgrades of a lot of competitors :) The interiors is something which many car manufacturers are loosely copying with those straight line running through. The touch and feel is always premium and no tacky switches. In the limited, the 360 camera and TPMS is missing, however i never felt the need for that. Having said that, the after sales is not good, especially in certain cities. Parts are moderately expensive.. But then..nobody would buy a Compass for 'kitna deti hai'.. isnt it?

I have few questions to Compass owners. 1. How’s passengers comfort? 2. What about rattling noise? 3. How hard is clutch for the tight traffic cities like Bengaluru? One more question to car enthusiasts. How about buying a good sedan ? Is ground clearance for Indian roads is still a concern?

@somsuvrabose

@@ManoharRR 1. Passenger comfort - the seats are good quality leather seats with a little hard cushioning, if you compare to Harrier, Seltos. The rear seats have two protruding parts just near the underthigh which helps a lot for the underthigh support. Enough space between legs and front seats. Four people very comfy. 5 can also manage. 2. Rattling noise - thats something not every jeep owner experiences. It was a problem with certain 2021 models. Ive read a lot on the forums that people did a lot of felt linings inside and near the wiring to reduce/ get rid of that. 3. I own a DCT 7 speed, so cant say much about the clutch. What i have heard is its moderately hard. Hope that helps ! :)

Can you guys do a video on Hector? Ik people say it's mileage and all but it's a really a great car and only you can actually tell people apparently cuz us owners can't make descriptions like you

Even though the video is all about diesel engine, for me, petrol engine is much quieter and never have left any scarcity of power or eagerness to achieve 3 digit speeds. In love with it madly. ❤ And for all of my colleagues, friends who criticized my decision in 2019, my only answer was that I have bought it for highways and not for the city and they all laughed it off....thanks for Karthik that he reinforced my thought. Thank you...😊

Current Compass owner and ex skoda owner.Surprisingly compass is a reliable yet very costly vehicle to maintain. Service cost past 1lakh kms is min 40K, but it doesn’t break down like the skoda i had used.extremely well built except for slight body roll.I would still say that Toyota is a better option overall

The Compass is just a beast from another world, atleast the pre-facilifted one felt like it. With the facelift, I'm kinda reading a lot about the reliability concerns, which wasn't the case with the prefacelift version. Just do, let me know your thoughts on this guys. Mind you, I still am a huge fan of the Compass.

You’re awesome again ! When I bought my Compass Petrol top variant Pre face lift, they said it was the best deal for urban users which it was ! And they removed it
