Just four months after its staggered arrival began, Jeep Australia has raised the cost of most variants of the facelifted second-generation Compass small SUV.
While the entry-level Launch Edition is unchanged, at $37,950 plus on-road costs, the mid-range Limited and S-Limited, and flagship Trailhawk are now $400 more expensive, at $44,350, $47,350 and $51,650 respectively.
Speaking to CarsGuide, a Jeep Australia said no changes have been made to the Subaru XV, Kia Seltos, Nissan Qashqai and Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross rival’s standard specification, with “the usual external factors” instead behind the pricing adjustments.
For reference, the Launch Edition, Limited and S-Limited are powered by the same 129kW/230Nm 2.4-litre naturally aspirated petrol four-cylinder engine, while the Trailhawk steps up with a 125kW/350Nm 2.0-litre turbo-diesel unit.
The front-wheel-drive Launch Edition is mated to a six-speed torque-converter automatic transmission, while the all-wheel-drive Limited, S-Limited and Trailhawk instead have a nine-speed item.
As reported, the Compass’ facelift ushered in a revised exterior and an overhauled interior, with the latter headlined by the availability of a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.1-inch touchscreen multimedia system.
The small SUV also better caters for smartphones with not only wireless smartphone charging, but also wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.
