Jeep Compass Trailhawk Launched

The Jeep Compass Trailhawk update has been launched in India. Priced at ₹30.72 lakhs (Ex-Showroom), the Compass Trailhawk is Jeep's hardcore off-road-focused Compass variant. The standard Jeep Compass originally had a Trailhawk version in India for its pre-facelift variant. However, after the launch of the facelifted Compass, the Trailhawk variant didn't make its appearance until now. Read on for more information on the new Jeep Compass Trailhawk in India.

 

In the Looks Department

The Compass Trailhawk is an off-road-focused variant of the Jeep Compass and gets certain differentiations in light of that, focused on its purpose. 

Cosmetic updates to the Jeep Compass Trailhawk include a different bumper setup front and rear for better approach and departure angles suited to its off-road purpose. It also gets sporty accents and a new alloy wheel design. The Compass Trailhawk even retains its sporty red accents and red tow-hook on the rear.

Cosmetically, the Trailhawk is sportier than its standard sibling. The exterior gets black and red accents, with red and black accents on the hood as well, and "trailhawk" lettering.

 

More Off-Road

While the standard Compass sticks to its SUV roots and gets certain off-road capabilities, the Trailhawk takes it a step further. While both cars benefit from off-road modes, the Trailhawk also gets a Rock mode that the standard Compass doesn't have. The Trailhawk also gets higher suspension and 17" inch alloys rather than 18" inch ones. The Trailhawk also benefits from underbody protection.

 

Off-Road in a Couch

The interior of the Trailhawk gets a similar overhaul as the Compass facelift. Expect a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and voice recognition features. The cabin is likely to get a sportier steering wheel, ventilated seats, a 360-degree camera and more bells and whistles.

 

Inside the Trailhawk

The Trailhawk is based on the Compass's top-end variant. But unlike the standard Compass, the Trailhawk gets only a diesel-powered variant. The Compass Trailhawk also gets a four-wheel-drive system with Jeep's SelecTerrain that enables the car to have features such as Rock mode and Hill Decent mode. Powering the Trailhawk is a 2.0-litre Multijet turbocharged diesel mill married to a nine-speed automatic gearbox only. The heart of the beast can put down 170PS and 350Nm of torque.

 

A Pure Premium SUV

The Jeep Compass Trailhawk is priced at ₹30.72 lakhs (Ex-Showroom). The Trailhawk competes with the likes of the Audi Q7, BMW X3, C5 Aircross and other premium SUVs in India. For more information about the Jeep Compass Trailhawk, such as its on-road price and more, check out autoX's price section.
