on


EURO NCAP recently tested a left-hand drive Jeep Compass and has given the latest SUV from the American carmaker a five-star rating. The SUV scored 90 per cent in the area of adult protection and 83 per cent in the area of child protection.

The top spec  4x4 Limited variant of the Jeep Compass also received a 64 per cent rating for pedestrian protection. The car that EURO NCAP tested was a left-hand drive model and is slightly different from the model of the Compass that is sold in India.



For starters, the left-hand drive Compass gets 8 airbags on the while the right-hand drive variant that is sold in India only gets 6 airbags on the top model. The build quality of the two is however identical and the crumple zones are identical in both models. The left-hand drive variant also gets autonomous braking, something that is not present on the Indian variant of the Compass.


The Jeep Compass will be a big car for FCA India as it is the mass-market vehicle that will rake in the volumes for the American carmaker. Since its launch, it has already garnered 10,000 bookings.
