With not so good third row and just a 2l Compass engine it looks more like just an extended compass than a proper suv to go against the fortuner
@bhavinvithlani2 жыл бұрын
Common grouse for Compass was cramped second row and small trunk which deters long road trips for families. Meridian solves it, but takes away the fun element from driving. Autocar has best car reviews, it’s apt for what a prospective consumer is looking for. I suggest you start covering Air conditioning as well for such large cars. As a user of Skoda Superb the AC stops working in summers after an hour of drive - a problem prevalent for over two years now and unsolvable by various authorised service centres.

Honestly, going by the specifications I don't think this is a competition to the Fortuner. I think this falls more to XUV 7OO and Safari territory.

I own a VW Passat I face the same issue and even Audi Q3 A4 BMW 3 series X1 few more premium cars in market they are not safe to drive at night. Please shoot videos at nights and Do make review on that as well.

It will be great success if jeep don't compete with fortuner, fortuner is king in his segment, and its specs more lean to xuv 700 category but more premium, that conclude jeep should tag very aggressively and smartly, later when it will get some presence then they should come with more power to compete with the legend.

Well! It is always difficult to compete against Japanese Car makers (TOYOTA/HONDA), especially "Toyota" - This brand has swept North and South America's car market with huge margin, for an instance in North America 60% of cars on the road road belongs to either Toyota/Honda (Toyota's another luxury brand called "Lexus" - it has prevailed the best luxurious, reliable, & eventually good ownership experience when compared to German brands(BMW/Mercedes/Audi) ); When you talk about Jeep in North America then the perception is that this is one of the Off-road vehicle which is not reliable and bad ownership experience. If you are buying a Car at India then I would always suggest to go for "Toyota/Honda" - they make impeccable cars and will lost for long without ripping-off your pockets.
