Jeep Compass
₹17.99 Lakh onwards

The Jeep Compass is the entry point, a five seat diesel SUV with a 170 hp 2.0 litre engine and six airbags on every version. The three row Meridian uses the same diesel, seats seven on every trim except the Longitude, and adds ADAS on the Overland and Track Edition.
Above them sit two petrol SUVs. The Jeep Wrangler is a body on frame off roader with removable doors and roof, and the Rubicon adds locking differentials and a 4:1 crawl ratio. The Grand Cherokee flagship costs ₹63 Lakh and brings eight airbags, a head-up display and a screen for the front passenger.
Jeep cars in India suit buyers who want real off-road hardware and a well equipped cabin, and who accept a higher price for it. If you are shopping for a seven seater, put the Meridian against the Toyota Fortuner SUV before you decide. Then check the Meridian's on-road cost for your city.

Jeep is a niche, premium SUV brand in India, making up only a fraction of a percent of passenger vehicle registrations in August 2026. That reflects its small, high-priced range rather than the strength of the vehicles. It focuses on capable off-roaders like the Compass, Meridian and Wrangler. For a buyer, a Jeep rewards those who value genuine four-wheel-drive ability, but plan around the small network and steep depreciation.

Jeep cars: frequently asked questions
Which Jeep handles serious off-roading best?
The Wrangler, especially the Rubicon. Every Wrangler has full time four wheel drive, a 270 hp turbo petrol, four skid plates and removable doors and roof. The Rubicon adds Rock-Trac with a 4:1 crawl ratio, locking front and rear differentials, an electronic sway bar disconnect and mud terrain tyres. The Grand Cherokee has always engaged Quadra-Trac I and 533 mm of water fording. The Compass and Meridian offer 4x4 automatics on their upper trims, which suit trails and bad roads more than rock crawling.
Does Jeep sell a diesel SUV in India?
Yes, the Compass and the Meridian. Both use a 2.0 litre Multijet diesel rated at 170 hp and 350 Nm, with a 6 speed manual or a 9 speed automatic. On the Compass, 4x4 comes only on the Model S (O2) and Track Edition automatics. On the Meridian, it comes on the Limited (O), Trail Edition, Overland and Track Edition automatics. The Wrangler and Grand Cherokee are petrol only. For long highway runs and low fuel bills, the two diesels are the sensible Jeeps.
Is there a seven seater Jeep?
Yes, the Meridian. Every version except the five seat Longitude has seven seats, with a 50:50 split third row that folds flat. The cheapest seven seater is the Longitude Plus at ₹26.30 Lakh ex-showroom, and the range tops out at ₹38.26 Lakh. From the Limited (O) up, the second row slides and tilts forward, which makes the third row easier to reach. Jeep quotes a 481 litre boot for the seven seater. The Compass, Wrangler and Grand Cherokee all seat five.
How much does a Jeep cost, and which one is cheapest?
The Compass Sport is the cheapest Jeep at ₹17.99 Lakh ex-showroom, and the Compass range goes up to ₹30.95 Lakh. The Meridian costs ₹23.33 Lakh to ₹38.26 Lakh. The Grand Cherokee comes in one version at ₹63 Lakh. The Wrangler costs ₹66.20 Lakh for the Unlimited and ₹70.80 Lakh for the Rubicon. These are ex-showroom prices, and road tax at this level adds a lot, so check the on-road price for your city before you visit a dealer.
Why are the Grand Cherokee and Wrangler so pricey?
They are bigger, more specialised SUVs with far more hardware. The Grand Cherokee is Jeep's luxury flagship, with eight airbags, a head-up display, a passenger screen, heated and ventilated seats and Quadra-Trac I four wheel drive. The Wrangler is a body on frame off roader with full time four wheel drive, removable doors and roof, and on the Rubicon, locking differentials. Both use a 2.0 litre turbo petrol. Jeep builds both in India, so the price reflects the product rather than import duty.
What is the most fuel efficient Jeep?
The Compass, which Jeep rates at 17.1 km/l with front wheel drive, manual or automatic. The Meridian is next, with ARAI figures of 16.25 km/l for the manual, 15.69 km/l for the automatic and 14.92 km/l for the 4x4. The Wrangler is ARAI rated at 11.4 km/l as the Unlimited and 10.6 km/l as the Rubicon, and Jeep India gives no figure for the Grand Cherokee. If running cost matters, a front wheel drive Compass or Meridian diesel is the one to pick.
