The Takeaway

  • Interested shoppers can reserve a unit immediately through authorised dealerships or by using the company website.
  • Customers must choose between Red, Green, White, and Black.
  • You can upgrade the cabin with an optional AXS Personalization Package to get factory-fitted dashcams and a digital interior mirror.

Jeep introduces the Compass 85th Anniversary Edition alongside a similarly themed Meridian model to celebrate a global corporate milestone.

Black Leatherette upholstery fills the cabin, offset by contrasting Mayan Gold stitching. Custom decals mark the doors and tailgate on the outside. It rides on 18-inch Gloss Black alloy wheels fitted with matching centre caps. The structural foundation remains identical to the standard car, preserving its 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating. Buyers opting for the AXS package also get enhanced Skylounge illumination. Jeep doesn’t alter the proven mechanical formula here.

The strict production cap sets the 85th Anniversary Edition apart from anything else currently sitting on showroom floors.

Running a diesel engine in regions like Delhi-NCR presents a challenge due to tight lifespan regulations. Shoppers needing a petrol motor must look at rival brands. The company discontinued its 1.4-litre turbo-petrol mill quite some time ago.

The Unboxed Truth

Unbox Daily HQ appreciates the exclusivity, but the powertrain strategy feels restrictive. Paying Rs 26.70 lakh places it right in the territory of premium three-row family cars. Forcing buyers into a heavy-duty fuel type limits appeal in major metropolitan areas with strict emission rules. You get a distinctive cabin and premium styling touches, but sacrificing petrol flexibility makes it a tough sell for pure city driving.

Best for: Brand loyalists seeking a rare factory custom.

Who Is This For: Premium SUV buyers aged 35 to 55.

How much does the Jeep Compass 85th Anniversary Edition cost in India, and how can you book one?

The Jeep Compass 85th Anniversary Edition starts at an ex-showroom price of Rs 26.70 lakh in India. Total production is strictly capped at just 85 units for the entire country. Customers can place bookings immediately through authorised dealerships or directly on the manufacturer’s official website.

What makes the Jeep Compass 85th Anniversary Edition different within its category?

The model stands out through its nationwide production limit of just 85 units and bespoke styling elements. It features Mayan Gold interior stitching, Black Leatherette upholstery, custom exterior decals, and 18-inch Gloss Black alloy wheels. An optional AXS package adds factory-fitted front and rear dashcams with a digital interior mirror.

Is the Jeep Compass 85th Anniversary Edition worth buying?

The vehicle is worth buying specifically for brand loyalists seeking rare factory-backed exclusivity. However, the lack of a petrol engine makes it a difficult choice for pure city commuters facing strict regional diesel restrictions. It delivers proven structural safety alongside unique interior finishes for buyers aged 35 to 55.
