India’s SUV Market is turning out to be a global war zone for Automakers around the globe. The SUV segment has become the apple of every automaker's eye. Keeping up with the trend, Jeep, a recent entrant into the Indian Automobile market, is all set to add a new variant to its list of Jeep Compass offerings. Recent leaks reveal that Jeep India may introduce a new variant of its popular Compass line up by as early as Dussehra this year. Christened as the Compass Limited Plus the new entrant will be the 11th member of the Jeep Compass India family. Reportedly, the current Compass variants come in two engine and two gearbox options. Jeep has been quite upbeat and aggressive in its approach. Just a few days back it had announced the Compass Black Pack edition.
