Jeep India has quietly discontinued the Compass’s entry-level petrol sport manual variant. The base sport petrol trim is now only available with an automatic transmission, while the diesel-manual trim is still available. The reason for the discontinuation is most likely the variant’s low demand in the Indian market.

The 1.4-litre MultiAir turbocharged petrol engine in the Jeep Compass Sport petrol manual produced 160bhp and 250Nm of torque. A six-speed manual transmission accompanied the engine. The SUV now has the same engine, but it is paired with a seven-speed DCT automatic transmission that sends power to the front wheels.
