Fiat Chrysler Automobiles officially revealed the Jeep Compass very recently and the vehicle is going to make its way to the Indian market in 2017. The Compass will be rolled out from Fiat’s Ranjangaon facility in Pune by mid-2017 and it will be priced attractively unlike the Grand Cherokee and Wrangler which got affected due to import duties.
