Jeep Compass Night Eagle Black Theme
Jeep India has also announced the launch of a new variant to the Compass lineup. Called Night Eagle, this black themed Compass is now on sale across India. Mr Nipun J Mahajan, Head of Jeep Brand – India, said, “The Jeep Compass Night Eagle brings a new level of Boldness and Elegance with its all-black styling. The high demand for the Trailhawk, which was sold out in two months of launch, is testimony to the excitement for the Jeep Compass range and we expect to see similar enthusiasm for the Night Eagle.”
Night Eagle gets a gloss-black finish for the grille, grille rings, 18-inch alloy wheels, roof rail, ORVMs, fog lamp bezels, etc. Inside, this new Compass trim gets a piano black interior complemented by black cloth/vinyl seats with light tungsten stitching and black vinyl inserts for the door trim and IP. It is available with both petrol and diesel engine option.
