The new Trailhawk will see significant updates both inside and out along, with an improved four-wheel-drive system
The most affordable model in the Jeep India lineup currently, the Compass SUV is available in both front and rear-wheel drive variants. But for an SUV maker known across the globe for manufacturing some of the most durable and offroad-ready vehicles that could tackle any terrain with ease, a softroader Crossover is kind of an embarrassment.
So to keep those Indian buyers happy who do not mind getting their vehicles dirty, Jeep introduced the more hardcore trail-friendly Compass Trailhawk in 2019.
- The upcoming Compass Trailhawk will have an advanced four-wheel-drive system
- It will be priced at a premium over the standard Compass variant on offer
- The Compass Trailhawk will use the Compass’ 170PS 2-litre diesel engine with 9-speed automatic transmission
The SUV maker decided to discontinue the model after launching the Compass facelift in 2021. Now after a gap of almost a year, the American automaker is ready to have the SUV re-join its portfolio.

So here are five things you can expect from the upcoming 2022 Jeep Trailhawk.
- The upcoming Jeep Trailhawk will get a revised front fascia. The most noticeable change will include redesigned LED headlamps, DRL’s and fog lamps. The reworked bumpers also mean that the Compass Trailhawk will have better approach and departure angles. The additional ground clearance will add more water wading capability to this Compass variant wearing the Trailhawk badge.
- The Compass Trailhawk will also feature underbody skid plates for better protection. It will also get a different color option, with a signature black decal on the hood.
- To make sure that this SUV is a trail happy machine, the Compass Trailhawk gets new heavy-duty alloy wheels and all-terrain tyres. Hopefully, the updated model will feature a two hook at the front, unlike the last model.
- Expect the updated Jeep Trailhawk variant to feature some noticeable upgrades inside the cabin. The upcoming Compass Trailhawk will get a new steering wheel design and a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with the latest connected car technology. It will also feature a fully digital 10.25 instrument cluster.
- The SUV will get the 2.0 litre diesel engine under the hood churning out 170 Bhp of peak power. The diesel mill paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission will send that power to all four corners.
Jeep currently has only two models in their portfolio including, the Compass and the Wrangler SUV.
The Jeep Compass Trailhawk variant will sit above the top-end Compass variant on offer.The top-end model S (O) variant currently retails at Rs 29.34 lakhs (ex-showroom).

Almost all of their sales come from their Compass SUV.
Jeep managed to sell 1,052 units of the Compass in December 2021 compared to 916 units of the same model in 2020, resulting in a growth of almost 123 percent. We believe that the Jeep Compass Trailhawk will further help enhance the four-wheeler makers’ growth in India.
