The SUV segment is growing rapidly in India and keeping this in mind, Jeep is also preparing to take a big step. According to reports, the company is working on a new compact SUV, which can give direct competition to popular cars like Hyundai Creta. This new SUV will fall in the segment below the Compass and is being designed especially keeping the Indian customers in mind. Let us know in detail.

Design and styling of the new Jeep SUV

The look of this upcoming Jeep SUV can be quite attractive and powerful. It is being said that its design will be inspired by Jeep Avenger, in which the company’s signature strong and boxy style will be seen. However, its size will be kept compact so that it can run easily in cities. This SUV is being made mainly for urban use, but it will also have the special strength and road presence of Jeep.

Engine and Performance

Talking about the engine, this new SUV can be given a turbo petrol engine at the entry level, which is also used in the Citroen C3 Aircross. Apart from this, the company can also provide 1.5 liter turbo petrol engine in it, which will give more power and better performance. This engine is also likely to be used in Jeep Compass. However, the company has not yet officially shared its complete information.

What will be special in the platform and features?

This new SUV can possibly be built on the platform of C3 Aircross, but its design and features will be completely different. Jeep will try to make it more premium and advanced. It is expected to have modern interior, big screen, connectivity features and better safety. The company wants to launch this SUV in a segment where there are already many strong players.

Launch timeline and company strategy

Jeep has already hinted that it will launch a new SUV by 2027. This model will be very important for the company in India, because the new model of Compass will not be launched here. In such a situation, this new SUV can play a big role in increasing the sales of the company. This car will make its place above the C3 Aircross and between models like Creta.

Will it be able to compete with Creta?

Let us tell you that Hyundai Creta is one of the strongest cars in this segment, but Jeep’s brand name and strong image can give a different identity to this new SUV. If it gets a good engine, better features and the right price, then it can become a big challenge for Creta.
