Jeep India has added a nine-speed automatic gearbox to the entry-level Sport variant of the Compass. The new Compass Sport AT is priced at Rs 21.99 lakh, ex-showroom, and uses the familiar 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine. With this launch, the automatic transmission is now available from the base trim of the SUV. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in the second week of November 2026.
The new variant costs Rs 3.70 lakh more than the Sport manual, which is priced at Rs 18.29 lakh, ex-showroom.
