A new Polar White paint shade has also been introduced while there is Night Eagle badging at the rear.

The dark theme continues on the inside where the Jeep Compass Night Eagle gets a black headliner, a black dash fascia with chrome highlights, piano black accents, black seat upholstery with contrasting stitching and a black instrument cluster.

The Australian version gets a 10.1-inch touchscreen, a 7-inch instrument cluster display, wireless charging, keyless entry and push-button start, auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, auto high-beam and an electronic parking brake.
2022 Jeep Compass Night Eagle engine, specifications
In the Australian market, the Jeep Compass Night Eagle is powered by the 2.4-litre Tigershark petrol motor that pairs with a six-speed automatic, putting out 175PS. There is no AWD option. When the Night Eagle launches in India, expect it to be powered by the same set of engines as other Compass variants. This means a 1.4-litre turbo-petrol making 164PS and 250 Nm, pairing with a six-speed manual or seven-speed DCT. The more popular choice is the 2.0-litre diesel with 170PS and 350 Nm, paired with a nine-speed auto or a six-speed manual.
2022 Jeep Compass Night Eagle expected price, launch date India
The Jeep Compass Night Eagle is priced at the equivalent of Rs 22.34 lakh in the Australian market. When launched in India, expect it to be priced at a roughly Rs 50,000 premium over the Longitude variant. Prices for the Longitude variant of the Jeep Compass currently start at Rs 21.29 lakh for the diesel manual.
