The Compass delivers a punchy 168 bhp petrol engine paired with a 350 Nm torque figure that feels responsive in real-world driving. At ₹17.99 lakh, it's a well-rounded compact SUV with six airbags, ventilated seats, and 6 key tech features—though it misses out on ADAS and a sunroof, which rivals in this segment increasingly offer.
