Limited (O) or Model S (O2), and what each costs
Where you start
Limited (O)
₹24.83L ex-showroom Delhi
Rs 1.20 lakh over the Longitude (O2) manual buys 18in alloys, LED tail lamps, rain-sensing wipers, a power tailgate and a memory driver's seat. The catch is that Jeep only prices it as a manual, so there is no cruise control on this trim at any price, and no automatic to move up to without changing trim entirely.

The step up
Model S (O2)
From ₹26.70L to ₹30.70L ex-showroom Delhi
The one to have if the budget reaches: projector LED headlamps, a 10.2in digital cluster, nine Alpine speakers, ventilated front seats, power for both front seats and the 360 camera nothing below it gets. It is also the only Compass sold with 4x4, and that costs Rs 1.94 lakh over the front-drive automatic.
Our take
₹1.87L more buys 360° camera and Alpine premium sound system
What Limited (O) to Model S (O2) costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹2,00,090 to ₹2,30,010 on the road, against the ₹1,87,000 the price list shows.
Why the road figure moves, and by how much
Road tax is charged on what the car costs, so moving up a trim moves the tax up with it. The ₹1,87,000 is the distance between two price tags; the road figures add the tax and the charges that difference attracts.
The rate is your state's to choose, and they do not choose alike, so this one step is worth ₹29,920 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Gujarat, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram are level at the lowest, and Kerala comes out highest.
Only the rate where the car is registered applies to you, so hold a dealer's quote against your own state's figure rather than the range. The range is still worth knowing: it is why two owners can quote this step to each other, differ by ₹29,920, and both be right.
