Overview

The 2025 Jeep Compass with the 2.0 L turbo powertrain positions the model as a more powerful choice within Sri Lanka’s premium compact SUV segment. Officially imported and supported by DIMO (Diesel & Motor Engineering PLC), this variant is positioned above smaller-displacement engine options offered in other Compass configurations, focusing on improved highway performance and towing capability. This version is likely to appeal to buyers prioritising performance and refinement within the compact SUV segment. The 2025 model pairs Jeep’s established design language with an 8-speed automatic transmission, offering a higher-output option within the Compass range.

Pros

Engine performance: The 200 hp output provides a substantial power reserve, making overtaking and steep climbs easier than with smaller‑engine variants.

Transmission smoothness: The 8‑speed automatic offers quicker and more intuitive gear shifts than the 9‑speed unit found in other configurations

Build quality: Owners frequently describe the chassis and body construction as solid, contributing to confidence at higher speeds

DIMO support: The authorised agent provides specialised diagnostic tools and factory‑trained technicians essential for maintaining the turbocharged powertrain

Resale value: Jeep’s brand reputation and authorised support network help maintain strong resale values in the Sri Lankan market

Off‑road capability: The Active Drive 4×4 system and Selec‑Terrain management provide improved traction for occasional off‑road use compared with typical urban crossovers

Cons

Fuel consumption: The larger displacement turbo engine prioritises power, which typically results in lower fuel economy figures during heavy city traffic

Rear Seat Space: Legroom in the second row is adequate but can feel tighter for tall adults compared to other SUVs in this price bracket

Turning radius: The vehicle has a relatively wide turning circle, which can require extra manoeuvres when parking in tight spots

Price bracket: The increased engine capacity places this model in a higher tax bracket, increasing the initial purchase cost

Premium fuel requirement: The 2.0 L turbo engine requires 95‑octane petrol to prevent knocking, which raises running costs compared with vehicles that can use regular fuel
