China, which owns one-third of the world's car market, is working on a timetable to end sales of fossil-fuel-based vehicles.
Fiat India Automobiles — the Tata Group-FCA joint venture that owns the manufacturing facility at Ranjangaon on the outskirts of Pune — is ramping up production.
The Compass off-roader (1400cc petrol engine and 2,000cc diesel) will be made at the company's plant at Ranjangaon in Pune, and will be followed up with a smaller SUV Renegade, which is likely to cost nearly Rs 10 lakh.
The customers can pre-book the SUV on the company’s official website or visit the nearest FCA or Jeep-exclusive showroom and place a pre-booking amount of Rs. 50,000.
The company said it has invested $280 million over the last two years to ramp up the plant to cater to the localised Jeep manufacturing. The company has a capacity to make 1,60,000 vehicles annually at the plant and it hopes to achieve 80% capacity utilisation by the end of the year at the plant.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will roll out the first ever 'Made in India' Jeep Compass production vehicle from the assembly line at Ranjangaon on Thursday, a company statement said.
Sales of cars, utility vehicles and vans increased more than 9% in fiscal 2017, show data released by companies. That was the fastest pace of expansion in seven years, and auto makers expect the momentum to gain strength this year with growth possibly crossing over to double digits.
The company has announced special discounts on a number of car-care jobs, select spare parts and labour as part of this week-long initiative before peak winter sets in.
Jeep can do very well in India. Obviously India is a very price-sensitive market and it also responds well to new launches and new technologies.
The most serious recall covers nearly 35,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs worldwide from the 2016 model year. All have 3.6-liter V6 engines. A fuel tube may have been damaged in manufacturing, and that could cause a gas leak and fire.
Mike Manley, head of the Jeep brand, which is part of the Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles’ (FCA) stable, said India is one of the “most critical” markets for the company as it looks at a greater and stronger push into emerging countries, including Brazil and China.
According to several people in the know of the plans, Fiat and Tata have been discussing sharing of a 2-litre diesel engine, which will be used in the Jeep Compass or a C segment Jeep, internally codenamed 556, as well as in a Tata Motors premium SUV codenamed Q5, which is under development.
Apart from India, the compact SUV is also produced in China, Brazil and Mexico, for consumers all around the globe.
The company claims that the Destination Stores - currently open in Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai - offer a 'fresh brand experience to customers' and is part of the Cohesive Network strategy of the company.
The Jeep Compass will be produced with 17 fuel-efficient powertrain options for consumers in more than 100 countries around the world, informed the company in a statement.
The cross-hatch will be available in three trims – Active (Rs 6.85 lakh), Dynamic (Rs 7.45 lakh), and Emotion (Rs 9.85 lakh, all prices ex showroom Delhi).
FCA will offer special discounts of up to 15% on spare parts and 15% discount on labour (only on mechanical repairs) along with 50 point free car check-up and free top wash.
Jeep models that will take on the likes of Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Hyundai Creta and Mahindra XUV.
The company has launched Grand Cherokee SRT at a price of Rs 11,207,825; Grand Cherokee Summit at Rs 10,339,919; Grand Cherokee Limited at Rs 9,364,527; and Wrangler Unlimited at Rs 7,159,104 (all prices ex showroom New Delhi).
