Jeep Compass spotted testing; is it the 1.3L Turbo Petrol version?

The 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine has already been used in the Renegade.

Jeep is said to be working on a new 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine for the Indian market. The new motor is expected to power the Compass SUV in a couple of years.

The 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine has already been used in the Renegade. However, it would have to be calibrated and homologated for the Indian market. That being said, the process might already be underway.

A camouflaged prototype of the Compass was recently spotted testing. It is probably being used as a test bed for the 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine. 

Jeep currently offers two versions of the 1.3-litre turbo-petrol unit. The 128 BHP version is mated to a 6-speed manual, while the 148 BHP version gets a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic.
