The Harrierಌ a🍒nd the Compass share Fiat’s 2.0-litre MultiJet diesel engine and a 6-speed manual.
The Harrier’s diesel engine make🌟s 140PS and 350Nm i🐽n its current state of tune.
Jeep’s Compass diesel is rated at 173PS and 350♍Nm.
The Harrier is heavier than the Compass.
It is common knowledge that the 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine underneath the bonnet of the Harr😼ier has been sourced from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (ဣFCA). And it is the same engine that is also present in the Jeep Compass, where it makes 173PS compared to the 140PS it makes in the Harrier. So some people might be scratching their heads as to why that is.
The 2.0-litre MultiJet diesel engine from Fiat is available in two states꧑ of tune globally. The Harrier gets the lower state of tune, which is essentially offered with FCA's Jeep Renegade൩. The India-spec Compass gets the higher state of tune. However, a more powerful Harrier is in the works and our sources suggest, it will make close to 180PS of power. That’s more power than the Jeep Compass and it will be needed as the Harrier is heavier than the Compass. It weighs 1675kg, which is 91kg more than the Compass.
It is not confirmed what use the more powerful engine will have. It could be plonked into the 7-seater variant of the Harrier that will be launched in India by the end of 2019. Alternatively, it could also spawn off a JTP variant of the regular 5-seater Harrier. Both the🃏se scenarios could also be true.
Also, the 5-ꦛseater variant of the Harrier currently on sale has a waiting period of up to three months.
