In Brazil, the 2022 facelifted Jeep Compass model made a significant move by introducing flex-fuel technology, and this strategy continues to be a key part of their lineup. Having followed the updates, I’ve seen how Jeep cleverly offers two distinct turbo engine variants to cater to different buyers. The Lower variants are powered by the 1.3-litre T270 unit, which has been a flex-fuel engine since it was first introduced. For those seeking more power, the top-spec Blackhawk trim is where things get interesting. This version received an updated 2.0-litre turbo engine.

As someone who’s followed the auto industry for years, Ford’s journey in India has always been fascinating, marked by dramatic turns rather than a straightforward path.

This decision, driven by mounting losses over years, officially brought the curtain down on its domestic sales and operations in the country. However, even then, Ford made it clear that India would continue to play a key role in its global plans. Now, this strategy is crystallizing with the…

The effects of this slowdown have now started to show even in its most loyal territories, which is a stark contrast to what the brand had witnessed until now. Specifically, Norway—a market long considered one of Tesla’s primary strongholds and a predominantly electric vehicle arena—seems to be getting out of the manufacturer’s grip, a clear signal of the rising competition. Tesla’s European Sales: A…
