Nagpur - Ladakh - Nagpur in Jeep Compass in May 2022 by Tanmay Vijay Giradkar




Nagpur-Gwalior-Manali-Leh-Nubra-Kargil-Srinagar-Delhi-Nagpur (May 7 2022- May 17 2022)
Distance travelled: 5000 kms. 
Vehicle: Jeep Compass 4x2 Diesel. 
Fuel Economy achieved: 12-13 km/ltr 
(Includes all type of terrain/highways)
Road connectivity in overall Ladakh is good. On all bad patches my Jeep Compass did really good job. There are some patches where I scared to drive through but without a single slip of wheel two wheel drive done job nicely. Clutch burning smell only came out twice during parking in reverse on big inclination. May be due to heavy use of clutch. Nothing much affected on performance due to high altitude. But on driving upwards it felt like power loss and too much struggle on 1-2 gear. On higher passes like Tanglangla, Khardungla etc TPMS shows error. and yes my car too have ratlling noices sometimes near infotainment, sometimes from B Pillar/ Driver Door. I heard this on most of the parts of highways like Yamuna expressway, Nagpur-Jhansi part, Delhi Eastern Peripheral Highway etc. Seats are comfortable, especially back seats are better on long drives. The combination of brakes, suspension and steering system makes Compass confident to drive. No issues with electronics, infotainment and Car Play. 
V. Important tip: Drive slow on highways (having higher tolls) as there are speed guns. Got 2 challans for just 87km/hr and 119km/hr.
