Performance :
Fans of fuel may have a car Fwd 2.0 liter with a or a 4-wheels drive 2.4 with a transmit variable Transmission. However, the 2.1-litre four-wheel drive diesel (which is badged as a 2.2) makes more sense. It feels flat below 1400 rpm, but strong enough later.
Ride handling :
The diesel four wheel drive is rated to tow a huge 2000kg braked trailer, while 20-degree approach and departure should help in the rough. Unfortunately, the compass fails to show best points on the road. hard in turns and is equipped to be incompatible. The ride is rather knobbly, too.
Refinement :
This is another area where the compass remains well below the best SUV. Its diesel engine seems still surly, but it becomes especially hoarse when work you hard. You feel also vibrations through the clutch pedal, while the road noise intrudes on coarse surfaces and participates the wind noise at highway speeds.
Buying & owning :
The price of the compass is to undercut rivals such as the Nissan Qashqai and Volkswagen Tiguan. However, he falls a little of their fuel consumption and CO2 issues. It's to be expensive to service, and resale values are low.
Quality reliability :
The areas where you could rest your elbows are padded. Too bad, the rest of the cabin is made of plastic hard, unpleasant, and the switchgear doesn't feel not particularly chic. Jeep also has a poor record in our reliability surveys.
Safety Security :
Any compass has six airbags, stability control and a system that can brake individual wheels to stop the car roll over. In addition, active Front headrests are fitted to minimize whiplash injuries in a rear-end shunt. Unfortunately, however, the car marked a disappointing two stars in Euro NCAP crash tests. An engine immobilizer and alarm make life difficult for thieves.
