The Jeep Compass is attractive and because it doesn’t sit all that high off the ground, it’s relatively easy to get into and out of. The Compass’s cabin offers reasonable but not abundant room for five passengers. The Jeep Compass’s 163hp, 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine is punchy in the mid-range but feels weak at town speeds and isn’t fuel efficient. And the petrol version’s seven-speed dual-clutch auto isn’t the slickest of the type. Standard Compasses with the 173hp, 2.0-litre diesel engine are far more likeable.
