“Jeep’s expanding range of SUVs and full-on 4x4s doesn’t always make it across the Atlantic, but the UK is getting the Trailhawk.”

“The Compass’s practicality is average at best. It has a torquey but gruff diesel engine that performs well enough in a qualified sort of way, and ride and handling that’s passable but conspicuous by its lack of a premium-brand dynamic finish.”

“If you’re an adventurous family who off-road regularly, then in Trailhawk guise the Jeep Compass makes a compelling argument for itself, despite its occasionally unruly road manners.”

“The Compass is a great addition to Jeep’s range, and it slots neatly in the off-road centric range of this American manufacturer. It’s not a class-leading model, and there are rivals with better interiors and more enjoyable drives, but it’s an interesting left-field option to other established SUVs.”

“Sitting midway between the Renegade and Cherokee, the Jeep Compass is a capable off-roader with its own individual style, but you’ll have to be in love with it to look past the competition.”

“The Jeep Compass’ beefy styling certainly helps it stand out from the current crop of family SUVs, but it isn’t all that good to drive and feels quite cheap in places.”

“The Jeep Compass offers an interesting change to the regular small SUV options. It looks good, is efficient and has a good residual value, but refinement could be better.”

“Some will be willing to overlook its lack of on-road prowess in favour of its genuine off-road capability. Just like Land Rover, Jeep plays hard on its reputation as a maker of cars that won’t leave you stranded in the rough stuff.”

“Just like the England football team, on paper the Jeep Compass has got the goods to take the fight to the others, but it’s no guarantee they’ll win at their own game.”

“I’d strongly urge anyone considering the Jeep Compass to test drive some rivals. The benchmark is incredibly high in this segment now, and the Compass – while ten times better than its awful predecessor – isn’t there yet.”

“More an SUV than a soft-roader. Patchy dynamics but well finished and has good off-road ability.”

“The Jeep Compass has impressive off-road credentials, but its poor road manners and noisy engines mean it’s ultimately off the pace.”

“Character oozes from every pore of this compact Jeep, and while it’s well equipped and a very spacious family car, there are not enough pluses to justify buying it. The Compass is too sluggish, too unrefined, too poorly built and simply off the pace compared to the best rivals.”
