Jeep name is almost synonymous with off road, though, with a compass, a legendary American brand to choose more for the road. Although this second version can not be said that there are "recalibrated" the course of the initial idea, which remains an urban model approach, he accepted the position last restyling both times.
Now having completed more care, the new range and types of traction engines, upgraded suspension, and, more obviously, the front is clearly inspired by the Grand Cherokee.
Jeep Compass with the most powerful diesel engine and 4x4 at a price close to 30,000 euros, without promotional discounts.
exterior design
New hood, grille, wings, lights and side bands can not hide the lines that have been taken directly from the Grand Cherokee. A new look giving more cache. The seven-slot grille features accept American brands, but only lasts Chrome quietly sing their profile and not entirely with high-end siblings.
New quad reflector headlamps with much better lighting, something that in this model is one Achilles heel. And fog lamps are of ellipsoidal and sausage go under the bumper. In a new rear spoiler on the tailgate and tinted windows accentuate the sporty character of the car. It also includes the new LED lights.
In the European market is sold in two finishes: Sport and Limited. The latter, the most luxurious, has a sunroof, navigation and 18 "wheels among others.
In the cockpit of the main changes center on the steering wheel that includes audio controls, cruise and phone. Finishes have been improved, but still dominates the hard plastic.
In the interior, especially in the back, there's a very unusual feeling as if the seating arrangement is not married body structure. It seems that the rear seats are located in the rear position because it makes the post from which the seat belt is too advanced, so that when we put the belt we find that we have more than four fingers separated shoulder. It also handles the ceiling is quite advanced.
On the other side of the square is almost unusable because of what stands between the center console armrest base and high transmission tunnel also has two holes placed coasters, almost no leg room and there was a major influence on his own position, except that he was attacked end of the passenger area.
Good access to the rear seats are comfortable for a small hole there to spend. AND gate is that, in addition to the narrow opening of the very few.
The trunk has a very high loading aircraft and space is limited to the covers. Extended offers 328 liters 458 liters when loaded to the roof and 1269 liters when folded in the back of the second row of seats.
mechanics
Our test subjects Jeep Compass equipped 2.2-liter turbodiesel engine in the most powerful version, 163 hp (the others offer 136 hp) with a torque of 320 Nm. These figures represent a 16% increase in power and torque than 3% from the previous 2.0 engine that sits on the Compass.
As for performance, signed an acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 10.1 seconds (12% faster than the previous engine), to meet Euro V approval and official promises half the consumption of 6.6 liters to 100 km. What, with a 51 liter fuel tank, can provide a range exceeding 770 miles. Yes, our average is 7.7 l/100 km.

The Jeep Compass features a McPherson type front suspension and multilink rear spring and adjustment of hydraulic dampers firmer. It has also reinforced the rear stabilizer bar. This car goes least plumb and swings his body changes in accented support.
So far there are only advantages over the first Compass, but as the suspensions do not have much travel, when we leave well paved firm is much appreciated the "rattle" in the cockpit.
Freedom Drive 1 is the name of the active and permanent 4x4 system which features a locking knob to connect manually. Normally its permanent all-wheel drive system allows us to move with more guarantees in a 4x2 with low grip roads and the difficulty if we go to more successfully overcome by resorting to block its center differential. Of course I only recommend using it in this situation, never on asphalt or firm non-slip.
It has ABS, brake assist Assist (BAS), multi-stage front airbags and front and rear curtain airbags, active front head restraints, Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM), Hill-start assist (HSA), electronic stability control (ESP) and Traction Control (TCS) and Isofix anchoring system for child seats. Keyless entry, seat belt warning system unbuttoned. And optionally be equipped with the "package" Safety & Comfort which adds side airbags supplemental front seat, monitoring Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) and heated front seats (the latter feature is standard on the Limited).
But soon he has served as Compass all this equipment in EuroNCAP crash testing has only got 2 of the 5 possible stars.
Its size, just over 4.4 meters long, and 4x4 traction makes this model is handled very well. In city and park moves easily and is very poised road. Conspicuously not have a large cockpit and a trunk well used but its quality 4x4, despite not having a very todoterreneros angles (20.32 and 20 attack, ventral and output, respectively), opens the doors beyond asphalt. Its 2.2 engine is spirited, with good recoveries and staggered successful change that helps achieve quite content consumption.
