                 Jeep Compass 2018

Affordable compact SUV with nice interior and off-roading capabilities defines the Jeep Compass 2018. The Jeep Compass 2018 was announced in 2016, during Los Angeles Auto show where it replaced the previous model Patriot from Jeep. The Compass has ever since been in production to the day. Compass 2018 is a pocket-friendly budget crossover SUV for your daily drive. It comes with the lowest price tag among the competitions with handful of options. The Jeep Compass has decent off-roading capabilities along with a pleasant interior although it is a budget SUV. However when the price goes down there are some compromises that you have to commit in order to save couple thousands of dollar. Therefore the Jeep is blamed to have less cargo space as compared to competitors along with being sluggish in performance thus underpowered driving. However the price completely makes up for it with such good finishes in the interior.

Engine & Power:

Jeep Compass 2018 has got a 2.4L I4 engine powered by Gasoline. The 4-cylinder engine gives the answer of just about average performance however it accounts to greater mpg of 23/32 mpg local/highway. (9.7/13.6 kml) in FWD. The figure reduces to 22/31 mpg in case of AWD version. With a 175-lb-ft of torque the wheels produce about 180hp. As for the transmission it comes in 9-speed automatic transmission which is another factor that accounts for sluggish performance of the vehicle.

With a cargo space of 27.2 cubic feet behind the rear seats the Jeep Compass comes with 5 persons seating capacity. That means only row seating in the rear due to being crossover SUV.

The center of dashboard is fitted with 8.4 inches infotainment system along with uconnect featuring voice control. It comes with Beats Audio system attached with 506-watt Amplifier. List of other buttons include drive mode, engine start-stop, traction control, climate control etc. The arrest of Compass can hold a large cellphone or small camera.

The front seats are cushion styled whereas the cabin has plenty of headroom and legroom for a crossover SUV.

When it comes to overall driving experience of Jeep Compass 2018 it can be sub-categorized in these components.

Handling:

 The suspension is decently made thus the chassis is stiff. The off-road friendly tires make handling a little hard especially on curvy roads.

Steering:

The steering behaves well on low speeds along with outputting just right amount of weight on high speeds. Thus steering pretty much feels good.

Acceleration:

 Quite honestly the acceleration is sluggish due to 9-speed automatic transmission. The Jeep Compass accelerates from 0-60 mph in 11 seconds.

Braking:

The ABS brake does the job very well with pedals feeling right when pushing them down. At speed of 60mph it takes about 140ft to stop with its off-road tires. The whole braking mechanism is smooth and quiet.

Driveability:

 Unless you push the pedals hard enough it doesn’t downshifts quickly. So either you have to drive it with a heavy foot or light foot, as the intermediate pedal pushing makes the process vexing.

Trim Levels in Jeep Compass:

Jeep Compass is offered in four trims accounting for different prices.

 The base trim is called Sports. It comes with 16-inches wheels and all other standard options like rear view camera, remote keyless entry, heated side-view mirrors and push start.

Latitude trim upgrades the wheels to 17-inches adding vinyl seats with premium clothing, leather steering, AC vents along with automatic headlamps.

Limited trim further gets the upgraded 18-inches polished wheels of Aluminum with leather seats, two-toned roof, brightened roof rails and dual climate-control. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is also onboard.

The most expensive trim is Trailhawk with 17-inches wheels, red tow hooks and off-road suspension along with other components for off-roading adventures.

All the trims comes with optional drivetrains of FWD (front-wheel-drive) or AWD (all-wheel-drive). However the Trailhawk only comes in 4WD (four-wheel-drive) due to its 4-by-4 configuration. Overall the Latitude trim is winner when it comes to choosing the trim for best worth of money. The Jeep Compass starts at $21,595 which goes up to $29,445 thus making all its variants at least $5000-$7000 cheaper than other competitors.
