Jeep Compass (MP)
The second-generation Jeep Compass (MP) is a compact family SUV that bridges the gap between the quirky Renegade and the larger Cherokee, aimed squarely at the Nissan Qashqai and SEAT Ateca. It offers handsome, "mini-Grand Cherokee" styling and a significantly more premium interior than its predecessor. In the UK, the plug-in hybrid (4xe) models are the most appealing, offering decent electric range and genuine off-road capability in the Trailhawk trim. Reliability is average, with the Fiat-sourced mechanicals generally sound but occasional electrical gremlins reported. It suits families wanting a handsome, ruggedly styled SUV with the option of plug-in hybrid efficiency.
