Buying Tips for 2023–2024 Jeep Compass (MP)

  • On 4xe (plug-in hybrid) models, check the transition between electric and petrol power for any severe jerking or hesitation.
  • Test the Uconnect infotainment system thoroughly; it can be laggy and sometimes fails to connect to Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.
  • Inspect the interior trim for rattles, particularly around the dashboard and the panoramic sunroof (if fitted).
  • Verify the operation of the automatic gearbox; some owners report it holding onto gears too long or shifting harshly.
  • Check the ADAS systems (lane keep assist, adaptive cruise) to ensure there are no warning lights on the dash.
  • Ensure the charging port flap (on 4xe models) locks and unlocks securely.
