In the late 90s Jeep's slogan in Europe was "Everybody can make a 4WD vehicle, only we can make a Jeep." We have to wait a bit more to test how capable the Jeep Compass 4Xe version with AWD is but even the Jeep Compass e impressed us with its FWD.
Despite sharing key components with other Stellantis models, the Jeep Compass retains a distinct Jeep identity and manages to stand out in a crowded segment. It may not lead the class in any single area, but it avoids notable weaknesses across the board. Versatility remains a crucial factor in the midsize SUV segment, particularly in Europe, and the Compass delivers a well balanced package that meets the wide ranging demands of modern buyers.
For buyers in this segment with a taste for something more distinctive, the Jeep Compass e is worth considering, particularly in the striking Hawaii green color of our test car.
