Jeep Compass (2021-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
The 4xe version is really capable off road	Expensive to buy, especially the hybrid
Tough and rugged image	Not as good to drive as a Ford Kuga or Mazda CX-5
Reasonably comfortable ride	Some owners will struggle to find a comfortable driving position

Quick Summary

The Jeep Compass (2021-present) is a C-SUV that stands out for its genuine off-road capability, particularly in its 4xe plug-in hybrid variant. This facelifted model feels significantly updated with revised styling, an all-new interior, and modern powertrains. It offers impressive interior space, with generous legroom and headroom for all passengers, and a practical 438-litre boot, though hybrid models lose some underfloor storage. The interior quality is notably improved, featuring plusher materials and a sophisticated feel, complemented by an enhanced UConnect 5 infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

While the 4xe's acceleration isn't as explosive as its 237bhp combined output might suggest, and the non-hybrid petrol version is adequate, the Compass provides a reasonably comfortable ride. Handling is acceptable, though the steering can be inconsistent. Running costs for the plug-in hybrid depend heavily on charging habits, while the non-hybrid petrol achieves around 40mpg. Its unique selling point remains its rugged image and capability in challenging conditions, making it a compelling choice for a specific niche of buyers.

Best for: Drivers needing genuine off-road capability in a family SUV (especially the 4xe), those who value a tough, rugged image, and buyers seeking a roomy interior and comfortable ride.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers (due to its higher price point), those prioritising dynamic on-road driving dynamics (like a Ford Kuga or Mazda CX-5), or individuals who might struggle to find a comfortable driving position.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Corsa if: You need genuine off-road capability in a family SUV (especially the 4xe), you value a tough, rugged image, or you're seeking a roomy interior and comfortable ride.

Consider alternatives if: You're on a tight budget, you prioritise dynamic on-road driving dynamics, or you find it difficult to achieve a comfortable driving position.

Competitive Position: The Jeep Compass (2021-present) stands out in the C-SUV segment for its genuine off-road prowess, particularly with the 4xe plug-in hybrid. While it offers a stylish design, improved interior quality, and impressive space, it faces stiff competition from rivals that often offer more dynamic on-road handling or better value. Its unique selling point remains its rugged image and capability in challenging conditions, making it a compelling choice for a niche audience willing to pay a premium for its specialized abilities.
