Keeping the latest Jeeps in a similar design for each model range has helped the new Compass look in-keeping with the larger Grand Cherokee flagship range, and that’s a good thing because the styling is clean, elegant and bold. The 2018 Jeep Compass Petrol models are the nice smooth SUVs to drive. They aren’t as expensive to buy as the larger Cherokees, but they offer a good level of practical space for the occupants and luggage while remaining comfortable to travel in.

All 2018 Jeep Compass Petrol models are powered by the grunty 2.4-litre petrol engine. With 129 kW of power and 229 Nm of torque there remains plenty of clout for everyday travel – whether loaded up or as a single-occupant commuter. Sport and Longitude models are FWD only and link their 2.4-litre engines to the robust and smooth 6-speed automatic. In the Sport model you can even opt for a 6-speed manual transmission for simple and reliable performance.
