Sorry about the cheesy headline, but it will prove impossible to get away from the most important element of the new Jeep Compass's story. Yes, it's the smallest Jeep model ever, the new entry point to the Jeep range and the first urban-biased car in Jeep's long, illustrious history.
But it costs just €33,995. Now, that's actually slightly more expensive than the cheapest Toyota RAV 4 and substantially more than the cheapest Hyundai Tuscon. But wait for it. Both those cars are two-wheel-drive and only the Hyundai has air conditioning as standard.
The new Compass comes with (deep breath) multi-stage front air bags, supplemental side-curtain air bags, ABS with Brake Assist System, 18” alloy wheels, front fog lamps, electric folding mirrors, air conditioning, cruise control, electric front and rear windows, heated fronts seats, leather trimmed bucket seats, leather wrapped steering wheel, privacy glass in rear, interior cargo lamp with removable, rechargeable LED flashlight, reclining rear seats, fold-flat front passenger seat, driver and passenger front air bags, supplemental side-curtain air bags, Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), Brake Traction Control System, Brake Assist System, Electronic Roll Mitigation, anti-lock braking system (ABS) with rough-road detection and child seat anchor system (ISOFIX). And it has four-wheel-drive as standard.
And that makes it untouchable for the money, especially when you consider that it's a Jeep, and has (poor interior quality notwithstanding) all the cachet and history of that name. It's on sale now.
