2014 Jeep Compass Vehicle

Review

ALLEN MELLO CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAMWWW.ALLENMELLODODGENASHUA.COM

The 2014 Jeep Compass ranks 22 out of

23 Affordable Compact SUVs. This ranking is based

on our analysis of published reviews and test drives

of the Jeep Compass, as well as reliability and

safety data.

Critics say although the 2014 Jeep Compass is a

decent option for shoppers attracted to its low

base price, it lacks the power, standard features

and off-road prowess offered by higher-ranking

compact SUVs.

2014 Jeep Compass

The 2014 Jeep Compass is powered by a four-

cylinder engine, and auto reviewers are

disappointed with its feeble performance.

Although a more powerful four-cylinder engine is

optional, test drivers say it offers only marginal

improvement, resulting in lackluster acceleration

and a noisy ride. A five-speed manual transmission

comes standard on the Compass, while a new six-

speed automatic and a continuously variable

transmission (CVT) are optional. One critic

comments that while the new six-speed automatic

is better than the CVT, it still doesn’t make good

use of the engine’s power.

2014 Jeep Compass

The EPA reports that the 2014 Compass gets up to

23/30 mpg city/highway, which is comparable with

the fuel economy of SUVs like the base Ford

Escape andHonda CR-V. Still, compact SUVs like

the Mazda CX-5 use significantly less fuel. Test

drivers say that the Compass falls short with a jittery

ride and uninspiring handling. Some also note that

a large turning circle makes the Compass more

difficult to maneuver than they would like.

Additionally, most reviewers note that even with

the choice of all- and four-wheel drive systems, the

Compass has limited off-road capabilities.
