2021 Jeep Compass review: A small SUV for the adventurer?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2024
- The 2021 Jeep Compass sits in a strange place in the market. It's larger than a lot of its direct competitors, but smaller than some vehicles in the class above. The new Compass is miles ahead of the previous generation, but does that make it a new SUV worth considering? Paul Maric finds out!

Авто/Мото
Lol 😂 reading all the comments!
Hey I got my wife this small suv when they first came out! 50,000km it’s never giving us a problem and my wife still luvs it!
Thanks for the feedback!
Love my 2013 compass! Got so much flack from mates for buying a Jeep but she is still going strong 💪
U do reviews in a very practical manner..good to see that
I just got a 2021 jeep compass limited, white with a black roof and 19" black and chrome rims, fully loaded to the max, and I absolutely LOVE it.
i realize it's pretty off topic but do anybody know of a good site to watch new movies online ?
@Bowen Darius Lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
what is the Fuel economy like? He quoted 14l/100km in the video. Also how is the general speed etc for getting off the line at red lights and highway driving?
Nice bro! I just got a 2020 4x4 altitude in the blue. It’s bad ass and I can’t wait to put some big tires on it
Thank you for the brilliant review!
Wow this is a good review, I’m impressed over the build up and that me as a viewer can use your time line if I only need to see your internal impression of the Car... great jobb.
I have the limited and I LOVE it. It’s a great mom car. I can’t drive big SUVs so the size perfect for me. I don’t go off-roading so even though I wanted the trailhawk, the limited suits my needs perfectly. I personally love it for mini road trips and day-to-day driving
Hey Yesica, can you fit your pram in the boot? Hi have a “Reds Baby” but am worried it wont fit…
Your videos are getting better and better .
Kudos
Thanks!
Bought a 2020 Jeep Compass and absoulutely love it!
Your living my dream Joseph 😊 Glad you love it.
Yh got the 2019 version, so much negative reviews but it's been a beast so far.
How’s your Compass? Thinking of buying it... thank u
@@khimbadillo14 Buy it you will love it!
@@josephsmith2063 There’s lot of negative reviews about it. How’s the fuel consumption? Is it good? 😩
Can you PLEASE review the compass models since the refresh? I’m super keen to buy one but there aren’t a lot of reviews from Australia yet.
In my 2018 jeep compass engine coolant range temperature between 89 c to 111c is that reasonable ?
Wow thank you so much for this awesome "real person" review!!!
You guys need to do a Video of the VW Troc. As well as comparing them with the CUV/SUV a like from different manufacturers.
Love your reviews. Do more jeeps please.
Thanks! We will try and get our hands on more of them.
hi we have just bought a new jeep compass night eagle can anyone tell me if it is supposed to come with the owners user manual or not as they said it doesnt
does anyone notice how tall he was looking while standing next to car at 3:06
I thought it was just me lol
Can't wait to see the PHEV in this thing.
Brother has an older version, around 7 years old, not any problems with it, tho i wouldn't ever buy one, at that price.. Needs a massive update !
In brazil we have only 410 litres and the tire is emergency, we don't have memory in the seats but we have the Passanger seat electric and we don't have climate seat
I own the latitude trim with a 2.0 diesel...it makes 173hp and 350 Nm...and that engine has a kick with economy of 17 kmpl
I am getting 9kmpl in city.
Mine is longitude diesel automatic 4x4
@@RadhakrishnanMudliar in city i get 12....and we know that indian city traffic is pretty bad...so its pretty good imo
Dude, when you're standing next to that car, you look like a giant, or the car is a very small SUV :D
What is this color called in jeep models ??
When did the price of $32k for a light weight compact SUV become normal?
Hi have you got 2022 limited version review for jeep compass?
Back on December 28, 2021 I help my wife buy this jeep compass altitude and after driving it here in Puerto Rico, guess the climate is warmer than others places, the front suspension started making metalic noise, like an old car. We took it back and the told us it's the grease in the rack and pinion its some other type for the climate other mechanic said it did not have sufficient grease in it....you should test it more before giving it a rating. Right now I give it a 7 for looks and a 3 for mechanics. If have to buy another one I will go, a different route and don't look back...
Does it have that annoying auto stop where it constantly shuts off?
Do you have a review on the Jeep Compass 2022?!
why it’s interior is not updated there?
Does it break automaticly?
How do I get Apple car play
Extra info!
08:07
those rubber bottle holders actually keep your drink cold if you have the AC on
Hmm, can you explain how that works?
@@CarExpertAus Sorry I cant :( , its something I just realized while using it, I have the Jeep Compass 2017, and every time I put a drink in there, witch is at room temperature, it gets colder, and you can feel it by touching the rubbers.
Btw Paul, i'm a big fan, this is my go to channel when I need to see a car or truck review!!
There are several videos showing even the Latitute model can do off road and you don’t have to have a trail hawk to go off-road. I was amazed at where it could go and no it’s not the courses a Wrangler could do but google Jeep Comapss Latitude off road videos and see fro yourself. Plus a 2 inch lift kit will give you more than enough clearance to go off road on more challenging courses.
Fair enough assessment. I think it sells well in the US because it resembles a Grand Cherokee. Most reviews I’ve watched seem to say the say thing, which is it’s basically a competent vehicle but nothing special. And not very efficient.
Hey Paul ! Just for an information this model is not 2021. The new gen compass 2021 has been showcased and I guess is now launched in some countries .. But hey no hates I love your videos 😊
Would love to see a review of a grand Cherokee if you can? Interested to see what you think before going to purchase one 👍🏻👌🏻
We will try and get our hands on one :-)
Can you please review the Jeep Compass diesel?
How much price and about parts
What is it with auto journalists and "soft touch materials"?
We purchased this car new in September 22 and it has been a lemon from the start. Airbags didn't work in bad car accident. We were hit at Approx. 70-80kmh hour whilst stationary at road on Hastings River rd Port Macquarie. My wife and I sustained injuries with chronic whiplash and other muscular and joint damage.
Additional issues, one being in the first 2weeks of owning this new Jeep Compass limited the paint was peeling off the front bumper bar, the touch screen was faulty, with maps constantly dropping out, app menu freezing and the car was getting increasingly harder to start.
I would not recommend a Jeep to anyone as to book in for a service with local Port Macquarie dealer takes about 6 weeks.
We purchased a new Sportage GT Line Turbo diesel instead, a much better car
Sick of those manscaped ads probably the Jeeps' target market
Bought a 2021 Compass love it just don’t care for that 2nd battery for start stop
Mom just bought the 2021 High altitude 4x4 with paneramic roof it’s so nice, and I’m learning how to drive it at 13😂
I saw lots of compass starting up issues
Can you review Jeep compass 2023
Wow the navigation and the camera is just so bad on the display screen. I expected better one.
Nice review. For the money I'd get a nicely trimmed RAV4 though.
Hii sir.....I'm John from India
I would like to know if there is a difference in dimensions between ur compass and Indian compass
I don't think so! Our Jeep Compass is built in India, so I'd assume they're the same car.
Interior is night and day difference to the model which is available in india🤣
Lady at work bought one last year, it’s been back at the dealer three times already to get fixed. 🙄
My experience as well. Fiat electrics...
Thomas Kerr I’m thinking about switching my Honda Civic for this. Could you go into detail any issues? I moved to Houston so I just wanted something lifted but light for the roads and possible mild flooding.
@@Msalove08 All (and I do mean ALL) of the computer modules stopped communication with the main ECU. The Jeep dies then locks the e brake, even when you are moving (ie in traffic) and starts throwing error messages on the center screen about everything from ABS, traction control, cruise, Lane depature, etc etc etc. Got towed to dealership, (two different ones) that could not replicate the problem, but when the code reader was hooked up the vehicle threw up to 100 separate codes. They would drive it, re flash the Ecu, and call it good, charging us up to 500 dollars at a shot for essentially nothing, because the problem would reoccur within another 200 miles of driving it.
Thomas Kerr damn I spent a LOT of time after your comment doing research and you very well saved me from getting into another car loan and stress. Thank you!!
Can you review the Compass trailhawk?
Review coming!
@@CarExpertAus ma dove è la ruota di scorta?.
I had one of these as a loan car last week while my Grand Cherokee was in for service. It was a 2 year old Longitude spec model, and it was quite underwhelming. Have to agree that Uconnect is a solid system though.
How much was the fuel consumption for longitude?
@@JPJUNNI sorry I only drove from dealer to home and back to dealer, no idea.
@@JPJUNNI I own a 2018 1.4T 4x2 longitude...highway, it does 5.2 L/100KM
what did he say at 0:15 ? "it`s one down from the Topspecs?" what was the name of the model? the more offroad model?
Trail Hawk.
You probably already have this info but, there you go.
@@riloh58 thank you!
Great review mate👍
50k? Wow, build quality and that engine? Buy a RAV4 hybrid, just as boring but at least you know it won't fall apart.
And that compas will? 🤦
@@Tomaskii from my experience, probably will
@@jethrohaha probably in % @what mileage?
Bought a 2020 Jeep Compass and love it! Try it you will love it!
All nice love it.
Sadly does not come in a 6 speed manual!!! Why not have the option!!!,😠
They make more money on the automatic. The manual would work much better with the small engine.
Good car... but should you buy it? Personally I wouldn’t touch any brand in Oz which doesn’t do a minimum of 10000 car sales a year. Anything lesser and you could be dealing with not enough service centres, not enough service personnel, not enough parts inventory. Jeep did just 480 cars as per sep’20 vfacts report.
Yes nice design
Great review as always. 50k seems a lot for a car that isn’t....a proper 4x4. For a little more, you can get a Toyota Hyrbrid RAV4 and do basically the same thing.
Isn’t quiet (noisy?) or isn’t quite??
RAV4 is a joke.
on road test would have taken weeks to do with all the breakdowns.
More than happy Paul to put my 1941 Ford Willys Jeep up against any modern day Jeep, off road. Just leave your Durometer at home!🤣👍🏻😎
Yeah, it might win, but, try driving that thing every day and tell how comfortable it is. It’s quite stupid to compare two cara from absolutely different eras. I have an 1978 Land Rover and would never compare it to my 2020 Defender, it would be non sense
@@andresgonzalezmadriz7342 Geez take a chill pill.🤪 Do you understand what taking the piss means? Ps. Sorry you bought a 2020 Defender😢🤣
Andrew D don’t be, I’m quite happy for my purchase. Keep comparing old cars to new ones, makes you look very knowledgeable of cars, piss off you too, mate ✌🏻
@@andresgonzalezmadriz7342 I didn’t tell you to piss off mate. Life’s too short to own a Defender😂 Get back to me in another 79 years & tell me how it’s running....🤭
Nice car
He did not mention that Jeep offer life time roadside assistance, 5 year warranty, and capped servicing costs. Also all other cars in this class do not have 4x4, are not raised off the ground, can not go offroad at all and do not have a panoramic sunroof. It's a small SUV so who cares if it is not as powerful etc. The interior is nice, the outside of it looks TOUGH compared to anything else in it's class.
Jeep has increased their quality tremendously since 2019. They have climbed in the quality ranking by J.D.Power from last year to 2020. Dodge (also a Chrysler brand) is ranked No. 1 in reliability this year by J.D.Powers. Chrysler is very eager to turn their quality issues around and they have delivered, according to the JD.Power car quality report. They are highly focused on becoming- (and developing the reputation of) a top quality, car manufacturing company. Time will tell if they can keep up their latest quality improvements.
Wow, they've increased their quality dramatically in 10 months.
Quite the turn around.
I have a very good bridge for sale, I feel you just may be the purchaser I've been searching for.
Jeeves so full of negativity and quickly so personal. Maybe if you are really interested in FCA quality and it’s improvements...this article may interest you: www.freep.com/story/money/cars/chrysler/2019/03/29/fiat-chrysler-quality-consumer-reports/3292743002/
Have a great day :)
im buyin it.
My big lumbering ZB Calais V Tourer gets better mileage and it is AWD the V6.
The only thing i like is the leather seats
This is compass 2017. It’s not 2021. Please google new one
The 90's called - they want their dashboard back
@11:20 damn that auto is slow at shifting between gears
everyone in this coment section owns a Jeep lmao
GOOD
that was good
i like jeep compass
Only Jeep car here in India. The Indian version also misses out tons of things. 😒☹️
It looks like proton x70 suv
this is not 2021 Jeep compass
Interior is night and day difference to the model which is available in India🤣
I like the look of the exterior but that's it. Interior is woeful, engine underpowered and uses too much fuel. To top it off it's too expensive.
true, therefore it is a bestseller😂😱
Trapezoid!
Thank you! That's the one :-D
Jeep Compass's MPG sucks !!!!! records 18mpg (over 17k miles) on my combined driving on a very light foot on the gas pedal.
Hi
😂 the Jeep Compass is way better than those foreign cars
14/100 k 😮
looks like a toy car when you stand by it
3:04, its a jeep for ants
지프 나침반
Too ridiculously expensive.
The only cleaver features of Jeep is secret storage otherwise forget it !!!
This is not the 2021 Compass
The Compass is actually based on a Fiat 500 platform, and reliability is what you'd expect from a combination of Chrysler and Fiat. If you really want a Jeep, than a Wrangler is a real Jeep that's much better off road and about the same money. If you want a more conventional SUV, than a Toyota or Mazda is more reliable and better engineered and built. I wouldn't buy one of these.
@Carlos Daniel Da Silva Schaper It's on a slightly stretched version of the exact same platform that's used for the Jeep Renegade and Fiat 500 XL. I stand by my original comments.
@Carlos Daniel Da Silva Schaper Whether the internal name is changed or not makes no difference. Mechanically, It's still a Fiat.
@@geoffk777 which is not at all close to a 500 the 500x and renegade is a completely different car to a 500.
The 500x with the 2l diesel is great. I have one. Have had many Fiat's with no big probs.
plastic plastic plastic...name of their game bruhhh
Love the exterior but the inside looks disgustingly cheap.
endless money pits
U cant compare with those, those looks like hatchs or sedan, and its different
That's the category the Compass shares in Australia.
What to buy? Literally anything else. Even Americans think the Jeep Compass is crap and to be avoided.
I would rather go for Subaru Forester than Jeep junk
Would rather go a Subaru, only problem there is you will be grabbing your ankles at servicing time.... better make that a Toyota.
No doubt jeep compass its beautiful but ITS MPG really sucks!! I was spending so much money is Gas. If you are watching this video do yourself a favor and test drive the vehicle first, also rent one on Turo and drive it for few days. I recommend to go tesla instead.
ts.la/jerry93648
It’s nice but I’ll never buy one as long as jeep is a part of FCA
Fiat technology , Fiat reliability , if like spending money due to it breaking down all the time its a car for you
You know nothing cause you never owned a Chrysler since Fiat took over. I have had 3 and they are all of outstanding quality. You never owned one so you are talking through your hat!
If you think about it, every light is an LED, Because LED literally stands for Light Emission Device
LED stands for Light Emitting Diode
@@leon_ernst ah fair enough.
Jeeps are crap. Jeeps new ad says it all. People weren't happy owning a Jeep. Who says that😂😂😂
Why are the crap?
@@feeltheeffect85 expensive to repair and that's when Jeep Australia actually know what the faults are. Just not a good vehicle.
@@Studat maybe you need some decent mechanics. All vehicles have problems.
@@bigteddy66 So Jeep Australia ain't good mechanics? and have you seen some of the pricing for parts?
@@Studat not our fault you live on an island in the middle of bloo&6 nowhere. Got to get the parts there mayt. Oh and the canal is shut.
I drove the previous model in the US and would have to say it was one of the worst cars I’ve ever driven.
Thankfully a big step up over the previous one!
Underpowered ✅
Shit economy ✅
Plenty of known reliability complaints ✅
Rubbish off-road ability ✅
Terrible interior ✅
Expensive ✅
Crap build quality ✅
Much better competitor value vehicles in this sector ✅
Yea, no thanks…..
Same price : Toyota RAV4 2.5 Hybrid AWD Cruiser E-CVT………..AU$46,415 on road…….NO COMPETITION HERE
