There ARE actually 2 compass' in the Compass. One in the configurable TFT display in the instrument cluster and another compass on the navigation icon on the Uconnect screen. Also, the previous compass did offer a compass in the instrument cluster.
Looks nice and all,but if you really want one please don't go out and pay full price, you'll be able to get this for almost 10k off sticker by end of year or next year when the dealerships are flooded with thses and need to sell them
I’ve just bought one in the UK. I got it in magnesio grey. It’s fine. Had an Audi Q3 before & this 2019 Compass of mine just feels like it’s been thrown together in some aspects. Otherwise, it is fine! Not many on the roads over here either.
Paris Holman I would love to have a Jeep for my first car. I’m not sure if I want a compass Cherokee or grand Cherokee. The looks of the compass and grand Cherokee appeal to me more but I still like the more storage in the Cherokee vs the compass
I owned Patriot, I was so skeptical to drive Compass, but the 2017 has Grand Cherokee genes runs in the new Compass. I wish facelift could also be done to Patriot instead of 2016 Cherokee. I will keep my boxy Jeep Cherokee.
I tested one and I thought the interior was kind of cheap in places like the center console lid. But overall it is a real improvement over the last one
this is a perfect vehicle for northern states. you want a stutdier suspension, especially here in SE Michigan, because the roads are horrible. you didnt even go over the safety features.
I have the 2018 compass with the smaller touch screen the information is the same size there's a lot of black space on that screen and that's also why the radio and climate controls are lower because of that huge screen I have the small screen is just fine and I have a compass also
My 2018 compass trailhawk has a compass in the apps that’s literally nothing but a giant compass on the screen? Either they added it in or you didn’t look very hard
No compass? What does SW stand for on the screen? SuperWorthy? And a CR-V starts at $25,000, or almost 20% more. RAV4 $500 more than the Honda. Even an HR-V starts at 21k.
That is a question based on your wants, needs and budget. I bought this for my 17 year olds first car. The Compass is not to small nor too big and has great options for a younger driver. I really liked that the vehicle has safety equipment for a newer driver like a back up camera and sensors, cross path detection, blind spot detection, crash mitigation with auto braking, lane departure warning with lane keep assist, rain sensing wipers, auto high beams, 4 wheel drive with select terrain settings and my younger driver likes the fun options like apple carplay {android auto}, panoramic sunroof, navigation, hands free control of music , climate and texting, remote start and heated seats and wheel. As you can see it can be a nice car for anyone but only you can decide if it is right for you. If you buy used try to get something under warranty to avoid buying someone's previous problems and costly repairs.
im laughing so hard because he makes everything sound like its a let down lmao like even when he's talking about things he likes he sounds unimpressed lmao
Time to "call out the reviewer " . There is a hard button labeled COMPASS on the 5 in screen and a soft touch icon on larger screens for the COMPASS, and why do you tap on a soft touch dash and say "there is a lot of black plastic in front of me ". Misleading people to think it is a hard plastic dash, what did you expect the leather covered dash from the Grand Cherokee.
Agreed. I had a Jeep and other Chrysler products. Good content and price. Poor quality. I hope this is better. It certainly looks good but this new model has already been recalled.
Guys I need your advice I am interested in the new Jeep Compass. It costs around $25,000/- where I live. The compass is a fun drive. Only problem is the slow engine, which I don t mind. However, I also found a used 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee for almost the same price and has 30,000 KM on it. I love the grand cherokee. It has a lot of space and engine is great. To be honest, I don t need that much power in the engine but I love it. My only problem is that it is used and not safe. The new compass is rated "Top Safety Pick" by the IIHS. I will be getting married soon. I feel like i will be needing extra room for the baby stroller and other shoppings/groceries. The compass does not provide that room. I have a 2014 jeep compass and I understand. What do you guys think?
The new Compass actually has more boot space that the standard Cherokee and has plenty of safety features for a family. Stuff you'll appreciate in the Compass are rear doors open almost 90degs which is handy for childseats. I've not seen the Cherokees to compare this though.
I guess being so tall you did notice that short ladies have their neck pushed forward in the drivers seat, horrible ! gave me stick neck, what can fix that? please cause I'm about to buy one
The Jeep Compass kind of sits in it's own little class. It's too big to be a sub compact, but is a little too small to just be a normal compact such as the CR-V. Because of this, it tends to be lumped into the same class as a CR-V and Rav4 while the Jeep Renegade, an actual sub-compact crossover, is the jeep sub-compact.
The front of the car is not bad , it looks like a grand Cherokee but the rear it's rather ugly. How's the quality of the interior ? Because it seems very cheap. ,especially the door's plastic . Congrats for the review
I have the Compass and just don't. Please. It's beautiful but I'm legit $10k belly up because the retail price is way way over KBB value. And I've taken excellent care of my car.
Here's a better idea. Get rid of the Patriot and the Cherokee. Then rename the Compass the Cherokee. The new Compass is what the new Cherokee should have been.
Is it a requirement that youtube vehicle reviewers have a lisp? I've watched 6 different videos in a row now, all different people, all lithping their atheth off.
FCA failed at this. Think of how much better FCA would be if they built reliable vehicles. Better yet, if they had a 2liter turbo petrol (like every other manufacturers that had it for years now) and a torque converter 8 speed auto. That is what all its SUVs should have as an option.
DEALERS PLEASE STOP OFFERING THIS MODEL MOSTLY IN 4x4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How do the the millions of people driving their crappy fwd cars make it alive thru the winters??? You don't need AWD unless you're going up a mountain cliff, or driving on the sand, or are diving like a maniac in a snowstorm or rain just to FINALLY justify going for the AWD. This is just a crappy SUV that will be used to go to McDonald's or the mall. Stop with the 4x4 just because it's a jeep. Come on.
essel23fly im guessing you dont live in an area with heavy snow. up here where i live awd is a must. keep in mind that not everybody lives in the same area as you and fwd will get you nowhere in some places. idiotic comment, where do you live?
i dunno i live in ontario canada and winter drive a Z.. if you live in an area that gets plowed than awd is completely unnecessary, i think tires and ground clearance are the most important factors to consider
Yea I'm in the gta and although awd is nice to have, i wouldn't say it is necessary. On the other hand, people that actually live in northern ontario would have no use for a fwd car considering most roads do not get plowed. This person is also forgetting we are talking about jeep here. A manufacturer who's roots are in the off road community. I don't think they have offered a vehicle without 4WD
You don't like that there's no compass in the Compass? Would you like a viper in your Viper?
Or a demon in a demon?
Juan Ruiz or a cobra in a cobra 😂
or a Ghost in a Ghost
I'm not gonna lie, it would be nice if my cherokee came with a cherokee
hahahahahahaha 😂😂😂
There ARE actually 2 compass' in the Compass. One in the configurable TFT display in the instrument cluster and another compass on the navigation icon on the Uconnect screen. Also, the previous compass did offer a compass in the instrument cluster.
I’m 6’3 and just purchased this car last night off Carvana. This video made me extremely happy with my choice.
Upvote just for the suitcase demonstration. perfect.
These silly car videos talk about trivial things. Will the vehicle fall apart when you leave the dealership ?
You are completely right with the compass aspect. as unique as they make the renegade, they could make the compass with unique features.
Looks nice and all,but if you really want one please don't go out and pay full price, you'll be able to get this for almost 10k off sticker by end of year or next year when the dealerships are flooded with thses and need to sell them
Matt Man exactly unless you're interested in leasing?!???
I'll buy a Grand Cherokee over a regular Cherokee. Hate that pointy front.
mini grand cherokee ?
I’ve just bought one in the UK. I got it in magnesio grey. It’s fine. Had an Audi Q3 before & this 2019 Compass of mine just feels like it’s been thrown together in some aspects.
Otherwise, it is fine! Not many on the roads over here either.
My next vehicle!
Worker41 sounds great :D
You will never outlive the poor reputation you will get from the people around you.
So did you get it??
I know I’m two years late but this will be my first car and I’m excited
Paris Holman I would love to have a Jeep for my first car. I’m not sure if I want a compass Cherokee or grand Cherokee. The looks of the compass and grand Cherokee appeal to me more but I still like the more storage in the Cherokee vs the compass

This review was so well put together! Totally what I needed...thanks!
Why is there no review on engine durability when Jeeps are reviewed? I want to know how long this engine will last.
It's a new engine.
I have the 2018 compass with the smaller touch screen the information is the same size there's a lot of black space on that screen and that's also why the radio and climate controls are lower because of that huge screen I have the small screen is just fine and I have a compass also
He's either really Tall or that jeep is damn short
keith banks he stated he's 6'5
He's really tall
My 2018 compass trailhawk has a compass in the apps that’s literally nothing but a giant compass on the screen? Either they added it in or you didn’t look very hard
Holy Detroit wasteland! Looks like Fury Road in the background.
Great car especially in bad weather !!
The host is very tall thats y car is looking small otherwise it is big enough
Finally a descent review. Thanks
No compass? What does SW stand for on the screen? SuperWorthy? And a CR-V starts at $25,000, or almost 20% more. RAV4 $500 more than the Honda. Even an HR-V starts at 21k.
He means an actual little "balled" compass. Not electronic.
love it...bought one!!!!
Except there's LITERALLY a button on the infotainment system of lower trims literally labeled COMPASS
in brazil they didnt put android auto.. or this trunk automatic and etc .
D. K probably cause y'all be shooting each other for the smallest things. be thankful.
Would you recommend this as a first car? Because I'm 18 and looking for one, or should I just buy a used car?
That is a question based on your wants, needs and budget. I bought this for my 17 year olds first car. The Compass is not to small nor too big and has great options for a younger driver. I really liked that the vehicle has safety equipment for a newer driver like a back up camera and sensors, cross path detection, blind spot detection, crash mitigation with auto braking, lane departure warning with lane keep assist, rain sensing wipers, auto high beams, 4 wheel drive with select terrain settings and my younger driver likes the fun options like apple carplay {android auto}, panoramic sunroof, navigation, hands free control of music , climate and texting, remote start and heated seats and wheel.

If you buy used try to get something under warranty to avoid buying someone's previous problems and costly repairs.
Are you guys going to do a why buy video for the RAV4 ?
One of few the best real SUV with 4x4. And probably the most serious looking one. The rest competition is for girls and city hipsters.
im laughing so hard because he makes everything sound like its a let down lmao like even when he's talking about things he likes he sounds unimpressed lmao
Do Jeep Wrangler unlimited next
Pl review 2021 bs6 base sport mt
I never hear of how the radio/stereo sound is. Tinny, bassy, deep etc, can you enjoy music on the highway, how about with Windows open etc...
Beats with sub in Limited UK model ;-)

Sheeesh.. this car is made in India and here we get the beat up version with a smaller screen
Only RHD from India, LHD from Brasil and Mexico.
I love the design, but I still don't trust the quality of the compass.
Being built in Mexico makes it iffy...
Things change
Agreed. I had a Jeep and other Chrysler products. Good content and price. Poor quality. I hope this is better. It certainly looks good but this new model has already been recalled.
Uhh, what? www.cars.com/recalls/jeep-new_compass-2017/
Jeeps are made though
Thanks for this review! Seems like I'll go with the Cherokee

Great review!
As a Cherokee owner I'm offended.
Great review
Love the compass idea Seyth. Never even thought of having a compass in the dash but you are so right. Good Easter egg
These modern jeeps have enough on them already though and are actually kinda cool.
There are two. One on the uconnect screen (it's the NAV button) and on the TFT screen between the speedo and rev (if you want it as it's selectable).
I guess being so tall you did notice that short ladies have their neck pushed forward in the drivers seat, horrible ! gave me stick neck, what can fix that? please cause I'm about to buy one
The head retraint can be tilted icorrectly. Pull forwards at the top and it should spring back and be upright.
purtroppo non ho capito molto. ma il giornalista é bravi e la Jeep é un mio sogno. Aspetto the italian version
great review
What are you talking about. The Honda CR-V is NOT in the same class of the compass.
You are correct!

Fact : Jeep is the first company in the world to bring the SUV car!
Actually that was AMC with the Eagle.....
They should redo the Patriot also. And get rid of the Cherokee
Ironjordan23z Jordan the Cherokee is absolute garbage. I agree
I wish they would upgrade the patriot with v6 and make a cherokee legacy model that looks like the 2000 cherokee I used to own.
Here's a better idea.
Get rid of the Patriot and the Cherokee.
Then rename the Compass the Cherokee.
The new Compass is what the new Cherokee should have been.
Compass doesn't have a compass. Just like the 2013 Chevy Cruze LS doesn't have Cruise Control!
There are two. One on the uconnect screen (it's the NAV button) and on the TFT screen between the speedo and rev (if you want it as it's selectable).
would this make a a good “real” first car?
leasing or buying? if leasing then why not
Is it a requirement that youtube vehicle reviewers have a lisp? I've watched 6 different videos in a row now, all different people, all lithping their atheth off.
Did he realize the area he was driving in? It looked like a war zone...
But in India Jeep is selling low featured jeep compass...
Cause india just need Fking millage
RHD models from India. Mexico and Brasil LHD versions.
wow this thing small
That is why it costs 20% less than a CR-V or RAV4...it is bigger than an HRV and costs the same...
what a stupid comment.. its meant to be smaller than their TWO other larger ones...
I have seen in real life, it looks huge car. Much bigger than cars that bloggers compare to...
No he's tall.
wheels are bit smaller acoording to the built
No! Wheels are huge strart from 17inch to 19 inch that's how all real SUV look like... and always used to look.
Love the reviews but the host needs to ditch the Celtics t-shirt. Bad Boys for life. Deeetroit Basketball.
agreed
Seyth Miersma don't ever forget Robert Parish and Larry Bird. Damn those were some great teams
Lars Sfeihc i
Looks awesome but when i drove it felt like a John Deere tractor
it needs a bigger power plant
Trust me, drive a 6sp manual.
Mystery solved....Sasquatch is real
Holy Shit 😲 this guy is a tree!!! 😂
I'll buy a used one.. One with out touchscreen, which is crap.
they all have touch screens ;)
Uconnect is one of the best. You can use the rotary knobs below for most things.
Competing with a rouge sport are you drunk
Built in fucking Mexico... thanks but no thanks. Build our cars in our countries please
How's the anger management going? Are you really that stupid or just a simple Trump lover?
hey
why is this tall masculine guy speaking in a way only CA Valley girl will speak? AKA: Ends every pulse with a question mark.
It really calls my attention, but.... It is a Jeep made by Fiat... That doesnt convince me at all..
WtrDogg20 Fiat have Maserati Ferrari Alfa Romeo engine no problem american
Wheels to small
Mike Harris - are 'too' small
FCA failed at this. Think of how much better FCA would be if they built reliable vehicles. Better yet, if they had a 2liter turbo petrol (like every other manufacturers that had it for years now) and a torque converter 8 speed auto. That is what all its SUVs should have as an option.
I just bored that🙂
Fuckassss car... COOL...
Ehh, I feel like it's a knockoff version of the Grand Cherokee.
Daniela Carazo so
where did they find a homeless to do the review??? LOL
DEALERS PLEASE STOP OFFERING THIS MODEL MOSTLY IN 4x4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How do the the millions of people driving their crappy fwd cars make it alive thru the winters???

Tavares Taylor agreed
Ugh I like these & 2016 but the reviews are bad
Great review
