Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The Compass enters 2021 with minor changes. There's a new 80th Anniversary Edition that's based on the Latitude trim level and features Granite Crystal 19-inch wheels, leather seats with contrast stitching, a power-adjustable driver's seat, remote start, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, a 115-volt power outlet, and more. Other flourishes include trim-specific badging, an oak medallion key fob, and piano-black and gunmetal interior accents.

Pros
Can actually handle some off-road obstacles,
no shortage of popular technology,
one of the prettier Jeep designs.

Cons
Inferior interior materials,
powertrain has apathetic responses,
the Cherokee offers more capability.

The 2021 Jeep Compass's #14 ranking is based on its score within the Compact SUVs category. Currently the Jeep Compass has a score of 6.7 out of 10, which is based on our evaluation of 34 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

CONS
Weak engine and so-so handling

The 2021 Jeep Compass skimps on safety and seat comfort, but delivers crossover utility in a compact footprint.

Pros
Sharp-looking sheetmetal
Standard touchscreen with smartphone tech
Capable Trailhawk trim
Good cargo space

Cons
Sloppy 9-speed automatic
Sub-par crash test scores
Cramped rear seat
Automatic emergency braking not standard

The MU-X may look and feel a bit more basic than the Everest or Fortuner, but its tough Isuzu truck underpinnings is this SUV’s secret weapon. Isuzu also builds big commercial engines, designed to be reliable and robust, and that DNA is this engine.

Pros
Great new engine
Capable off-roader
Decent third row

Cons
Cabin is starting to age
Boot is smaller than some rivals
No advanced safety equipment

By:

Like the D-MAX ute on which it's based, the evolution of Isuzu UTE's MU-X seven-seat SUV has remained relatively slow, its latest update headlined by extra torque from its 3.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel (now 130kW and 430Nm, up from 380Nm) and a new six-speed automatic transmission (previously five).

Pros
Rugged and practical
Very comfy ride
Drop-down rear video unit

Cons
Lacking some new safety tech
Turbo lag from a standing start
Rather basic cab trim
