    Its my mate since ages
    This is a review for the 2017-2021 Jeep Compass that I own, not the Facelift one. So I got my Jeep Compass Limited (O) DCT Petrol from "Pride" - Jeep's local dealership in Rajkot - Gujarat in March 2018. ever since then this has been my daily drive, I have clocked about 50,000 km. in almost 3 yr. span. & below is my experience with the beast- Engine: It is a petrol turbo that makes 160 BHP @5500 RPM, & with a max torque of 250 nm between 2500-4000 rpm, there is enough power on demand but coming from the Skoda Superb TSI petrol (my previous car) & comparing it with the superb, Jeep's engine feels a bit lazy and you have to rev it a bit harder. it did a 0 to 100 km/h in about 10.4 seconds when I tested it. However, the engine is a bit noisy and you might mistake it for diesel on quieter nights (from the outside). Interior: The quality of the interiors, the fit and finish, the overall feel of the car is really good, the major drawback being the infotainment system which is a bit slow and utterly dated. Comfort: This is where it disappoints you a bit, not the front seats it's the rear seats that should have been more inclined or with the option of inclination, they are a bit upright, & the rear-seat passenger loses a bit on comfort. the suspensions on the other hand are meant to take bad roads with ease, I mean sometimes you won't even feel a sizeable pothole. Mileage: Well if you accelerate the car in a nice and easy way (not going flat out on the throttle) it will give you a decent city mileage, let's say around 9-10 km/l. and on the highways, if you choose to cruise around 100-120 km/h. then this thing will get you easily around 14-15 km/l. However, the mileage will go as low as 6 km/l combined if you are a rash city driver and love speeding, let's say around 140-160 km/h on the highways. The Verdict: If you are looking for a proper go-anywhere SUV, the Jeep Compass won't disappoint you a bit. however, if you are looking for cheap options with the world of features, there are other so-called SUVs that are actually cars, E.g. MG Hector, Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta. Trust me the Jeep Compass drives a whole lot better, feels a whole lot grounded even at 140-160kmph., it has got all the core qualities of an SUV, on the other hand, the MGs, the Kia's, the Hyundai's are not true-blue SUVs.
