2010 Jeep Compass 4x4 Review

For all of you that have stuck with the Jeep SUVs over the years, the Compass 4x4 is probably not the most relevant vehicle for you. The Compass is a 4 cylinder engine, and more or less a "car". This isn't an off-road vehicle for you. It's appearance is more that of a standard car, but with the Jeep look.

A Compass is a Jeep, no doubt about that. With the signature seven-vertical-slot grille, round headlights, and trapezoidal wheel arches in athletic but not muscle-bound flared fenders, it could only be a Jeep, and bears a more-than-passing resemblance to the first-generation Liberty. It does -- appropriately -- have a more car-like, or crossover-like, look, with a sloping, curved windshield, arched roofline (with built-in luggage rack, of course), triangular D-pillars, and decidedly un-boxy proportions and profile. The strong shoulder line and distinct fender flares give it a healthily muscular look, no steroids, and large taillights give it presence from the rear.
