It will initially cannibalize wrangler sales but it will become a monster in its own right. Look no further than the non Street legal Mahindra Roxor, a CJ clone, atleast answer that product please, Jeep!!
I think they got rid of the patriot for the Cherokee cause when the Cherokee went on sale not long after they stopped making the patriot but kept all the other models
@@Carfan678 understood. But the Patriot had that boxy off roady look, even if it wasn't super off roady. Bring it back as real inexpensive bare bones off roader. Super capable, yet half the size of current Wrangler. Removable top and doors.
Its good to note that the new Compass launched in India beginning of the year! and I got my Compass in March. I was waiting for this update and thankfully it came at a time when I was planning to change it. Except the heated seats( which you don't need in India mostly) we have ventilated cooled seats and all is practically the same. The interior is fabulous.
Really digging the updated Trailhawk look... that said, having test driven a couple of these, Jeep really needs to up the HP by 30-50. TurboShark please!
I also like that, while there is the bigger screen, it's not too big to the point of being invasive. it also has buttons and knobs for basic controls, very welcome in adverse climates.
I have a 2019 compass that I like a lot, I was considering a '22 when I read they have a 4xe version in Europe... kind of disappointed they didn't bring that to the US. Whey my current lease is up next summer, I'll probably end up going with something else.
I would like to see the new 1.5l that is about to Debut in the New Alfa Tonale be implemented in the smaller Jeeps it would be a welcome power boost, Granted the 2.4l is a wee bit underpowered but it if you adapt your driving it isn't that bad. It could be worse
Yes, they released a software update in early 2021 to address it. I had the oil consumption issue with the 2.4 in my 2014 Dart GT and the software update actually fixed it. See link below for details on the recall www.allpar.com/threads/jeep-fix-for-2018-2019-2-4-oil-consumption.236406/
Do you guys see the Cherokee also being updated for 2022? I just ordered a fully loaded Cherokee Trailhawk for 2021. After seeing the news of the Compass this morning, I jumped to place a hold until the 2022s are announced.
Tommy Thanks for the concise review of upcoming Compass marketing promises. Inside and fender refresh, older tech drivetrain, exc 9 spd. How it does drives on/off and whether the space and appointments inside live up to the Marketing words are where it’ll be interesting. Thanks for the pic preview!
@@vette-4-life New WL platform for 2022, seems like everything else is getting stopped for WK. Wait a bit (used car prices are ridiculous right now) and than buy used for this year or last year model or even 2018 or 2019.
I would like to see an SRT4 or SRT6 version of this. They could either use a turbocharged 4 cylinder or the V6 from the bigger Cherokee. Make a manual transmission as standard, maybe?
It makes the IT person in me happy that you said Type A and Type C USB ports. Most auto reviewers say “USB and a type c port.” Which bothers me. So thank you Tommy!
My friend stated that this was one of thee worst vehicle's he's ever owned. The Tigershark should be called the Tigerkitty. It would not get out of it's own way. Lots of issues and warranty claims.
Yeah , they need to upgrade that engine. They do a great job on the interior and exterior and leave that slug of a motor in there. At least give a turbo option.
Hopefully it does not zoom higher in price for a mid range AWD model. Jeep already sells many of its more desirable 4x4 models at super premium prices. Price inflation escalation has definitely moved into Jeep showroom. Have gotten real disinterested in Jeep’s $40,000 starting prices even on their no longer quite so affordable models.
Looks like a nice refresh... BUT they didn't change the turd of engine and transmission which are the weakest points of this Jeep. I'd like to see the 2.0 turbo from the wrangler in this car to make it a much better product
Is no one going to talk about the insane oil consumption this vehicle has? I had to sell my 2018 Compass due to the excessive oil consumption. Went to the dealership, did all the testing Chrysler wanted me to do. And they still denied the engine swap. Ridiculous
Much nicer interior. The last interior just did not feel or look worth the price. This one does, though. I hope they made the seats a little less firm as well. The rock hard seats were a deal breaker for me with the redesigned 2019.
The Compass and Grand Cherokee are 100% the kind of thing that...I know I'm supposed to hate it because it's Chrysler. I've owned a Jeep and it was a miserable experience, and from what I hear it's slightly better but not by much. But they're so cool. They're so well equipped and capable for such a good price. They're so practical.
I leased a 2018 latitude with some upgraded features and loved it……..until my mpg dropped significantly. Smaller than a CRV but gosh Honda radio system is as bad as ToyotaEntune system. SMH
everybody complains about how "weak" the proven 2.4L 180hp-engine is on this little compass, but what about the subaru crosstrek that has even 40 less horsepower, and with no skid plates? talking about double-standards here smh
I had an MK, the Patriot, and it soured my on Jeep. Not a fan of the CVT and constant failing of parts. I bought it new but items failed a lot. I had the FDII package and was like watching the Subaru offroad. Not good at all. As far as I personally am concerned, the only good Jeeps where built in the 90s or earlier.
What's with the weak HP/Torque nowadays? They focus waaaay toooo much on the infotainment and nothing really on performance. All that tech must be really cheap for them to install whilst still charging an inflated amount for an extremely low performance vehicle. This case is closed! We want a reliable well performing JEEP, not a bunch of gadgets to play with whilst waiting for the tow.
The PATRIOT was a much nicer looking vehicle. I HATE the side view of the COMPASS. Our 2011 PATRIOT is now at 385,000 kms with untouched 4 x 4 driveline.
4:37 he said " GRAND CHEROKEE" . It's a compass. But the look of it is great, and it resembles a Jeep Grand Cherokee. subconsciously he thought Grand Cherokee which is exactly what Jeep wanted to do. Jeep is an amazing product. I know so because I've been selling them for 4 years as of now. instagram @jayrubio16 and im from LI and i sell in Queens Village NY. please contact.
It continues to have poor fuel consumption and low horsepower compared to Nissan or Toyota, they only put bigger screens and that is why it is more expensive than the competition.
Bummer to see that just like the Grand Cherokee Jeep is sliding the wrong direction. I have one of the first of the 2nd gens that rolled out in the end of 2017. I am not a fan of the new interior, and disappointed that they retained some of the worst parts of the car and added more garbage to it. I hate what they've done to the Jeep logo on the steering wheel. The floating tablet radio screen design is awful. The 2.4 motor should not exist in anything except for rental fleet cars. Can't believe we still don't get the hybrid option here in the US. I don't want things like self driving, self parking, self braking, etc. I want to be responsible for the vehicle's movements, as a programmer and high school robotics coach I don't trust that tech as far as I can throw it. The active drive low system is a total joke. The only good additions are the surround camera and finally a place to put your cell phone. Other than that, everything else looks to be going the wrong direction in terms of styling, features, and capability. Mine has 55k miles on it now and if it gets totaled in an accident tomorrow I won't be going back for another Compass, maybe not for any Jeep product at all unless they get their priorities sorted out. Good video, though!
@@GIGABACHI I must apologize. The Compass has a 6 speed Aisin automatic. The 9 speed ZF is in the Cherokee and Pacifica. Aisin is owned by Toyota, so it should be far better than the Jatco Nissan CVT that was used.
@@GIGABACHI but wait, there’s more. The 9 speed is standard on the Renegade, which makes little sense considering it’s below the Compass, but the 9 speed is on some Compass models. Anyway, the Jatco CVT is gone.
They dropped the CVT when this current design generation came out in...2017? 2016? One thing you could get was a 6 speed manual in the lower trim with essentially no off road goodies but it looks like they're going 9sp ZF with the face lift. I still don't understand why they keep using that 2.4l ancient motor this should've had at least the 2l turbo for awhile now and you'd think they'd target the Bronco sport at least as competition. Extra tow hooks and only one inch of lift kinda bleh nod to off road. Let's get it to 9.5"of clearance and trick diffs both front and rear I'm tired of "software" off road modes that abuse ABS and extra transmission cogs
I'm confused. Why didn't Jeep cut this from the line up? It has no advantages over the vehicle below it (Renegade) or above it (Cherokee). What's the point here?
I own a 2020 Compass Sport, and I am sticking with it for now. The new interior is great, but my next Jeep will have either a 2.0T or a V6.
Jeep bring the Patriot back as a mini Wrangler. The US version of the Jimny.
It will initially cannibalize wrangler sales but it will become a monster in its own right.

Probably gonna have a choice soon, being its mostly new id bet they wanna use they're engine thats been used for awhile. Hope they give us a 2.0T
@@moose5.9 right! I hope so too.
In Brazil we have that exact Jeep Compass for about two years now. It comes with a diesel here in Brazil with 40+ mpg. The price is about 30-40k USD.
Bravo 👏
That is an outrageous price when you can get a Grand Cherokee for the same amount.
Looks great but that engine needs more hp and t.
I also like that, while there is the bigger screen, it's not too big to the point of being invasive. it also has buttons and knobs for basic controls, very welcome in adverse climates.
Yeah, but how many Andre's can it fit in the rear cargo area?
Beautiful job inside and out. They need to make the arm rest storage bigger with two compartments.
Love the look of the Compass. Glad to see the tech updates. Interested to see how it handles some simple off-road test.

They are keeping the worst part about it, that's the gutless 2.4 tiger shark. Put the pentastar v6 in it or a turbo

well, the baby Pentastar 3.2L that the Cherokee gets would be a great option...and would probably fit! (Or heck, the 2.0L Turbo...)
Really a compass that engines like the size of the compass lol
Compass Hellcat, nuff said.
I had that same tiger shark in my 2012 Kia Forte hatch and I think it was even in my 08 Kia Rondo. Time to retire it.
Has Jeep addressed and corrected the 2.4L oil consumption problem that caused a class action lawsuit?

I had a 2018 Compass, it was great except the Tigershark drinks oil like crazy. Get used to checking that dipstick often.
why don't they put a good engine in there. my old compass trailhawk was a pain to drive because of its engine. so slow and sluggish

No hybrid?
