2014 Jeep Compass is in contrast to other compact crossover SUV with offroad capabilities. Although previous models lost the competition in acceleration and overall development, could be a new six-speed automatic jeep make this a more viable option in 2014. 2014 Jeep Compass gets a new choice of six-speed CVT automatic transmission that the much maligned in most models replaced. An update on small design inside and out is also new, and a reversing camera and upgraded audio system for the Limited. Side airbags in the front seats are now standard across the line.

Compact crossovers have to cover a lot of ground. You must be able to take your mountain bike on a moment. You have to get offer sufficient road capacity to work during a snow storm. You need to be spacious and comfortable for you and a few children. You must provide a semblance of style along with a number of high-tech features. Despite all this, we are not willing to pay much for it. 2014 Jeep Compass is an example of a budget crossover you check all the fields, keeping the bottom line low.

We will review this as soon as you update test a 2014 Jeep Compass, but now, it is certainly worth a visit all the options in the compact crossover SUV segment. If improved off-road capability in a small crossover are a must-have, we recommend a look at the new Subaru Forester Subaru XV or cross Trek. For most SUV owners who rarely, if ever, from the sidewalk, the Ford Escape, are Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Toyota RAV4, some of the best in this class.

The front wheel drive Compass with 2.4-liter engine and automatic transmission does not differ from the 2.0 to 21/28/24 mpg. But even here there is a slight increase for the manual here, and rises to 23/28/25. With all-wheel drive and 2.4, see the 21/27/23 to 23/28/25 is automatic and manual. The optional Freedom Drive II Group offers a very serious 4WD low range gearing and hill descent control, but also requires you to select the available 2.4-liter engine and CVT. With the CVT, the fuel consumption is pretty bad on 20/23/21.
