Jeep Compass
For many, the Compass isn’t a real Jeep, and they aren’t entirely wrong. However, this is not an error perpetrated by the brand’s marketing's geniuses, but rather a different approach meant to attract a very urbanized clientele. This five-door compact car with high ground clearance is available with front wheel or all-wheel drive. The Compass is powered by one of two four-cylinder engines, respectively 2.0 and 2.4 litres, of 158 and 172 horsepower.
