Question 1

Is the Jeep Compass nine-speed automatic reliable?

Accepted Answer

It generally holds up, provided its oil was changed and its software kept up to date. On a test drive, watch for hesitant or jerky shifts at low speed, especially while the gearbox is cold.

Question 2

Which Jeep Compass has the DDCT dual-clutch gearbox?

Accepted Answer

The front-wheel-drive petrol versions, first with the 1.4 MultiAir and later with the 1.3 turbo. Its dry clutches prefer open roads to stop-start traffic, so check for judder when pulling away.

Question 3

Is a used Jeep Compass 4xe worth buying?

Accepted Answer

It suits drivers who can charge at home, since the battery covers short daily trips on electricity and a rear electric motor gives four-wheel drive. Check that the charging cable comes with the car and that electric mode works.

Question 4

What versions does the new Jeep Compass come in?

Accepted Answer

The new Compass comes as a 1.2 or 1.5 mild hybrid of 145 or 130 hp, a plug-in hybrid of 225 or 240 hp, and an electric of 213 to 375 hp, all automatic. Trims step up from Business and Altitude to Summit, with North Star, Upland and Overland on some versions.
