The new Jeep Compass, a smaller and smarter SUV has been officially launched in the UK. Our first impressions were good and it packs a lot of punch for the price, starting at £23K, which is pretty competitive.
The Jeep brand has a prestigious history and now that Chrysler has allied with Fiat we expect this brand to grow in value and market share. In fact they saw sales rise by 19% in 2016 which is very impressive in such a saturated market.
