November 22, 2017
JEEP has announced the pricing and specification for the all-new Compass ahead of its arrival here in February 2018 and with a starting price of just £22,995 for the 1.6 MultiJet 120 MTX FWD the new car represents great value for money.
The all-new Compass offers a contemporary but authentic Jeep design, an array of advanced user-friendly connectivity and safety technologies, excellent on-road driving dynamics, open-air freedom and legendary 4×4 off-road capability.
The new vehicle represents a key addition to the Jeep line-up, allowing the brand to tackle the important and growing compact SUV segment, that is expected to grow by almost 20 per cent to 7.5 million in 2020. In Europe alone, this segment amounts to more than 1.6 million and is expected to achieve more than two million units by 2020.
