JEEP is facing an uphill battle at the moment with a noticeable drop in sales over the past few years. So, when the company releases a new-generation model, it’s important to pay attention, because this might be the one to reverse its fortunes.

So, is the Compass able to pull off its double-act? Or is it more a case of an experiment gone wrong? We test the Compass in Limited petrol form to find out.
