In terms of sheer capability the Jeep Compass has always been held in high regard as far as compact SUVs go. Its achilles heel was always the relatively spartan interiors. Now of course the 2021 Jeep Compass is here, that builds on the original Compass’ rugged, off road credentials with a new fascia and much more tech on the inside.

We took it out for a drive to see how much it has changed, and whether it justifies the price point.
