2017 Jeep Compass review, road test

The top-spec Compass’ 7.0-inch touchscreen is nice but isn’t the slickest of systems in terms of response. Your go-to interface for audio and phone functions, the screen also houses secondary controls for the climate control system. Sadly, the Compass only comes with a digital compass as standard; there’s no onboard satellite navigation. Voice commands work well for handsfree operation of the audio player and air con but the system rarely catches Indian names if you try to make a call off your phone book. Many, however, will simply take up the option to use Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Sound quality from the six-speaker setup is good with a pleasing depth to the notes.
