A well conceived but horribly executed attempt to create an upmarket SUV with Jeep’s unique DNA. Lots of kit but precious little class thanks to a cabin swathed in tacky materials and a so-so drive featuring coarse 2.4 petrol and under-powered 2.0 diesel engines. Costs little, worth less.
Buyer beware!As for the Patriot – the 2.0 diesel was great in the VW Golf, but it’s working hard to shift the Compass around.
