You’re looking at the most affordable offering from the revived Jeep Malaysia – the Jeep Compass compact crossover SUV launches in the country in a sole Limited trim variant.
Looking perhaps the most ‘urban’ of them all, the facelifted Compass MK is powered by a 2.4 litre DOHC dual-VVT four-cylinder engine that produces 170 hp at 6,000 rpm and 220 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm, with a six-speed auto doing transmission duties. Freedom Drive active full-time 4WD with selectable Lock is available as standard.
Equipment courtesy of the top Limited trim includes 18-inch aluminium wheels covered in 215/55 rubber, leather upholstery, a six-way power adjustable driver’s seat with manual lumbar adjustment, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and cruise control switches. The 60:40-split rear seats are reclinable.
Auto single-zone air-con and a sunroof are also available; so is a 6.5-inch Uconnect touch-screen with voice command, Bluetooth, DVD and MP3. Sound comes in through nine Boston Acoustic speakers, including subwoofer and two flip-down liftgate speakers.
Suspension comprises MacPherson struts up front and a multi-link setup out back, while steering is of the hydraulic power-assisted type. Six airbags, ESC and Electronic Roll Mitigation are among the safety equipment on board.
Like the others, the Jeep Compass Limited is fully-imported (CBU) from the US, and will set you back RM248,889, OTR without insurance (or RM255,651 with insurance). Offered is a five-year/150,000 km warranty. See CarBase.my for full specifications.

nice one! 50k cheaper than Wrangler with more safety equpiment than it!
i didn even know this car was still on sale
The Compass may be the most affordable, but honestly for the price, it looks dated. More so compared to the more modern Cherokee and Grand Cherokee. For the size, I’d go for a CRV 2.4 instead. Or if I wouldn’t mind the slightly smaller dimensions, a CX5 or Kuga. For the price of the Compass, you could actually get a new Land Rover Freelander, or even a CPO BMW X3.
Not to mention the rather scathing reviews of the Compass.
Most outrageous comeback for a brand to be honest. A RM249k entry level for a basic 4×4 roundabout…? I’ll just wait for a year and maybe can get it for the price of an Alza…
I had driven this rental car in US b4. Trust me, toyota rav4 is better.
Can I convert it into Grand Cherokee?
