CAR Magazine March 2020

Test of the Jeep Compass 2.4 4x4 TrailHawk:

It has a 2.4 motor producing a low 129kW & a very low 229Nm
By comparison the Mazda CX-5 2.5AWD puts out 143kW & 258Nm
The RAV4 2.5 AWD has a class leading 152kW & 243Nm which places it's torque figure between that of the Mazda and Jeep.

The Jeeps competitors (CX-5, RAV4 & Tiguan) are all better built too.

CAR rated CX-5 1st, RAV4 2nd & the Jeep last.

Not surprising Jeep's don't sell here...



BTW: You can get a JAC Double Cab 4x4 brand new with a 5year 150 000km warranty for R400k
A Mahindra S11 4x4 Auto Double Cab is R415k.

To be honest I have never ever driven a JAC or any Mahindra product in my life.
Does one need to?.

Not my style either, but, I think it's value for the money you pay. Look at Hyundai when they came out. Everybody pulled their noses up at it, and look what a fine car it turned out to be.

Since when does "Just-Ask-Cobus" make double cabs?

I thought he was an Amarok guy.

Or at least one of the 6 Cobuses...

[Ricof4e]

That Jeep is kak value for money. No further discussion needed.

However, I'll bet that with the TrailHawk 4x4 system, it will outperform any of its rivals on a 4x4 course - even with Wayneman behind the wheel.

One actually has to get sold second hand to make the list.

[Mad Manny]

Used Jimny's seem to sell for close to what the seller paid for it new.

[BushWacker]

OK, so they're investments, like Defenders?

Not even close. One has to factor in the costs of back surgery and set it off against the selling price.
