Reviews SummaryThe 2006 Jeep Commander fills a missing piece to the off-road brand’s lineup. The big 3-row SUV has imposing styling, available V8 engines, and seating for up to 7 passengers. It slots above other mid-size SUVs like the Ford Explorer but under full-size SUVs like the Expedition. Compared to these vehicles, the Commander has terrific off-road ability but lacks cabin quality, cabin space, and towing capability. | |
Reviews SummaryThe 2024 Compass Sport carries over last year's major powertrain upgrade without any increase to the base price: $28,400. That's less than the littlest Jeep, the Renegade, and nearly $10,000 below the similarly-sized Cherokee. It's also cheaper than a Ford Escape and many other compact SUVs but without the bargain-bin interior of older Compass models. While upper trims get too pricey for their britches, the base-model Compass we tested provides real value in an era where new-car prices increase every few months. Verdict: The 2024 Jeep Compass offers good tech and impressive safety features, and it arrives with a sub-$30,000 base MSRP. The Compass still lags behind some of the competition in terms of materials quality and performance. Now in its second year past a 2023 facelift, however, it’s many strides better than older iterations. | |
