Jeep Compass MX 1.3 T-GDI Limited - Terrain

Is the Jeep Compass MX 1.3 T-GDI Limited also suitable for off-road use? Here usually a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. For real off-road capability it needs more than just an all-wheel drive. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many cars that look off-road but have limited capability to do so.

Dem Jeep Compass fehlt der Allradantrieb von vornherein. Höchstwahrscheinlich kann man ihn auch nicht durch Aufpreis hinzubuchen, zumindest nicht bei bei dieser speziellen Variante. Wenn Ihnen Allrad wichtig ist, häufig sind diese Eigenschaften den teuersten Modellen der jeweiligen Baureihen vorbehalten. Ground clearance, another important criterion, is 198 mm for this vehicle. This allows it to move forward even in hilly terrain and, for example, on muddy paths in the forest without sitting up, assuming all-wheel drive. Torque is available at 270 Nm, which is something you can start with - but if you pull a lot, you will also feel it properly.

The integrated 360-degree camera can also help you move forward on rough terrain and avoid damage.

Rating: Due to the lack of all-wheel drive and the low ground clearance, the Jeep Compass is not suitable for off-road use.
