The cladding on this new building reflects the light playing on another one nearby. I like the colours. Viewed large it looks as if the Jeep Compass has a parking ticket under the windscreen wiper!

At the premises of the former Fiat Lingotto head-office building I saw some interesting wrapped-up cars.
At first I couldn't identify these vehicles while all details and emblems were covered. But somewhere I recognized it as a Jeep. At home I figured out which model it was.
I still don't know the meaning of this fancy wrap. But maybe it is a new fashion craze in Torino, while I saw three more wrapped expensive automobiles driving in the city.
I believe this car is really brand new. It even doesn't have a license plate yet.
The Jeep Compass Series was introduced in 2006 (with code MK49). This one is from the 2nd generation (code MP/522) which debuted on Sept. 27, 2016 in Brazil and two month later in Los Angeles.

The Compass is also assembled in Melfi, Italy by SATA.
The Compass is offered with petrol and Diesel engines as well as a hybrid.

The Jeep Compass (MK49) is a compact crossover SUV
introduced for the 2007 model year. Like the Jeep Patriot the Copass is built on the DaimlerChrysler/Mitsubishi GS platform. These vehicles are differentiated by their styling and marketing: The Patriot is a traditionally styled 4-door Jeep wagon, while the Compass shares a more hatchback look, similar in terms to the Dodge Caliber
For the 2011 facelift, Jeep redesigned the Compass to more closely resemble the Grand Cherokee, while keeping its own identity. The 2011 Jeep Compass also receives a revised suspension for better handling, a revised interior with more standard equipment, and more option packages including a Freedom Drive II Off-Road Package which includes a continuously variable transmission fitted with a low-range setting, all-terrain tires inside 17-inch aluminum wheels, skid plates, a four-wheel-drive system, and an increase ground clearance of a full inch.
The Compass uses a 172 hp (128 kW) 2.4 liter GEMA I4 gasoline engine. The 2.0 liter GEMA engine is available on the 4X2 Sport model. A 2,0 liter l-R4 CRD 103 kW (140 PS) Volkswagen-designed diesel engine is available for the European and Australian markets. This engine is the same as used in the Volkswagen Passat. The Compass also features two electronically controlled four-wheel drive systems Freedom Drive I and Freedom Drive II, Freedom Drive I is a full-time four-wheel drive system with locking capabilities; Freedom Drive II is based on Freedom Drive I but by using the vehicle's CVT transmission it is capable of a 19:1 gear reduction simulating a low-range usually found in vehicles with dedicated transfer cases. However, the base model version has only Front wheel drive (FWD), a first for any Jeep.
The first generation Compass was superceeded by the second generation, MP552, for the 2018 model year

Yet another new and obscure Chinese sourced diecast brand and one which have some fairly unusual and rarely modelled vehicles in its line up. Obviously they are all unlicensed and a bit clunky but I don't remember seeing too many, if any, 1/64 models of the damn uuuuugly Jeep Compass!
A fair representation nicely finished and riding on rather smart looking wheels. Part of a six vehicle Pocket Car branded set. Mint and boxed.
The Jeep Compass was introduced by DaimlerChrysler in 2006. It's about the same size as the Jeep Patriot but has a more cross-over like styling. In 2011 the Compass was facelifted and got a front end in the style of the Grand Cherokee.
Looking for adventure

The 2007 Jeep Compass is a crossover vehicle that’s trying to tiptoe into car territory mated to some of the performance features of an SUV
JEEP HAS ALWAYS CARRIED THAT MACHO GO anywhere image that dictates off-road performance and the Compass points towards Jeep’s brand new
direction – they want to manufacture cars now! The puppy dog eyes and rounded body panels soften off-road aggressive looks of a normal 4x4. Officially the closest relative to the Compass is the Dodge Caliber (which shares a similar chassis and body
shell) with a larger heart. The 2.4 litre, DOHC, dual VVTI-4 gasoline engine works hard to pump out 170 hp maxing out at 6000 RPM. Torque (essential off the road)
of 220 Nm peaks at 4500 RPM. The sequential multipoint injection engine is mated to a CVT2 (continuously variable transmission) auto box with a simulated 6-speed
stick shift. Transmission via the full time 4WD Freedom Drive-I technology is smooth and silky. The throttle is of the Euro-box kind which has a very interesting feature – a
firm detent at the end of its travel, bury your right foot and the 4 potter zings all the way to 6000 RPM and stays there!
Gearshifts are smooth and it manages to clock a 0-100 kph time of 9.5 seconds, which is tolerable for this 1.5 tonner. Being Jeep, I had to take it off the road for some sand bashing. Despite the absence of a full frame, live axle and locking differential, the Compass’s 8.1-inch ground clearance was on its side. A neat “4WD Lock” switch that could be engaged (at any speed) to force electronic coupling of the wheels and sends about 50% of the power to the rear wheels did the trick. In the desert
back-roads of Bahrain the CVT2 box didn’t do justice to the torque produced by the engine. It lacked the slap-jerk motion that is required at times and the tyres (215/60 R17 alloy rims, which were all-weather road tyres) didn’t do much in terms of traction. But I have to mention that I was clearly pushing it to the limit, for which only a “high end” SUV’s that cost a dollop could tackle.
Off road performance is at par with excellent track and comfortable ride. Whoever designed the suspension just dug into the Jeep parts bin and concocted an all independent design that can actually be used on a rally track. With gas charged shocks and stabilizer bars up front and rear, off road manners were satisfying.
Coming back onto the black, the Jeep absorbs undulations on the road well, just like a car, but on braking or high speed turns it pitches and rolls like a puppy on
marble. The power steering is effective but languid and lack road feel and toughening up at higher speeds.
Understeer is noticeable but controllable with a slight opposite flick. The brakes are mushy and grabby but don’t compromise stopping performance ABS and EBD with
ESP are standard. In-cabin amenities aren’t many and the fit and finish of the panels is again “hard” to describe. A 6-Speaker single CD audio system graces the dash, the arm rests have fake plastic-metal panels and doors have storage space for soda
cans. The rear cabin lights have an incorporated flip out flash-light for night excursions. The rear seat legroom is above average, the front centre arm
rest assembly intrudes into the leg area. Seats are comfortable and height adjustable for the driver and steering is adjustable for rake and reach. 60/40 split rear
seats are well designed and easy to use. Rear cargo bay is low and easy for stowage, floor panels are removable and washable.
The best part about the switchgear is that Jeep has kept it simple and easy to read. The Speedo console provides all the details like outside temperature, current cd audio track, fuel efficiency and a nifty two-letter compass to display vehicle heading. Air conditioner cools well for the size of cabin space. In terms of safety seatbelts with pre-tensioners and 4 air bags protect the occupants.
Last word
The Compass is all things to all men (and women). It competes directly with other crossovers in the market. The quality of the fit and finish of the vehicle are at par with
other American vehicles which may fail to excite but looking at the broader canvas, the Compass offers an excellent value for money proposition aimed at people who
would want some of the thrills of an off-roader without the in-city hassles of owning an SUV. The Compass delivers in terms of ride, handling and comforts that are like a car and 4x4 capability gives it an edge over normal cars. Available in Limited trim, the list of optional extras increases manifold with other creature comforts added. It might look
big and beefy but is actually easy to potter around town in by lanes. The car tends to grab attention with its puppy dog looks. It made me smile even when it got stuck!
