TO THE POINT
What’s New? The new 2007 Jeep Compass is a small SUV built on the same platform as the 2007 Dodge Caliber, meaning it’s made for driving on the road rather than off of it.
Selling Points: Refined ride, affordable price, good head/leg room, several unique interior features, long list of standard safety equipment
Deal Breakers: Limited off-road capability, rear seat only suitable for two adults, slightly odd styling
Our Advice: If you’re looking for a civilized compact SUV for suburban adventures, the 2007 Jeep Compass is definitely worth considering. If you need true off-road capability, hold out for the forthcoming Jeep Patriot.

Before the 2007 Compass, Jeep never had a front-wheel drive product in its line-up. For those looking for the added peace-of-mind all-wheel drive brings when the weather turns ugly, Jeep offers Freedom Drive I on the Compass. This all-new system sends most of the power to the front wheels for better fuel economy until sensors detect a possible loss of traction. For negotiating deep snow or dicey off-road stretches, the system also features a “Lock” mode that transfers up to 60 percent of torque to the rear wheels at low speeds.
