  2007 Jeep Compass Review, Prices, Photos: New Car Test Drive
Oh, the Compass will be available in a four-wheel-drive version, but this Jeep is designed primarily for the urban jungle and for returning decent fuel economy as it negotiates not muddy or rocky trails but tangled traffic on freeways.
Jeep says the Compass combines the packaging and functionality of a compact crossover sport utility vehicle with the performance, handling, fuel economy and price of a compact car or small pickup truck.
Target customers for the Compass are single or recently married professionals in their 20s, 30s or 40s who are "independent and family-oriented," if you accept those terms as something other than contradicting each other.

 CanadianDriver: First Drive - 2007 Jeep Compass
At the Jeep Compass launch in rugged Oregon, Jeep's Jack Dolan had already explained that the Compass, while not the trail-rated rock crawler of Rubicon fame, was not a total poseur (well, he didn't exactly put it that way, but you get the idea).
But there's no doubt that this Jeep, built on the Dodge Caliber base front-drive platform with a compliant fully independent suspension that gives a very smooth ride on the highway, is something of a Jeep-lite, when it comes to genuine off-road cred'.
Carefully, we turned the Compass around (it fortunately has a compact turning circle), selected the equivalent of first gear from the six simulated gears available in manual mode of the continuously variable transmission, and began our descent.

Jeep has a great deal of credibility with the trail riding off-roaders, but the market is changing.

Jeep unveiled its new compact crossover in Detroit at the NAIAS in January, a car that points the brand in an entirely new direction.
While the Compass isn't for hard core off-roading, the 4x4 system will help on ice and snow clogged city roads, and as mentioned, it offers decent ground clearance which should translate into reasonable capabilities on the trail.
Overall, Jeep has created a solid compact crossover for city dwellers whose regular off-road endeavors involve nothing more than negotiating speed bumps and jumping the odd curb, but for who style, comfort and driving something with Jeep branding goes a long way.
