First drive: Jeep Compass

Updated

It might not look it, but the launch of the face-lifted Compass in the UK is significant, as it's the first car to be launched under Fiat ownership and also signifies the American brand's resurgence in this country. If you can't remember the Compass the first time round, you wouldn't be the only one, as imports stopped back in 2007, with just 566 sold over the two years it was available.

So if British buyers weren't keen last time, why should they have another look now? Well, for a start it has a more attractive new face and alongside a new version of the classic seven slot grille, there's also a new front bumper, headlights and projector spotlights.
