LEATHER, HEATED SEATS, HEATED WHEEL, REMOTE START, BLIND SPOT, FORWARD COLLISION BRAKING You should not have to buy a big truck just to get traction you can trust in winter. The Jeep Compass North delivers that in a footprint that parks anywhere. It wears Diamond Black Crystal Pearlcoat, a finish that hides road film and winter grime better than a bright colour ever will. It is dressed with cloth and leather trimmed seats. For a Prairie winter the 4x4 is the feature that earns its keep, and it is here. For the rough stretch of the drive, it brings Selec-Terrain traction management, which dials the 4x4 in for surfaces like snow, sand, mud or rock. Inside is where this one is set up the right way for our winters, with heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and remote start. On a minus 28 morning that is the difference between dreading the drive and not thinking about it. On the tech side it carries Uconnect 5 and keyless entry, so the phone, the map, and the music stay where your hands already are. On the safety side it carries Blind Spot Monitoring, Forward Collision Warning with active braking, Active Lane Management, and a rear camera. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged four cylinder, paired to the 8 speed automatic. Officially it returns 8.9 L per 100 km combined, reasonable for the size and class. The reassuring part for a buyer keeping a vehicle a long time is the coverage behind it: this Jeep is backed by Jeep Canada's 5 year or 100,000 kilometre powertrain warranty, so the engine, transmission, and driveline are looked after well past the loan. Here is the honest take: the value here is real, and it is ready to roll. Book a test drive at Dunn Ram Trucks in Portage la Prairie, a straight hour from Winnipeg. Financing and preapproval can be arranged, and if you cannot make the trip we deliver.
