LEATHER, HEATED SEATS, HEATED WHEEL, REMOTE START, BLIND SPOT, FORWARD COLLISION BRAKING A compact Jeep has to fit a Portage driveway and still get you through a January morning. The Jeep Compass North is sized for the first and equipped for the second. The Fathom Blue Pearl Coat exterior keeps its look through the salt and slush season instead of showing every speck of it. It comes with cloth and leather trimmed seats. The 4x4 is not a nice to have in this province, it is the point, and this unit carries it. 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. Where it counts for winter, the interior brings heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and remote start. After one cold snap you stop thinking of them as extras. The cabin keeps up on tech, bringing Uconnect 5 and keyless entry so the daily stuff is one tap away instead of buried in a menu. The driver assistance kit is genuinely well stocked: Blind Spot Monitoring, Forward Collision Warning with active braking, Active Lane Management, and a rear camera. The drivetrain pairs a 2.0L turbocharged four cylinder with 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. The bottom line: it is priced to move and ready to drive home. Book a test drive at Dunn Ram Trucks in Portage la Prairie, a straight hour from Winnipeg.
