Dublin to Schull and back in a hybrid Jeep Compass

26 August 2026

Last week Shane took the hybrid-powered Jeep Compass to Schull in West Cork and back - from Dublin. It proved comfortable for the trip, though the driver-assistance bongs and beeps can be a little tiresome even when you are sticking rigidly to the speed limit. Still, it managed the trip with fuel to spare from a full tank, averaging 6.1 litres/100km over nearly 850km of driving. However, the Compass doesn't quite do enough to distance itself from all the other Stellantis SUVs of the same size, despite the myriad Jeep 'Easter eggs' scattered around the car.

Hybrid Jeep Compass on test

Shane has the hybrid version of the new Jeep Compass on test and despite the dull brown paintwork it's getting a lot of attention. It looks decent and has a way better interior than before, but are all these Stellantis group SUVs a bit too similar for their own good?

On test: Jeep Avenger 4xe

13 August 2026

Neil’s other test car this week also has stickers, but they’re less naff than those on the Opel Mokka GSE, and the Jeep Avenger 4xe remains one of his favourite cars. It’s small, but eager, pugnacious, and actually pretty good fun. Also, it really can go off-road and do all the proper rugged Jeep stuff. The downside? It’s pricey, and very small in the back. (This is not the facelifted one)
