One quick disclaimer may change the meaning of the whole paragraph with a similar phenomenon now and then face behind the wheel krilanovich crossover...
The base price of the Jeep Compass in Russia is 1,210,000 rubles. The most noticeable changes are the more "serious" appearance and the more elegant interior. Burnishing of the hardware is not so critical-but still engineers of Chrysler without major changes to the gasoline engine (2.4 l/170 l.) and the gearbox, they reconfigured, for example, the suspension. How is this combination of old and new?The first impression of the "inner world" Compass is definitely positive. It may be that from the point of view of arithmetic and geometry, the crossover is far to the record, but subjectively on the front seats is very simple. As colleagues love to speak, there is plenty of room, and "air": often ergonomics are thought to be thought of as a millimetre, all the keys and keys you get from the first time, you don't get to stumble and stumble-you don't feel 100% comfortable. In the Compass salon, this comfort is reachable, though not everyone believes in it, looking at the pictures: someone at the central console seems too massive and intrusive, someone considers the entire front panel of the unjustifiable front-but nothing more than inference. In fact, in the case of the extreme crossover, "you live" instantly-unless the seat adjustments need to be more than on other machines, time. It is not ideal to fit the chair in three clicks, but if you spend the next five minutes without reproaches against the developers of the chair, and on the manipulation of the settings, the desired result will be achieved within a reasonable time. And the monumental forms of the central console with large climate control knobs (which do not miss) are much clearer and more organically than fashionable at the current time of the console in the "keyboard" style, on which several dozens of small buttons and displays of displays are scattered ...Compass is available on the Russian market in one single version Limited "Obsoliently" in the cabin, it is time to start the engine and start moving-but before that it is necessary to make a first reservation: everything will be less so in motion. The instrument panel will show a bit less of the size of the car, and it will give you a strange sensation. On the one hand, the necessary information is read without the voltage (and the double digitization of the speedometer does not interfere). On the other, subconsciously, the case is drawn closer to the scales. What exactly is the fault-the size of the bulkhead itself, or perhaps too much of the visor of the front panel so distorts the proportions-but that little "shenanigans" has not gone missing and in a couple of days at Compass. A reservation of size hidden beneath the steering column-decent dimensions of the stamping on the plastic panel is located exactly where the knee of the right foot must be at the time of brake application. The attempt to detrate the problem from the seat adjusted the situation did not make it easy: the knee still fell into the plastic, though not so much. Of course, this is not a tragedy, because with a certain flexibility it is possible not to move a foot from one pedal to another, but to pull the foot and pull one of the corners of the brake pedal. But such gymnastics at the wheel of a car, costing more than a million rubles does not seem appropriate. The basic equipment consists of four airbags, climate control, heated front seats and a driver's electric drive, as well as an audio system with four speakers and a CD-checker, of course, a certain amount of free time at the driver's Compass is available-it is not necessary to closely monitor on-road roughness. The whole standard set of holes, cracks, docks and trapdoor pendant "American" in full compliance with expectations from it "swallows" almost without a trace. Even noise effects are reduced to a reasonable minimum thanks to good noise insulation. And what is most pleasant, with such a dignified pace of walking and the reverse side-manageability-the crossover is quite decent. The relatively high centre of gravity and the reasonably mild suspension do not make it excessive and do not require any adjustment to the usual "light" driving algorithms. And you get used to the unfamiliar things quickly-for example, a gearshift lever, which in manual mode (Compass is sold in Russia only with a variant of six "virtual" transfers), has to be pummeling to the right-to the left, not backward-forward. Of course, Compass is not designed for a dynamic race, and there is no inherent risk, neatly pushing the lever forward, "punting" it to position P. But after a few days, this non-standard scheme seems as appropriate as possible, and the habitual algorithm-something unnatural and unnatural ...This stamping under the steering column leads to the adoption of new paedalising techniques, but an important reservation is needed: however good the algorithm of diversion, the constant desire to tamper with automatic transmission is not a very good sign. There is a certain percentage of auto-owners who are accustomed to keep under control and picking machines just to forget about the clutch pedal, but the average driver will speed up quickly and (with the good combination of the engine and machine) it will be very rare to turn on hand-over manually. When driving Compass, the right hand can leave the lever in peace only at a very monotonous movement on the empty country road or empty night streets. Because the crossover is not such a large mass (1,586 kg) with petrol atmospheric motor (2.4 l/170 l.) is not going-at least not going to the declared horsepower manufacturer. Attempts to move more or less do not bring any satisfaction: and the noise is not good, and the noise is a lot-the engine, trying not to shirk definitively, keeps its high turnover longer. As a result, the driver, having lost hope, manually switches up-to feel sorry for his ears. And it occupies the row, where the need for reconstructions and other maneuvers associated with a relatively fast speed set is reduced to a minimum. Turbodiesel (2.2 litre/163 l.) Compass is in a different way, but the Russian market only supplies gasoline. Even the leather interior is on the list of standard equipment, and in the list of options two packages (advanced audio and enhanced security) and two separate items (manhole and discs of 18 inches in diameter). And the description of the transmission does not mean that the celerus is storming. By default, Compass is practically an front-wheel-drive vehicle, and the electromagnetic interference sends not more than five percent of the torque to the rear wheels. There is no reduction in transmission or locking of interloper differential differentials-that is, from the point of view of the advanced jeeper, the machine looks "toothless". However, there is also a reason for reservations here. First, the Compass has good crossover dimensions of the body and the ground clearance. Secondly, it has the minimum necessary options for an easy-to-go soft option: the forced blocking of the muff, after which the car becomes fully 4x4, and electronic simulation of differential locking on both axes. Of course, this does not make him a forger, but some of the problem areas-the horses, the sections with slightly remorse ground, the nonrelenting fractures of the relief-Compass overcome with confidence. And the future owners of this car, calling it a crossover, may be able to say, "but with great opportunities." The volume of the boot is about 458 l, it increases to 1,269 l Basic price of the Jeep Compass in Russia-1,210,000 rubles Compass is available on the Russian market. and in the list of options, two packages (advanced audio and enhanced security) and two separate items (a hatch and a disk diameter of 18 inches), this stamping under the steering column causes the new techniques of the boot to be used, the volume of the boot is about 330 l, with folded seats, it is increased to 1270 l
