The Longitude sits above the entry-grade Sport in the Jeep Compass line-up at $33,750.

Standard features on the Longitude grade include a 5.0-inch touchscreen, reversing camera, six-speaker stereo with digital radio, leather-wrapped steering wheel, auto headlights and wipers, roof rails, tinted rear glass, passenger seat storage and 17-inch alloy wheels.

The Longitude is available only with a 2.4-litre 129kW/229Nm four-cylinder petrol engine and six-speed automatic transmission. If you’re after an all-wheel drive you’ll have to step up to the Limited or Trailhawk as all Sports are front-wheel drive only.

The Jeep Compass scored the maximum five-star ANCAP score when it was tested in 2017, and while the Longitude does have seven airbags, traction and stability control and ABS it does not come standard with advanced safety equipment such as AEB – you’ll have to option that feature.

Senior Journalist
Laura Berry is a best-selling Australian author and journalist who has been reviewing cars for almost 20 years.  Much more of a Hot Wheels girl than a Matchbox one, she grew up in a family that would spend every Friday night sitting on a hill at the Speedway watching Sprintcars slide in the mud. The best part of this was being given money to buy stickers. She loved stickers… which then turned into a love of tattoos. Out of boredom, she learnt to drive at 14 on her parents’ bush property in what can only be described as a heavily modified Toyota LandCruiser.   At the age of 17 she was told she couldn’t have a V8 Holden ute by her mother, which led to Laura and her father laying in the driveway for three months building a six-cylinder ute with more horsepower than a V8.   Since then she’s only ever owned V8s, with a Ford Falcon XW and a Holden Monaro CV8 part of her collection over the years.  Laura has authored two books and worked as a journalist writing about science, cars, music, TV, cars, art, food, cars, finance, architecture, theatre, cars, film and cars. But, mainly cars.   A wife and parent, her current daily driver is a chopped 1951 Ford Tudor with a V8.
