Jeep's facelifted Compass SUV has scored a poor two-star rating in the latest round of European crash testing.
The European New Car Assessment Program (EuroNCAP) issued a statement about the score of the Compass, saying it had "underachieved" in most areas and showed "poor protection levels".
It was against these revised parameters that the Jeep struggled, with the Compass scoring just 23 per cent in the pedestrian protection rating - with the car's bumper scoring no points for pedestrian leg protection while the general pedestrian rating was either poor or marginal, which in turn limited the car to two stars. Its score of 43 per cent for safety assistance was also weak, with EuroNCAP saying the car's seatbelt reminders "did not meet EuroNCAP's requirements".
The Compass' passenger safety scores were also less than stellar, with the adult occupant protection rated at 61 per cent, while the child protection rating was scored at 76 per cent.
To put that into perspective, the current top-scorer in the compact SUV class, the Audi Q3, managed 94 per cent for adult protection and 85 per cent for child protection.

My boss who has "zero common sense" owned a Suzuki Jimmy. He rolled it nearly killed his wife in the process she ended up totally paralysed down one side, police wanted to charge him with dangerous driving, attempted murder but his wife dropped the charges.
His next car was a Patriot enough said "intelligence of people that own them". It kinda tickled me when he come back to work and said his wife might still be able to drive again, but she would have to take her driving test again, to which somebody replied it's not her that should be taking the test, its you, you murderer.
Jeep Compass 2 stars NCAP rated is still like a third world countries poor car design, when it comes to crash protection, they are a deathtrap. I would not lets any of my family go anywhere near an unsafe dodgy Compass (Well with maybe with the exception of the Mother-In-Law).
