The car has an upper edge of 4-wheel drive as its competition has only a few cars that are currently being offered with 4-wheel drive. It might not make a very big move in the market as it is just another variant of the compass that is currently being sold, but it will definitely make its room for people who are looking to buy a new car or are fans of Jeep Compass.
