Compass Flex from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.6 seconds reaching the maximum of 192
km/h, when fueled with ethanol. Using gasoline brands slightly worse: the 2nd
10.9 and 188 km / h, respectively. The downside is for the consumption high.
8.1 km/l in city and 10.5 km/l on the road, with fuel, worsening to 5.5 km/l in the city and 7.2 km/l on the road, with ethanol.
The Jeep Compass comes with its imposing visual and remembering too
