2018 Jeep Compass VS 2018 Volkswagen Arteon Elegance
2018 Jeep Compass:
Vehicle Summary: The Compass is one of Jeep’s most affordable SUVs, slotting above the Renegade in price but below the more expensive Wrangler, Cherokee, and flagship Grand Cherokee. The Compass replaces the outgoing and dated last-generation Compass and Patriot models. The new Compass is a good bet for those who do not need the size and capability of the larger Cherokee but want something bigger than the subcompact Renegade. Overview: With the release of the all-new Compass for the 2017 model year, changes to the 2018 Jeep Compass will likely include minor feature additions, a limited-edition model, and 1-2 new exterior colors — we’ll update this space as soon as we have official info. The powertrains will likely carry over and, for the 2017 model year, include the 180-hp 2.4-liter I-4 that comes mated to a nine-speed automatic, six-speed automatic, or six-speed manual. Expect to see the return of Jeep Active Drive and Jeep Active Drive Low all-wheel-drive systems. Jeep will probably retain the current Compass trims (Sport, Latitude, Trailhawk, and Limited) but may add a new luxurious or off-road trim. In the next few years, we hope to see a more powerful engine offered, after the slow acceleration we experienced in our First Drive review...

2018 Volkswagen Arteon:
Six turbocharged engines: The Arteon will initially feature three turbo direct injection engines at launch: a 206 kW / 280 PS TSI (petrol) engine and two TDI (diesel) engines with 110 kW / 150 PS and 176 kW / 240 PS. Three additional engines will complete the range: the newly designed 1.5 TSI Evo (110 kW / 150 PS with cylinder deactivation) as well a TSI and a TDI engine, each with 140 kW / 190 PS. Dual clutch gearbox for all versions: All engines can be combined with an automated DSG dual clutch gearbox (except 110 kW TSI in Germany, which is only available with a manual gearbox). For the TSI, the DSG gearbox is standard on engines with an output of 140 kW and above; for the TDI it is standard on the 176 kW version. Additionally, the 280 PS TSI and 240 PS TDI also have the Volkswagen 4MOTION all-wheel drive as standard, while this is available as an option for the 140 kW TDI. All other models have front-wheel drive.Assistance systems look ahead: The Arteon's innovative driver assistance systems match its avant-garde concept. Three of its all-new technologies illustrate this. The latest generation of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) now takes into account parameters such as speed limits, bends, roundabouts and detours, and automatically adjusts driving speed accordingly (within system limits and in accordance with country-specific regulations). Thanks to the navigation system's GPS and road data, the new dynamic cornering lights with predictive control also anticipate when a bend is approaching and illuminate it before the driver actively turns into the bend. The second generation of Emergency Assist offers more safety in a worst-case scenario: if the driver becomes incapacitated for health reasons, the system not only slows the Volkswagen Arteon down within system limits but now also steers it into the slow lane, traffic behind permitting...
