    The range, which tops-out at £35,595 for high-spec models, includes two petrol and three diesel engines. Buyers also get the choice of front-wheel drive on selected models.

    A raft of safety tech, such as lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control and a reversing camera contributed to the Compass’ five-star EURO NCAP rating.

    The entry-level Sport trim is only available with the 118bhp 1.6-litre Multijet diesel, and includes LED tail lights, forward collision warning, cruise control and 16in alloys as standard.

    The Longitude trim, which costs an extra £2000, delivers more engine choices: there’s a 118bhp 1.6-litre diesel, 138bhp 1.4 turbo petrol and 138bhp 2.0 diesel with four-wheel drive diesel. This trim also adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, an 8.4-inch infotainment system and keyless entry as standard, and comes on 17in alloys.

    Step up to the Limited spec, which starts at £27,995, and you get heated seats, blind spot detection, park assist and 18in alloys. There’s also a nine-speed automatic gearbox on the more powerful 168bhp versions of the 1.4 turbo and 2.0 diesel. These are priced £32,595 and £35,595 respectively.

    The range-topping model spec, the Trailhawk, is only available with the 168bhp 2.0 diesel. Standard equipment includes a low range gearbox, raised off-road suspension, front and rear skid plates and hill descent. Frustratingly, this model won’t arrive in Scottish showrooms till summer 2018.
