The Jeep Compass Limited 1.4A pairs a compact SUV body with a small 1,368cc engine. That keeps road tax low. Insurance prices are another story, with a very wide spread between insurers. This guide covers both, along with the COE rule.
All insurance figures are examples for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. They let you compare. They are not a quote for you.
What the price page prices
There is no current new-car listing for this model, so this review gives no list price, power or body type. The price page prices the Jeep Compass Limited 1.4A, with a 1,368cc engine. It is the version most of our insurers quote.
For a used car, check the COE expiry and first registration dates. They shape the price you pay.
COE: depends on power
The price page sets out the rule. With a 1,368cc engine, the Compass Limited 1.4A needs a Category A COE if its power is 97kW (130bhp) or less. If its power is more, it needs Category B.
In the October 2026 2nd round, Category A closed at S$132,004 and Category B at S$131,901. Our facts do not give the car's power, so check its papers to see which applies. The COE page has the latest.
Low road tax
LTA's formula gives S$606.84 a year for a 1,368cc engine, before any age surcharge. That is the smallest of the yearly figures we can show for this car.
The surcharge for older cars:
- Over 10 years: +10%
- Over 11 years: +20%
- Over 12 years: +30%
- Over 13 years: +40%
- Over 14 years: +50%
The road tax page does the sum for other engines. A small engine like this one pays noticeably less road tax each year than the larger engines on other Compass versions.
Insurance for the standard driver
The Jeep Compass Limited price page prices this profile:
- Car: Compass Limited 1.4A, 3 years old, private use, comprehensive cover
- Driver: aged 40, married, office job, 10 years' driving
- Record: 50% NCD, no claims
- Repairs: authorised workshop, no add-ons
8 insurers price it. The lowest is S$799.26 a year. The dearest of the eight asks at least S$2,186.58. That is S$1,387.32 more, or 174% on top. Put simply, the dearest is nearly three times the lowest. Prices include 9% GST.
That is one of the widest spreads on our car pages. It shows how differently insurers can price the same car and driver. The page does not explain each insurer's reasons. It simply shows that a renewal notice from one insurer may sit far above what others ask. Before you renew, it is worth seeing where your insurer falls on this list. Some of the figures are estimates from published tables, so check them with a full quote.
The excess picture
Excesses range from S$0 to S$3,000:
- Lowest premium: S$2,500
- Next two: S$1,200 and S$500
- Several mid-priced plans: S$600
- One estimate: S$0
- One plan: S$3,000
- The dearest plans: S$300
So the lowest premium asks a large share of any claim. The third-lowest asks S$500 for a small step up in price. Compare both figures for each plan.
How the premium shifts
The page shows the lowest price when one thing changes:
- No NCD (0%): S$1,502.39, S$703.13 more
- 20% NCD: S$1,208.44, S$409.18 more
- Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$1,636.71, S$837.45 more
- Driver aged 65, 20 years' driving: S$943.63, S$144.37 more, with 7 insurers pricing
- New car, registered this year: S$772.93, S$26.33 less
- Car 8 years old: S$767.67, S$31.59 less
The young driver profile costs most: the lowest price rises by 105%. Losing NCD comes next. The car's age moves the figure only a little, and both a newer and an older car cost slightly less.
Who leads the list
The same insurer gives the lowest price on every line in that table. With a spread this wide, that tells you the gap between the bottom and the rest is not a one-off. Even so, rates change, so check the page again at renewal.
Against similar cars
The price page compares six cars with similar engines, same driver and car age:
- Mazda 3: S$730.18
- Toyota Sienta: S$674.30
- BMW X1: S$763.00
- Mercedes-Benz GLB: S$822.26
- Honda Freed: S$756.48
- Mercedes-Benz C-Class: S$749.93
Their average lowest price is S$749.36. The Compass Limited costs 7% more. Five of the six are cheaper to insure on these details; only the Mercedes-Benz GLB costs more. Other Jeep models are on the Jeep car insurance page.
Costs that depend on you
- Petrol: a 1.4-litre engine; your bill follows distance and pump prices.
- Parking: season parking at your HDB block or condo, and elsewhere.
- ERP: depends on routes and times.
- Servicing: follow the maker's schedule; ask for records on a used car.
- Depreciation: what you pay and the COE life left.
