What's New for the Jeep Compass in 2021?
In 2021, the Jeep Compass features several impressive advancements, including a fuel-efficient powertrain, best-in-class 4x4 off-road capability, superior on-road driving dynamics, and advanced technology and safety offerings. This year's higher Jeep Compass Limited and Trailhawk trims gain adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability and automatic emergency braking. There's also lane-keeping assist, lane departure warning, as well as automatic rain-sensing windshield wipers and high-beam headlights. To celebrate the 80th anniversary of the iconic off-road brand, Jeep has also added an 80th Anniversary trim level to the Compass lineup.
Exterior Design
The first thing you'll notice about the 2021 Jeep Compass is that it has a new nose. The air dam is more prominent, and the angle of the grille has changed, which immediately garners attention. The new LED headlights further enhance the Jeep's new look, as well as a new set of white fog lights. Also, you'll find a camera in the middle of the grille, which is used for Compass's 360-parking assistant. Walk around the side of the Compass, and you'll see new diamond-cut alloy wheels. The SUV's classic profile hasn't changed—it still possesses near-perfect stance and proportions.
Interior Features
The most significant changes to the 2021 Jeep Compass are within the cabin. The Compass has always been solidly built and constructed with long-lasted materials. After all, that's how it got its rugged reputation. However, the 2021 Compass is more sophisticated than ever. The new interior screams luxury and high spec—everything is new, aside from the seats. You'll find new door pads, a new dash, a giant new touchscreen, new digital instrument panels, and, finally, new steering and center consoles.
The star of the interior is the Jeep's 10.1-inch UConnect touchscreen display, which offers the experience of interacting with a tablet. The screen is sharper and faster than previous models and offers several functions.
Performance, Ride, and Handling
The 2021 Jeep Compass has an adventurous 2.4-liter I-4 engine that produces 180 horsepower and 175 lb-feet of torque. All but the Trailhawk model are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive with available AWD.
When it comes to handling and all-terrain capability, the Jeep Compass is unrivaled among compact SUVs. You'll find full-time 4WD and the Selec-Terrain management system on the first three trims, which features Auto, Snow, Sand, and Mud modes. You don't have to be off-roading to enjoy your drive, as it's easy to operate at slow speeds and poised no matter the elements. The 2021 Compass accelerates swiftly and smoothly, and there's no shortage of torque or power in any situation, which makes it a joy to drive.
