Explore the 2021 Jeep Compass

Despite being in a crowded segment of the automotive industry, the Jeep Compass manages to distinguish itself from other compact crossover SUVs with its dedication to off-road capability. The 2021 model year finds the Compass in its second production cycle. In addition to its five main trim levels, which are the Sport, Latitude, Altitude, Limited, and Trailhawk, the Compass now has an 80th Anniversary edition to commemorate the Jeep brand's eight decades of existence.

Performance

Under the hood of the 2021 Compass is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, which produces 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. It is strapped to a brand new six-speed automatic transmission for 2021 and replaces yesteryear's six-speed manual gearbox for more convenient gear shifting. The Compass can peak at 22 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway, and, when properly equipped, can tow up to 2,000 lbs.

For Worcester MA drivers who go with the available four-wheel drivetrain (which has all wheels engaged with engine power to maximize traction performance), the six-speed automatic gearbox gives way to a nine-speed automatic for a smoother driving feel. Accompanying the four-wheel drive is the Selec-Terrain system, consisting of driving modes for adjustment according to the type of terrain you encounter. It's a feature that is absent on other small crossovers. The Trailhawk, in particular, is better primed for off-road adventure than the other trims; with this model, Boston, MA drivers should expect low-range gearing, hill descent control, additional skid plates, a pair of tow hooks, and an off-road suspension.

Interior

Designed as a five-seater with two rows of cloth-trimmed seats, the 2021 Jeep Compass is upgraded to vinyl-and-cloth upholstery at the Latitude trim level. For Franklin, MA drivers who want a luxurious touch on an otherwise off-road vehicle, there's the Limited option, which stands out with its leather seats, heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, and an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat. Also unique is the 80th Anniversary model, which includes black Berber floor mats and the commemorative logo stitched into the front seats and bezel finishes.

Comfort and Convenience

With remote keyless entry, you can lock and unlock the doors of the 2021 Jeep Compass by pressing the corresponding key fob button. For infotainment, the vehicle has a 7-inch Uconnect touchscreen interface, which integrates six speakers, an AM/FM radio tuner, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration. Automatic climate controls exist on the driver and front passenger sides for personalized heating and cooling preferences.

Attleboro, MA customers who go with a Latitude model gain a trial subscription to SiriusXM Radio and an upgrade to proximity keyless entry for accessing the vehicle by simply having the key fob on them. The Limited gets an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and the 80th Anniversary model joins it in replacing the 7-inch touchscreen with an 8.4-inch one.

Safety

Norwood, MA drivers of the Jeep Compass get a rearview camera and cruise control for driver assistance, and six airbags are present for protection if there's a crash. Other standard safety features include electronic stability and traction control to help keep you in your intended lane, anti-lock braking to prevent wheel lockup when suddenly applying the brake pedal, and brake assist for a boost in stopping power when necessary. The 2021 model year introduces forward collision mitigation and blind-spot warning as additional driver-assistance technologies-provided that Mendon, MA driver pick either the Limited or the Trailhawk.
