The 2021 Jeep Compass is a compact crossover utility vehicle available in several trim levels, with one powertrain choice as well as front-wheel and four-wheel drivetrains.
Every Compass is equipped with a naturally aspirated, 2.4L four-cylinder engine that develops 180 horsepower. A six-speed automatic is on duty in FWD variants of the Jeep, while a nine-speed automatic handles the gear changes in 4×4 models. The Compass’s all-wheel drive system called Active Drive favours the front wheels in normal conditions, and can quickly send power to the rear wheels if slippage occurs, while the Compass Trailhawk’s Active Drive Low adds a mode for low-speed, off-road driving—and it’s the only trim level to wear Jeep’s Trail Rated badge.
Many advanced safety features are offered in the 2021 Jeep Compass, including forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning and lane keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams along with rear park sonar.
Meanwhile, available appearance, comfort and convenience features include bi-xenon headlamps, LED taillights, a power panoramic sunroof, a power liftgate, 16- to 19-inch wheels, a windshield wiper de-icer, dual-zone automatic climate control, remote engine start, a heated steering wheel, leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats as well as a Uconnect infotainment system with 7- or 8.4-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, navigation and SiriusXM radio.
