  • Jeep® Compass combines user-friendly technology and a full array of active driver assist systems with legendary #jeep off-road capability, in a distinctive and contemporary design
  • Jeep #compass arrives in dealers in July in selected markets
 
The all-new Jeep® Compass offers an unmatched combination of attributes that includes legendary and best in class #4x4 off-road capability, contemporary and authentic #jeep design, excellent on-road driving dynamics, open-air freedom and a full array of advanced user-friendly connectivity and safety technologies.
 
The new vehicle represents a key addition to the #jeep portfolio as it allows the brand to tackle the compact #suv segment, an extremely important and growing segment worldwide, that is expected to grow by almost 20 percent to 7.5 million in 2020. In Europe alone, this segment counts over 1.6 million today and is expected to achieve more than 2 million units by 2020.
 
To address different customer needs across the region, the all-new #compass offers two petrol and two diesel engines for a total of eight different powertrain combinations and four different configurations: Sport, Longitude, Limited - the top-of-the-range trim in terms of refinement, standard technological contents and equipment - and Trailhawk, offering best-in-class Trail Rated #4x4 capability through specific standard features designed for customers demanding the most in terms of off-road capability.
 
With the introduction of the all-new #compass, the #jeep brand completes its offering in Europe, covering every single #suv segment. The new model will provide a compelling proposition to European customers, by combining the legendary #jeep off-road capability with a distinctive design and a variety of user-friendly technologies that ensure a safe, comfortable and connected everyday driving experience.
 
#jeep #compass will be available in #jeep showrooms of major European markets including Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland and Poland in July. Introduction will gradually follow in other markets to be completed by beginning of next year with the launch of the right-hand-drive version.


 Distinctive, contemporary, authentic #jeep design with premium features and open-air freedom
The all-new #jeep #compass features a distinctive, contemporary design aesthetic, with a wide stance and exceptional glass-to-wheel proportions. The all-new compact #suv is immediately recognizable as a #jeep thanks to characteristic traditional design cues, such as the seven-slot grille and the trapezoidal wheel arches. #jeep designers gave the legendary seven-slot grille a fresh look by setting each of the individual chrome slots in a Gloss Black field. LED signature headlamp bezels featuring a black outline add personality and attitude to the face of the all-new #jeep #compass.
 
A fast, dramatic roofline and muscular fender flares create a stunning profile. A signature, full windows surround (DLO), with an element that tracks completely around the vehicle, along with the available Gloss Black painted roof add a unique, premium appearance. An available dual-pane sunroof designed to maximize surface and headroom delivers the open-air freedom that belongs to the #jeep brand. A standout feature of the rear of the #compass is its unique LED tail lamps: slim and rectangular in shape, the tail lamps flow into the liftgate for a commanding yet premium appearance instantly recognizable as a #jeep #compass on the road or trail.
 
For added consumer convenience, the all-new #jeep #compass features a power liftgate (availability depending on markets) helping ease cargo storage.
 
A total of seven wheel designs are available on the new #jeep #compass. The new model rides on 16" (standard on Sport and Longitude), 17" (standard on Trailhawk and Limited and optional on Longitude), 18" or 19" tires (both optional on Limited) providing drivers with confident traction in all road conditions. This configuration may change according to markets needs and specifics.
 
#jeep #compass will be available in 11 different exterior colors: Redline Red, Spitfire Orange, Laser Blue Pearl, Olive Green, Billet Silver Metallic Clear Coat, Granite Crystal Metallic Clear Coat, Diamond Black Crystal Pearl Coat, Pearl White Tri-Coat, Bright White Tri-Coat, Bright White Clear Coat and Rhino Clear Coat (Limited and Trailhawk models).
 
Upscale interior design boasts premium features and technology
The all-new #jeep #compass interior design features refined materials and technical details. The trapezoidal center stack bezel is a characteristic #jeep design cue and sports color and finish that complement the interior choice. The center stack houses the 5.0-, 7.0- or 8.4-inch touchscreen displays of the Uconnect system. The center console neatly integrates the functional features of the #jeep #compass, including gear-shift selection, Selec-Terrain controls, electronic parking brake, engine stop-start (ESS) controls, climate and volume control knobs, and easily-accessible media charging and connectivity ports within the cubby bin.
 
The driver's instrument cluster is thoughtfully designed and features a 3.5- or 7-inch LED driver information display. The full-color 7-inch screen displays information that the driver may configure for easier access while driving and will be standard on Limited and Trailhawk models.
 
Advanced user-friendly technology including all-new infotainment systems
The all-new #jeep #compass sets the new standard in terms of infotainment systems in the #jeep lineup.

Uconnect 7.0 or 8.4 NAV systems feature a high definition screen with capacitive touch and include new Apple CarPlay and Android #auto (standard on Limited and Trailhawk) features for hands-free phone, navigation (only on the 8.4NAV system) and voice texting.

#compass Limited and Trailhawk models also feature Uconnect 8.4 NAV with #jeep Skills. This easy-to-use application provides off-road-specific indexes, that allow drivers to monitor their performance on trails.
 
Superior on-road driving dynamics
FCA's "small wide architecture," a fully independent suspension, segment-exclusive frequency damping front-and-rear-strut system, and precise electric power steering combine to deliver superior on-road driving dynamics in the all-new  #jeep #compass.


Compass boasts a rigid foundation. The upper body structure and frame are engineered as a single unit for a stiff and more mass-efficient structure, and it is designed and built with an extensive use of high-strength steel and structural adhesives. More than 65 percent high-strength steel is used for maximizing vehicle dynamics and crash performance while optimizing weight efficiency.
 
Best-in-class off-road capability with two leading #4x4 systems
Best-in-class off-road capability comes courtesy of two advanced, intelligent full-time #4x4 systems: the #jeep Active Drive and the #jeep Active Drive Low, the latter with 20:1 crawl ratio, each of which can send 100 percent of available torque to any one wheel when needed. Both #jeep Active Drive and Active Drive Low #4x4 systems include the #jeep Selec-Terrain system, providing up to five modes (Auto, Snow, Sand and Mud modes, plus exclusive Rock mode on the Trailhawk model) for the best four-wheel-drive performance on any surface - on- or off-road - and in any weather condition.
 
#compass features a disconnecting rear axle and power take-off unit (PTU) - in order to provide #4x4 models with enhanced fuel economy. Both #jeep Active Drive and Active Drive Low #4x4 systems instantly engage when #4x4 traction is needed. All #4x4 #compass models also feature the 4WD "Lock" function which locks the #4x4 traction permanently and can be selected by the driver with the dedicated button on the Selec-Terrain dial control.
