2021 Jeep Compass

For 2021, the Compass starts out with the entry-level Sport trim. It's followed by the Latitude, Altitude, 80th Anniversary, Limited, and Trailhawk trims. Each of these models offers features that make it stand out from the crowd. At the base level, you get a black grille with chrome accents, power heated side mirrors, daytime running lights, and body-color front and rear bumpers. Upgrading your trim level gains you access to more features, including fog lights, turn signal indicators in the side mirrors, a power liftgate, and 19-inch aluminum wheels. A dual-pane panoramic sunroof is also available.

No matter which Compass model you choose, it will come equipped with a capable and efficient 2.4-liter Tigershark MultiAir 2 engine. This block delivers up to 180 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque and can tow a maximum of 2,000 pounds. It's mated to either a six-speed or nine-speed automatic transmission.

If you want the most off-road capable Compass, opt for the Trail Rated Trailhawk trim. This model has been tested in various off-road conditions to ensure it can handle any situation you put it up to. You can also get the available SelecTerrain traction management system, which lets you select the drive mode that best suits your driving situation. Hill descent control will help you by applying the brakes at a steady pressure so you can stay focused on the trail ahead.

Whether you're commuting to work or taking a trip to the mountains, the Compass provides a comfortable ride for up to five people. If you need more room for gear than passengers, fold down the 60/40-split rear seat to give yourself a maximum of 59.8 cubic feet of cargo space. Each trim comes with soft-touch fabrics that give the cabin an elegant feel. In the base model, you'll find Sedoso and Big Hex cloth, while other trims feature McKinley leather and Axis II perforated leather. An available power liftgate makes it easy to load and unload your stuff.

With over 70 standard and available safety features for the 2021 Jeep Compass, you can take on the road with confidence. An available blind-spot monitoring system will help you change lanes with ease by alerting you to any approaching traffic when you attempt to get over. When you add the lane-departure warning with lane-keep assist system, you'll be alerted if you start to drift out of your lane without using your turn signal. Other features you can add for more peace of mind include adaptive cruise control with stop and go and full-speed forward collision warning with active braking.
