2021 Jeep Compass Review

Build a central command center on your console with the available 8.4-inch Uconnect^® 4C NAV touchscreen display. It features pinch-to-zoom technology, so you can focus in on the exact route you need to take. If you want to use your phone apps on the screen, hook up your phone with Apple CarPlay^® or Android Auto™.

You can also make calls through Bluetooth^® and pass on connectivity to other riders through the available 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot, which can accommodate eight devices. For your listening pleasure, the available Premium Alpine^® Speaker System features nine speakers spread throughout your cabin for a surround-sound experience.
 

Whether you’re embarking on your next expedition or simply stopping for coffee, rest assured that the Jeep Compass’ safety systems have you covered. If you need to back up, refer to your resident expert, the ParkView^® Rear Back Up Camera. For multi-faceted protection, these three systems—Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Rear Cross Path Detection—work together.

To get even more guidance, upgrade your safety with the ParkSense^® Rear Park Assist System and LaneSense^® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist. Audible and visual alerts help you stay on track.
 

No matter the size or shape, when you drive a Jeep, its performance speaks for itself. Under the Compass’ hood, you’ll find a standard 2.4L Tigershark^® engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission that generates 177 horsepower mated with 172 lb-ft of torque. This enables this mighty machine to tow a maximum of 2,000 pounds when properly equipped and reach an EPA-estimated 22 city/31 highway MPG.

While front-wheel drive comes standard, your adventure can proceed even further with optional 4×4 capability. Included with 4×4 models, the Selec-Terrain^® Traction Management System lets you choose from four diverse modes like Auto, Snow, Sand, and Mud to successfully tread on unstable surfaces. If you’re interested in the Trailhawk trim, it adds the Rock mode to your dial.
