A Look at the All New Jeep Compass

If you’re looking for a Jeep crossover that fits in between the smaller Renegade and the more full-size Grand Cherokee, turn to the 2017 Jeep Compass. With an all-new design this year, this crossover SUV has plenty of exciting features it’s ready to show off.

Four Unique Trim Levels

The 2017 Jeep Compass will come in four different trim levels: Sport, Latitude, Trailhawk, and Limited. On the Sport and Latitude models you’ll find a body-color roof. The Trailhawk comes standard with a black hood decal, and this stylish feature is available on the Limited model. The off-road ready Trailhawk also comes with a front suspension skid plate, fuel tank skid plate shield, transfer case skid plate shield, and transmission skid plate.

Fuel Efficiency

If you think you have to give up fuel efficiency when you purchase a crossover, think again. The Jeep Compass offers an impressive EPA-estimated 23 miles per gallon (mpg) in the city and 32 mpg on the highway, which is actually slightly better than a smaller Renegade. Part of what helps the Compass achieve better fuel efficiency is stop-start technology, which turns off the engine when the vehicle is idling and immediately turns it back on as soon as you step on the gas.

Fun New Easter Eggs

Jeep has been hiding Easter eggs on its vehicles for a few years, and owners always have a fun time searching out these small nods to the company’s heritage. The 2017 Jeep Compass is no exception, and it even adds a few new ones for drivers to find. There’s a Loch Ness Monster on the bottom of a rear window, a snake on the rear glass, and a molded-plastic gecko under the windshield, just to name a few.

Upgraded Interior

Inside the new Compass, you’ll find an upgraded interior that borrows details from the costlier Cherokee and Grand Cherokee. There’s a dedicated infotainment center with a Uconnect touch-screen display that comes in 5-inch, 7-inch, or 8.4-inch sizes. You’ll also find smooth lines, chrome touches, push-button start, and outside temperature display. There are available conveniences, such as a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and leather-trimmed seats.

Larger Size

The all-new Jeep Compass measures in at 173 inches long, which actually beats the Renegade in size by 6.4 inches. An extra 2.6 inches between the crossover’s axles gives it 3.2 inches in additional legroom in the back. This means even your tall passengers won’t feel cramped climbing into the backseat.

Even better, when you need to haul large items, you’ll find 27 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. This space is even larger than what you’ll find in the Cherokee. Plus, if you ever need to transport a long item and a third passenger, you’ll find the 60/40 split-folding rear seat helps you do both with ease.
