SAFETY

The 2017 Jeep Compass has over 65 available advanced safety and security features including a high strength steel frame and seven standard airbags. It also offers forward collision warning with active braking that monitors the front of the vehicle with cameras and sensors and alerts the driver of a forward obstruction. If an obstruction is detected active braking will help prime the brakes for full use and step in if no action is taken. There is also lane departure warning with lane keep assist, which monitors the lane lines and ensures the vehicle stays within the lane. If it drifts the system alerts the driver and if no action is taken the lane keep assist will gently nudge the vehicle back over.

TECHNOLOGY

The 2017 Jeep Compass is loaded with technological features to make your life easier. With UConnect the passengers can seamlessly integrate your smartphone. Talk, navigate and listen with the help of Apple Carplay and Android Auto. You are able to use smartphone apps to do just about everything with ease through a bluetooth connection. All infotainment is displayed on the available 7" or 8.4" touchscreen which also displays the standard rearview camera. The front headlamps offer strong daytime running lights with multiple available LED lighting areas while the available projector beams offer even more illumination.

PERFORMANCE

The 2017 Jeep Compass comes with one option for the engine which is the 2.4 L Tigershark MultiAir engine. This engine is incredibly versatile and offers above average fuel economy while pushing out 180 horsepower. The engine uses start-stop technology for highly efficient city driving which turns off the engine when idling and then seamlessly turns it back on. It can be paired with either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission (on 4x2 models), or a choice of a 6-speed manual or Class-Exclusive 9-speed automatic (on 4x4 models). It also offers available Best-in- Class 4x4 capability thanks to the Jeep Active Drive Low 4x4 system.

STYLE

The exterior of the crossover is completely redesigned with incredibly fluid lines and a sporty dynamic stance. The SUV screams luxury and has a powerful stance. The 2017 Jeep Compass is considered "C-medium" sized (smaller than medium sized but larger than small). The interior is comfortable and stylish with leather accents, automatic dual zone temperature control and a power driver seat. There are also heated front seats and a heated leather wrapped steering wheel.
