The 2021 Jeep Compass delivers sporty capabilities, roomy seating, and street-smart technology in a small, parking-friendly package. Officially, the Compass is a subcompact crossover SUV. However, in the Jeep lineup, it’s bigger than the subcompact Renegade and slightly smaller than the compact Cherokee. In any case, you’ll find the Compass interior to be perfectly roomy, with generous space for five people. The Compass is also known for its best-in-class off-roading capabilities.
Every 2021 Compass comes with the same engine, a 2.4-liter inline-4 that’s quick to get going, with 180 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard, but sporty drivers can always choose to add the Active Drive Low 4x4 System. This four-wheel-drive system automatically switches between two- and four-wheel drive as needed, so you can conserve gas and maximize off-roading capabilities.
Even with a quick glance, anyone can see that the Compass is an all-American Jeep. This crossover might be small, but it has quite the on-road presence, with its trademark Jeep grille, bold lines, and classy color options.
Spacious and comfortable, the Jeep Compass is a great place to spend a road trip; a family of five can certainly appreciate this Jeep’s modern ergonomics, with its nicely shaped seats and an easy reach to important controls.
The standard front bucket seats offer plenty of adjustments for drivers of all shapes and sizes, and the optional power driver seat is even more convenient. The standard automatic climate control system does an excellent job of maintaining two separate temperature zones, while the AC system also includes rear air vents to keep backseat passengers cool. Add any number of upscale options — leather upholstery, heated seats, a heated steering wheel — to your Compass for a classier cruise.
In addition to its comfy cabin and rugged capabilities, the Compass adds impressive connectivity. Every trim model comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, giving you the means to access apps from the central touch-screen display or via voice control. The Uconnect system is also user-friendly, a quality you’ll come to appreciate when you’re cruising around at highway speeds.
The 2021 Jeep Compass also makes a point of providing all the latest safety gear: each of these crossovers includes a rearview camera for an expansive view as you back in and out of parking spaces. In addition to helping you spot a dangerous situation, driver aids like the forward collision mitigation system can actually act on your behalf, applying the brakes as needed.
Want to tow a Jet Ski or snowmobile around? The 2021 Compass can certainly handle it, with a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds.
This Jeep crossover delivers both a sporty performance and an efficient one. Every Compass features the same engine, so EPA ratings only vary according to whether you choose front-wheel drive or Jeep’s Active Drive Low four-wheel-drive system.
Compass shoppers can choose from a variety of trim options, from the thrifty Sport, to the luxurious Limited, or the rugged Trailhawk.
The base Sport has everything you need for a friendly, modern cruise. That includes complete smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Conveniences, like remote keyless entry, heated exterior mirrors, and the rearview camera, also add to this Compass’s value as a daily driver.
The Latitude adds luxurious details, including keyless entry and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. This model also adds a little extra utility, with fog lamps and Passive Entry technology.
The Compass Freedom trim adds to the Latitude features with exclusive exterior design details, including a Black roof and 17-inch Matte Black wheels.
The Altitude also adds to the Latitude lineup with its own exclusive style, inside and out. That means 18-inch Gloss Black wheels and Piano Black interior trim.
The 80th Anniversary trim model adds unique style with its Light Tungsten interior accents and Neutral Gray exterior accents, standing apart from its Compass companions. This model also adds special leather-trimmed seats and an upgraded version of the Uconnect infotainment system, which includes navigation.
When you upgrade to the Compass Limited, you’re getting a lot more for your money. Outside, the Limited looks sharp, with 18-inch wheels and remote vehicle start. Inside, it’s equally impressive, with heated, leather-trimmed front seats and a heated steering wheel. Extra conveniences, including a windshield wiper de-icer and high-tech driving aids, help you navigate modern roadways.
Like the name suggests, this Compass is off-road-ready. This is the only Compass that comes standard with the Jeep Active Drive Low 4x4 System, giving you part-time four-wheel-drive performance on all your favorite trails. The Trailhawk also includes all-terrain tires and front and rear tow hooks.
Every 2021 Jeep Compass offers a sturdy, dependable performance but this subcompact crossover is also ready for the unexpected, casting a wide safety net with its warranty coverage:
Last November, Jeep revealed an updated Compass, due out for the 2022 model year. The North American version of this new Compass features new design inside and out, with slimmer headlamps and a new steering wheel and center console. An updated infotainment system introduces a bigger, 10.1-inch touch-screen interface, and the driver information center also gets a bigger, 10.25-inch display.
