The 2021 Jeep Compass has made its European debut. The Compass facelift gets a few styling updates, fresh features, and a new engine. It will replace the current-gen Compass in the Indian market next year.
New features include the new Uconnect Services for improved on-board and off-board connectivity, new styling cues such as six different wheel designs (one specific for each trim and exclusive 19-inch Gloss Black wheels for the Night Eagle model) and a new color palette with five new exterior paints. On the styling front, it gets slightly reworked headlamps with honeycomb inserts, reworked bumper, and new wheel designs. Inside, the cabin remains largely unchanged.
The Jeep Compass for the European market is powered by a new 1.3-litre petrol engine delivering 130 hp or 150 hp, or alternatively by an updated version of the 120 hp 1.6-litre MultiJet II diesel engine with SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction). The 1.3-litre petrol motor will be mated to a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed Dual Dry Clutch Transmission (DDCT) – both with front-wheel drive. It also features for the first time a ‘Sport’ driving mode that can be selected with the push of a button in the center console.
The new Compass will also be available in the 4xe version which offers a plug-in hybrid technology. 4xe models (those featuring plug-in hybrid electric technology) will be available with an electric motor mated to a choice of either the 190 hp and 240 hp version of the 1.3-litre Global Small Engine. These will arrive in European showrooms in the second half of this year. Both these 4xe versions will be four-wheel drive only.
Available from commercial launch on Compass, the new Uconnect Services are fitted as standard on both the 7 and 8.4-inch infotainment systems and on all trims from the Longitude upwards, to offer advanced onboard and off-board connectivity and useful services for enhanced safety and comfort. The soon-to-be-launched 4xe models will also include specific features to assist electric driving. Customers can monitor the battery charge level directly from the My Uconnect mobile app, schedule charging and air conditioning, and more.
The new Jeep Compass will continue to offer a full array of active and passive safety and security features, including Forward Collision Warning and LaneSense Departure Warning, both offered as standard across the whole range, alongside Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM), and front, side, and curtain airbags. Available safety features include Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection, Adaptive Cruise Control, ParkView rear backup camera with dynamic gridlines, and Automated Parallel and Perpendicular Park assist.
