Overview
Family vehicles have evolved in the last ten years, and the minivan has become less common with the modern family relying on versatile, yet spacious SUVs to not only transport their families but also do double duty. That’s where the 2021 Jeep® Compass comes in. Because Jeep’s renowned capability for any terrain comes standard, the Compass isn’t just great for a trip to the grocery store.
The Perfect Ride for...
The active family. Thanks to a wealth of available safety and technology features, the 2021 Jeep Compass can keep the whole family entertained on long trips. The Jeep Compass has remarkable capability—on and off-road—that makes it perfect for trips to the beach, camping in the mountains, or a weekend at the lake. Aggressive styling and aggressive performance combine to give you the perfect vehicle for a variety of situations.
Drive & Handling
With 180 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque from the 2.4-liter 4-cylinder Tigershark® engine, the 2021 Jeep Compass is a true beast, and it’s capable of an EPA-estimated 23 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway.* Not only can this SUV make it over some tricky terrain, it can do it efficiently. The available 1.3-liter turbocharged engine produces 177 horsepower and 210 pound-feet of torque, for drivers who need a little extra power.
Speaking of tricky terrain, the Jeep Compass is prepared to take on the most diverse conditions. Thanks to the sealed electrical components and high-mounted air intake, the Compass can ford small creeks and streams, as well as monstrous puddles during heavy rain. The available 4x4 system offers superior traction, regardless of where the road takes you and your family. Precise steering and maneuverability help the Jeep Compass navigate tight paths, as well as crowded city streets.
Thanks to the Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System, you can choose between five terrain settings to always get the exact amount of performance out of your Jeep Compass. The five modes are snow, sand, mud, rock, and auto. No matter where you are, this system can help you get almost anywhere in style. With 4x4 capability, when properly equipped, nothing can stand between your family and the perfect getaway.
Key Features
Technology
The biggest problem with being able to go anywhere is trying to stay connected, but Jeep makes it simple. Thanks to the available Uconnect® 4C NAV, you’ll never be too far away, even as you’re crossing creeks and crawling up rocks. The 8.4-inch touch screen gives you access to Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, SiriusXM® All Access Package, and Bluetooth®.

Safety
Whether you’re on the trails or on the road, safety is incredibly important, and that’s why Jeep has developed some remarkable safety features to make sure your family is protected on the road. Robust frame construction and dedicated crumple zones protect your precious cargo in the event of an accident. The available Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Monitoring, and LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist all work together to keep you and your passengers safe, no matter where your Jeep takes you.

Alternative Options
Prefer to keep your adventures to the city? The new Jeep Renegade may be an even better option. The smaller size makes it perfect for urban adventures and you can still get away, thanks to its remarkable capability. If you’re looking for something more luxurious and refined, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is a perfect fit. The modern take on Jeep’s iconic style, and wealth of standard features make this spacious SUV a great value, since you still get the brand’s capability in a luscious package.
