2017 Jeep Compass at Chrysler of CulpeperIf you are in the market for an SUV that does remarkably well whether it's off-roading or not, look into the all-new cross-over 2017 Jeep Compass. For 2017, the Jeep Compass was fully redesigned and recalibrated to rock! It now gives owners four model levels, and all contain a storehouse of items that are capable and handy. The newly redesigned Jeep Compass retains its persona as a well-priced crossover SUV while introducing new features, a greater range of performance on roads, as well as expanded tools to use on the trails. Jeep fans will love the distinct Jeep characteristics and also the economy-friendly price. |
Under the Compass's HoodThe all-new Compass offers an exceptional experience, with a best-in-class off-road ability within its burly 4x4 systems. To accomplish this, there is a fully independent suspension, frequency damping front-and-rear-strut system (segment-exclusive), and fine-tuned electric power steering. The Compass will arrive at your driveway fitted with a 2.4-liter Tigershark 4-cylinder engine, which is both relatively frugal on gas and brawny: the best of both worlds. This engine will create up to 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque, more than enough to get it where it needs to go. The Compass is the sole compact SUV to enable an even-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission designed for highway driving, which is standard on all 4x4 models. Alternate transmissions can be a six-speed manual or an Aisin six-speed automatic transmission that works on 4x2 models specifically. Off-roading systems incorporated into the lineup can be the Jeep Active Drive (full-time as-needed system) and Jeep Active Drive Low (class-exclusive full-time as-needed 4x4 system with 20:1 crawl ratio). Either of these systems could send all available torque to any one wheel, and also they coordinate their efforts through the driver-centric interface: a Mode selector titled "Jeep Selec-Terrain system". The Compass also employs a disconnecting rear axle and power take-off unit (PTU) that gets 4x4 models with augmented fuel economy. The optional Trailhawk model is Trail Rated for off-road adventures, and it gets a 2,000-pound maximum towing rating, up to 19-inches of water fording, red front/rear tow hooks, a heightened ride, and an exclusive Rock mode for the Selec-Terrain system. |
Design of Jeep CompassThe Jeep Compass inherits many aesthetic design elements from Jeep's trademarked style but also has brand-new accents as well to further get it to a new level of Compass. It brings Jeep's special style pieces to a portion of the crossover SUV market that is not exactly style-conscious traditionally. By way of explanation, there is a traditional clamshell hood with a double break line and center bulge, as well as a 7-slot grille that looks amazing in Gloss Black! Getting into the cabin you will notice several amenities that are thoughtfully designed, such as the fact that the steering wheel contains speed, voice, and audio controls for easy access. There is also 5.0-, 7.0- or 8.4-inch touchscreens available with pinch-and-zoom capability that give the driver information they require in one spot. The middle console gets drivers a consolidated space for items like the Selec-Terrain controls, the engine stop-start button, an electronic parking brake, a storage bin with connectivity ports for charging, and more! An optional dual-pane sunroof could be purchased, the Compass has a clever multi-level rear cargo floor, and don't forget to look for the signature LED taillights that are designed to be both understated when off and clear when in use! |

ConclusionsThe all-new Compass has many safety and security points (over 70), and Jeep has certainly brought its full focus into this area for 2017. This includes driver assistance features that can expand visibility and essential driver awareness. Active safety features provided by Jeep within the 2017 Compass are composed of Blind-spot Monitoring, LaneSense Departure Warning-Plus, Rear Cross Path detection, Forward Collision Warning-Plus, and a ParkView rear backup camera with dynamic grid lines. Continuing safety items would be along the lines of electronic stability control (ESC) with electronic roll mitigation, seven standard air bags, and a safety cage made of 65% reinforced steel! That said, it's time to steer your way to true North in order to find yourself in the driver's seat of a 2017 Jeep Compass here at Chrysler of Culpeper! |
