On the exterior,
the 2021 Jeep Compass continues to sport the Jeep brand styling elements
including the seven-slot grille and the trapezoidal wheel arches. Preserving
the core personality of the Jeep Compass, the exterior styling has been refined
to be more modern, younger and a more urban look.
The
headlights now come with reflectors as well as LED projectors, depending on the
variant. The Jeep Compass now with its enhanced styling looks a lot more impressive.
All-new interior The
design surfaces come together with precision craftsmanship and the interior now
has enhanced functionality and comfort. The elegant cabin is equipped with an
exhaustive list of comfort, convenience, purposeful and user friendly features.
The interior design sports a beautiful mid bolster piece surrounded by metal
brow. The design is spacious and open, elevating the in-cabin experience. The
choice of materials, the attention to detail including fluted shapes and clear
lines, convey enhanced elegance. The overall look and feel of the all-new
interior reflects Jeep brand’s continued pursuit to deliver a premium ambience
with a simple, intuitive, user experience for its occupants.
The
new dashboard design, with its accented mid bolster, gives a sense of horizontality
which makes the interior visually more exquisite and modern. The sleek metal
accent underneath the bolster makes the dashboard look more integrated. The New
Compass has double the storage inside the passenger cabin and a wireless
charging spot for a smart phone.
The
centre console water fall has been designed to make navigating it ergonomically
smoother. It accentuates the technology features and the functionality inside
the vehicle. The mid bolster houses slender air vents, which are neatly tucked
under the brow of the dashboard and are embellished with a brushed metal strip
which gives them linearity with the overarching styling. The SelecTerrain
selector is now a toggle in chrome and has a more modern, digital feel. Control
knobs for the air-con and the circular periphery of the engine stop-start
button are detailed with intricate striped pattern ‘fluting’. Function switches
are more ergonomically placed and modernized.
This
kind of detailing, makes the interior visually less cluttered and more appealing
and adds more to the touch of luxury. The steering wheel has been redesigned
and the Jeep brand badge now is placed in a horizontal strip surrounded by
chrome.
The
all-new interiors in the 2021 Jeep Compass will be offered to customers in
dual-tone and full black combinations in leather and fabric upholstery,
depending on the selection of trim and variant.
The
new user experience in the interior is highlighted by the new generation
10.1-inch high-definition display UConnect-5 system with enhanced functionality
and personalization. It floats on top of the mid bolster.
UConnect-5
is a powerful foundation that is developed to accommodate future technological
updates. The hardware in the UConnect system is five times faster than its
previous generation, and can accommodate over-the-air, real time updates. It
runs on an Android operating system which is compatible with a host of
applications and operating systems. The new UConnect-5 system also offers
enhanced personalization and customization. The New Jeep Compass comes with
wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The
multi-function instrument cluster behind the steering wheel is now a much
larger, 10.25-inch digital display and has 24 configurable content screens in
it. The content screens can be accessed from the buttons provided on the newly
designed steering wheel.
