2017 Jeep Compass Overview – Video

Jeep’s all-new 2017 Compass is meant to further expand the brand’s global reach, aiming for consumers in more than 100 countries around the world.

Available in four different trim configurations (Sport, Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk), the 2017 Compass is said to deliver best-in-class off-road capability thanks to its two advanced 4×4 systems, each capable of sending 100% of available torque to any wheel.

“Our all-new 2017 Jeep Compass enters an extremely important and growing segment worldwide, and does so with an unmatched list of attributes that includes benchmark 4×4 off-road capability, exceptional on-road driving dynamics, fuel-efficient powertrains, countless advanced technology and safety features, all wrapped in a premium, authentic Jeep design,” said Mike Manley, head of Jeep Brand. “Built around the world for customers everywhere, Jeep Compass raises the bar in the bar in the compact-SUV segment.”

 

 

On the road, the new Compass utilizes a fully independent suspension to go along with its electric power steering and segment-exclusive Koni frequency damping front & rear strut system – all for achieving superior driving dynamics. Now, while North American buyers will only get a 2.4-liter Tigershark four-pot with 180 HP and 175 lb-ft (237 Nm) of torque, in total there will be five engines (three petrol and two diesel) offered in markets throughout the world.
