Posted on November 16, 2017
Jeep pulls out all
stops again with its 2018 Jeep Compass. It oozes an assertive power thanks to
the attention to detail on the grille and headlights, with an intimidation
silhouette that leaves other SUVs pale in comparison. It also showcases
impressive design feats and superb ratings across the board. Discover some of
the top features of the new Compass.
Superb
Capabilities
The name of the
Compass suggests what Jeep expects its customers to do and that is to find
their heading and explore. The Compass is more than able to take them on this
journey with the Selec-Terrain traction management system. It also has the Jeep
active drive low 4x4 system which makes traversing tough terrain like snow and
mud a breeze. The Compass can also navigate water depths of up to 19 inches
thanks to a higher air intake. High ground clearance and a superb anchoring
system make short work of hilly and rocky terrain. Steering control is another
contribution adding to the joy of the journey due to the precision needed in
tough situations.
Safety
and Security a Priority
The 2018 Jeep Compass
takes safety seriously and therefore, provides more than 70 safety and security
features. One of these features is the strong reinforcement of the exterior
with panels of high-strength steel. Extra thought is also given to airbags with
the three-vent system. This feature allows the airbag to deploy equally for
passengers of different size and weight. Other security features include the
stability control during adverse weather and a lane departure warning system
that is especially handy on the open road.
Superior
Technology
When it comes to
technology, the Compass is a definite crowd pleaser. The UConnnect systems
allow drivers and passengers to integrate their technology into the drive which
makes it a more pleasurable and convenient trip. The system includes Bluetooth
streaming audio and a navigation system. The SiriusXM Guardian system is also
an option to add to the mix.
Staggering
Specs and Figures
There are four trims
to choose from and each brings impressive specs to the table. The Sport model
has a starting MSRP of $20,995 and offers drivers 23 miles-per-gallon in the
city and 32 miles-per-gallon on the highway. It has a 2.4-liter I4 MultiAir
Engine. The Latitude has a starting MSRP of $24,295 and gets up to 22
miles-per-gallon in the city and 31 miles-per-gallon on the open road. It also
features a 2.4-liter MultiAir Engine with engine stop-start. The Limited
edition has a starting MSRP of $27,595 has the same engine specs as the Latitude.
The last offering is the Trailhawk which comes in at a starting MSRP of
$28,695. Drivers can expect 22 miles-per-gallon in the city and 30
miles-per-gallon on the highway. All four trims offer a very satisfactory 180
horsepower which makes hilly terrain a little easier to scale.
The Compass range is
perfect for the weekend adventurer who still has to spend some time in the
city. It provides a safe and reliable drive that traverses rough terrain
without a hitch. This is the ideal family car thanks to ample seating and loads
of cargo space.
