2021 Jeep Compass: exterior design
Up front, the new nose is the big talking point. You immediately notice the larger air dam, and the differently angled Jeep grille gets your attention instantly too. Interestingly, the nose is free of chrome, with even the Jeep logo and the seven-slat grille all done in this anodised gun-metal grey; and it looks great. You also get these faux inserts in the grille, no air can pass through them, (the real intakes are lower down), and there are a new set of white fogs, sunken deep into the recesses of the bumper. What enhance the looks further are the new LED headlights that do give the nose some much needed bling. And also new up front is the presence of a camera in the nose; this one’s used for the 360-degree parking assistant.
Around the side, you get new diamond-cut alloy wheels in those big, bold and square wheel arches and, this car gets a contrast roof in an interesting shade of grey. While not much has changed in profile, the Compass still retains that near-perfect proportions and stance.
Just the tail-lights are new around the rear and while boot capacity isn’t massive, there are a couple of interesting features. You get a new sub-woofer installed in the boot, and while the close button is placed oddly inside the boot, you now get an electric close function for the tailgate.
2021 Jeep Compass: interiors and equipment
The biggest change, however, is inside the cabin. While the Compass was earlier rugged, built of long-lasting bits and solidly put together, the overriding theme now is sophistication, high spec and luxury. And literally everything is new inside, apart from the seats. You get a new dash, new door pads, a massive new touchscreen, a new digital instrument panel, a new steering and even a new centre console.
There’s leather and double-stitching right across the multi-layered dash, there’s some faux leather on top of the dash, and in the middle, a pair of chrome bars cut right across to other side. In fact, unlike on the outside, you have plenty of chrome on the dash. There’s some around the gear lever, there’s a smattering around the steering wheel and you even have a nice, bevelled frame around the touchscreen. Jeep has also smartly paired the high-quality chrome with plenty of piano black. It contrasts the bling quite nicely, and even the quality of the switches and buttons is super.
Central to the appeal of the new interior, however, is the new 10.1-inch U-Connect touchscreen. It’s just massive and has a genuine tablet-like vibe. Then the screen is of very high quality -it is brighter, sharper, faster, has a touch phone like resolution and comes loaded with features. There’s connected tech, a myriad functions via the Jeep Life app, stuff like online software updates for the customer, wireless Apple CarPlay and features like cooled seats.
Also new is the central console that’s a bit higher, a bit wider and has wireless charging up front. You also get a Type C and a normal USB slot, and further back, the control for the four-wheel-drive system has been changed from a round rotary dial to a metal toggle switch. Other all-wheel-drive functions like 4WD low, hill decent control and 4WD lock have been shifted to a row of buttons below the gear lever.
