Which Jeep Compass Is Right For You?

If you’re looking for a comfortable compact SUV with fantastic off-road capabilities, look no further than the Compass. Jeep shuffled a few features on the Limited and Trailhawk trims for the new model year and added an 80th Anniversary Edition. Which 2021 Compass is right for you? Stick around and find out.

Sport

If you’re into mobile tech, the Sport is a solid pick. In addition to ample comfort features like cloth upholstery and six-way manually adjustable front seats, it touts a robust Uconnect infotainment system. Its 7-inch touch-screen display is loaded with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus Bluetooth, voice recognition, and two USB charging ports. You’ll also enjoy the convenience of a rearview camera, remote keyless entry, and a six-speaker audio system.

Latitude

When the confidence of advanced safety features tops your list of priorities, move up to the Latitude variant. At this trim level, you can add Jeep’s Driver Assistance Group package that includes adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and forward-collision warning. It also touts posh touches like a leather-wrapped shift knob plus more tech including satellite radio and proximity keyless entry. 

80th Anniversary Edition

Jeep’s designers based the new-for-2021 80th Anniversary Edition on the Latitude variant. It comes decked out with trim-specific leather-trimmed seats with contrast stitching, Granite Crystal 19-inch wheels, and piano-black and gunmetal interior accents.

There are also must-have niceties like an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, an upgraded 8.4-inch touch screen, a 115-volt power outlet, and remote start. Other flourishes include trim-specific badging, a panoramic sunroof, an oak medallion key fob, heated front seats, a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a premium nine-speaker Alpine stereo system.

Limited

The Limited comes with every one of Compass’s available safety features and so much more. It gains a leather-wrapped shift knob, optional vinyl upholstery, satellite radio, and proximity keyless entry. 

Go ahead and add the Driver Assistance Group. This package includes a slew of features like automatic high-beam headlights, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, forward-collision warning, rain-sensing windshield wipers, rear parking sensors, rear cross traffic alert, blind spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control.

Trailhawk

You’ll want to head right to the range-topping Trailhawk trim if you plan to spend your time on the road less traveled. It comes equipped with the most off-road components, including standard four-wheel drive and a low crawler gear ratio as part of Jeep’s Active Drive Low feature.

Trailhawk models also boast extra skid plates, hill descent control, and two tow hooks. The Selec-Terrain’s Rock mode keeps this small SUV in first gear, and for the best traction management, it directs torque to whatever wheels need it. Available packages are designed to add all the comforts you want while exploring the wilderness, like driver’s seat memory settings, ventilated front seats, navigation, and a power liftgate.

Whether you’re in the market for tech, safety features, or robust performance, the Compass delivers. Schedule a test drive at Hutch Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram today. You’ll discover firsthand the Jeep that’s right for you!
