The 2018 Jeep Compass is the perfect pairing between legendary Jeep reliability and value. The Compass is frequently referred to as the little brother or younger sibling of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. This, however, does not come at the cost of overall quality. The 2018 Jeep Compass has several standout features, making it an excellent choice for your next vehicle.
Stylish and Refined Interior
With seating for five and a roomy interior, the 2018 Jeep Compass is a great option for families. It can comfortably seat four adults because of its generous legroom. The seats are on the firm side but still comfortable, making even the longest drives more tolerable. Trims equipped with the sunroof will have less headroom than those without, so bear that in mind when choosing a trim. The interior materials feel good to the touch, and the overall design of the interior is crisp and modern.
While the Compass doesn’t have the largest storage area in its class, the rear and front passenger seats fold almost entirely flat, allowing you to get creative with storage options. There are also several small storage areas and a hidden cargo bin beneath the floor.
Long drives with the family are easier with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration. The only thing to worry about is deciding what music everyone wants to listen to.
Tremendous Safety And Tech
You can rest assured that the Compass has your back whether you’re driving down the road for a quick snack or heading out on a road trip. It has some great safety and technology features that make it a superb vehicle for its class. Overall, the Compass tested well in crash tests and earned high marks especially for side impacts.
In addition to general safety, the 2018 Jeep Compass is equipped with a rearview back-up camera and has available blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure alerts, and other state-of-the-art safety features. In addition to these, the Compass also has available rain-detecting windshield wipers, automatic high beams, and automatic emergency braking.
Off-Roading
A compact SUV will never have all of the cargo and towing capacity of a full-size SUV, but the 2018 Jeep Compass does bring with it a powerful spirit despite being in the compact category. However, one area in which the Compass really stands out is its off-roading capability. The Compass has multiple all-wheel-drive modes and performs admirably well off-road among reviewers. Trims equipped with all-wheel drive have traction settings for mud, snow, and sand in addition to an automatic traction setting, so don’t be afraid to take the Compass on your next camping trip in the mountains.
With four trim levels available, you’re sure to find the right Compass for you and your family. If you’re looking for world-class safety and technology features, spring for the Jeep Compass Limited which comes with some enhanced infotainment features. Meanwhile, off-road junkies should look into the Trailhawk package. With all the Compass has to offer, you should definitely check one out at Rodeo Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram the next time you are in the market for a new vehicle.
