Off-Road Ready!
One of the key highlights of the all-new Jeep Compass is definitely its off-road ability. The 2017 Compass lineup achieves its best-in-class available off-road delivery through two intelligent 4x4 systems. Jeep Active Drive is a full-time 4x4 system, and Jeep Active Drive Low is a full-time 4x4 system with a 20:1 crawl ratio.
Each of these advanced systems can send the full amount of available torque to any individual wheel. Additionally, both systems include the Jeep Selec-Terrain system. This feature offers up to five modes of four-wheel-drive performance in any weather, on-road or off-road:
AutoSnow
Sand
Mud
Rock (Trailhawk model)
AutoAdventure-Ready Design
The 2017 Jeep Compass is designed to meet the needs of the modern adventurer, rising to the challenge of any terrain that thrill seekers want to tackle. Genuine Jeep styling is on display: the quintessential seven-slot grille, an available dual-panel sunroof for open-air enjoyment, an available power liftgate, and a sculpted exterior aesthetic.
On the inside, the Compass is designed for functionality. The vehicle's center console organizes key functions for prime accessibility, including the available Selec-Terrain controls, the gear-shift selector, the electronic parking brake, the climate control and volume knobs, and charging and connectivity ports.

Among its prime amenities, the 2017 Jeep Compass features four new Uconnect systems that serve up the communication, navigation, and entertainment features vehicle occupants want most. Smartphone connectivity is also now available through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
