Gulf Weekly New direction for the Compass

THE new 2011 Jeep Compass offers impressive 4x4 fuel economy and off-road capability in the compact-SUV segment and features a new design clearly influenced by the marque’s highly-coveted Jeep Grand Cherokee.

There are also a host of interior refinements and improved ride and handling characteristics, courtesy of upgraded steering and suspension systems.

“With the new 2011 Jeep Compass, we’ve applied the premium design cues of our award-winning all-new Grand Cherokee,” said Jeffrey Barrett, general manager at Ahmed Zayani & Sons.

“Combined with new interior appointments and refinements to the suspension and steering systems, Jeep Compass offers consumers a combination of styling, capability, fuel economy, efficiency, safety and value in the compact-SUV segment.

“A 6-CD changer, MP3 / CD player, power sun-roof, a premium audio system with sub-woofer, illuminated cup holders and fold-flat rear seats are some of the available cool features that make the Compass the perfect compact SUV, allowing consumers to enjoy any adventure.”

The Jeep Compass also boasts more than 30 safety and security features, including standard side-curtain air bags, electronic stability program, electronic roll mitigation and side curtain air bags for all rows.

With a new hood, new front fenders and new headlamps as well as a new grille, the new face of the Compass features a more serious, yet sophisticated, appearance, its designers say.

Forward lighting performance is improved with the use of quad reflector headlamps and adding an element of muscle, the hood has been enhanced with a subtle power bulge.

A new rear fascia, new body-colour rear spoiler and subtle, upscale touches including new LED tail lamps and on the Limited model, bright trim on the step pad and a chrome exhaust tip adorn the new model. Topping it off, are newly-designed roof rails that seem to slim down the marque’s appearance.

Interior upgrades include new soft touch front-door trim panels with a padded upper surface, a new centre armrest, and a new Jeep steering wheel with integrated controls. Other upgrades include new cloth interior with premium cloth bucket seats in the front, standard speed control on all models, new backlighting of door switches, door locks, windows and power mirror controls.

Standard features include AC, power windows, power locks, power/heated exterior mirrors, keyless entry, aluminum wheels, fog lamps and cruise control.
