Explore the Technology & Safety Features of the 2021 Jeep Compass
Posted on August 2, 2021
The Jeep Compass occupies a unique niche in the compact SUV market, combining genuine off-road chops with a city-friendly size and style. But there's much more to this model than power under the hood. Like all its modern Jeep siblings, the 2021 Compass is packed with plenty of advanced infotainment and safety technology, both as standard and through optional extra packages.
What to Expect?
At the entry-level, the 2021 Jeep Compass is equipped with a 7" infotainment touchscreen providing easy access to advanced functions including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth streaming, and more. The system is powered by Jeep's custom Uconnect software, which gives a responsive and user-friendly experience.
But that's not the end of the infotainment story. Higher trims upgrade the touchscreen to a generous 8.4" in size, add in-built navigation, and replace the standard six-speaker sound system with a premium nine-speaker Alpine setup.
Advanced Safety and Driver-Assist Tech for 2021
The advanced technology provision continues into the wide range of active safety and driver-assist systems. Key standard and available highlights include:
- Forward-collision warnings with full-speed automatic emergency braking.
- Lane departure warnings with optional lane-keeping assist.
- Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts.
- Adaptive cruise control with city-friendly stop / go ability.
- Rear parking sensors with automatic rear braking.
- Rain-sensing windshield wipers, automatic high beams, and auto-dimming rearview mirror.
Lastly, the all-wheel-drive versions of the Compass are available with advanced traction control technology in the form of the Selec-Terrain option. This system balances output from the 180 horsepower engine to each wheel individually, improving traction and handling across a wide range of challenging terrains and driving conditions.
The Selec-Terrain system is married to a silky-smooth nine-speed automatic transmission, making the Compass equally at home navigating heavy city traffic or tackling tough off-road challenges.
