The 2017 Jeep Compass made its debut at the November
AutoMobility LA Auto Show, and has recently hit showrooms. It arrives as Jeep’s
new compact SUV, and because it is redefining the segment, we here at Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram FIAT of Ontario feel a spotlight should be shown on its
impressive and innovative features. The all-new Compass is still full of
serious hardware to take you through all kinds of challenging terrain. Jeep’s
goal in this redesign was to redefine what it means to be an urban explorer,
and the 2017 Jeep Compass gives a fresh look at that, and invites people to the
outdoors.
4x4 Systems You Can Really Adventure With
It all starts with the 4x4 systems. Jeep Active Drive sends
power to all four wheels and can even direct up to 100% of available torque to
a single wheel. This means added confidence that you’ll need to get where you’re
going, whether you’re blazing a new trail or just running to the store. For the
more serious off-roader, the Jeep Active Drive Low system offers a 20:1 crawl
ratio to get over seriously tough terrain. Both of these systems come with Jeep
Selec-Terrain system. Each mode customizes the 4x4 system to power through
snow, sand, mud, or rocky conditions. Jeep hasn’t forgotten that their vehicles
are also driven on paved roads. The fully independent suspension combine with
the rigid chassis to ensure on road driving is just as sure footed.
17 Powertrain Combinations for Ultimate Customization
Powering the 2017 Jeep Compass for sale in Ontario, CA is
the trusty 2.4-liter Tigershark four-cylinder engine. The refined motor
utilizes technology like MultiAir2 variable valve-actuation to produce 180
horsepower and 175 pound-foot of torque. The 4x2 model can be equipped with
either a six-speed manual or a six-speed Aisin automatic transmission. The 4x4
models can utilize either the six-speed manual or the class exclusive
nine-speed automatic transmission.
A Look That Fits Both the Great Outdoors or Great Cityscape
On the outside Jeep has given the 2017 Compass a complete
restyle. Gone is the innocent look of the previous model. The new Compass has a
look that shows you that it means business. The well-known seven-slot grille is
featured up front. The rear fenders rise up to meet a roof that is painted
gloss black. This gives the new Compass a tough and premium look. LED
taillights create a unique rear signature. It’s all new, but instantly recognizable
as a Jeep.
