Recently, the launch of sales of the new generation of SUVs “Jeep Compass” of the 2014 model line was announced in Russia. The updated jeep has changed a little in appearance, but mostly significant changes have affected the technical part of the car. It is also worth noting that the level of comfort of the new items has become an order of magnitude higher. However, let's not rush things, let's look at each detail in more detail.
Jeep Compass FL Appearance Reviews
This update can be safely attributed to the category of "restyling", since the designers did not take any newly developed parts. The appearance of the new “Jeep Compass” has not changed much, but it is worth noting the presence of a new radiator grill, updated optics in the front and rear, as well as body-colored rear-view mirrors. Rims have also undergone restyling, becoming more modern.
Jeep Compass - reviews on dimensions and capacity
As for the dimensions, the updated version of the SUV has the following characteristics: length - 4.45 meters, width - 1.8 meters, and height - 1.67 meters (excluding the height of the trunk). Such impressive dimensions allowed engineers to achieve the maximum capacity of the luggage compartment, which now amounts to 460 liters. At the same time, its volume can be increased to 1270 liters by folding the rear row of seats.
The wheelbase is 2.63 meters, which is typical for cars of this class. It is also worth highlighting a large ground clearance of 20.5 centimeters, which was slightly different from the Jeep Compass 2013. Reviews about the new cross-country ability have only positive content, which is often confirmed by numerous test drives. "Jeep Compass" is simply designed for off-road, although it keeps on the track quite confidently.
Jeep Compass - interior reviews
In the new generation of the restyled Compass, changes in the front seats are significantly noticeable, which are equipped with a special lumbar adjustment system. In the "top" configuration, these two seats are additionally equipped with airbags.
Another distinguishing feature was the ability to choose the colors of the skin. Now, instead of the usual black leather, the buyer can choose some other (for example, brown). In general, the interior of the car was still as comfortable and cozy.
Jeep Compass Technical Reviews
It is worth saying that in the Russian market the novelty will be offered in only one engine variation, while in its homeland the Jeep Compass will be presented in four engine variants. But do not despair, because the car is supplied with the most “top-end” gasoline engine, which is in its segment. This four-cylinder unit has a capacity of 170 horsepower, and its working volume is 2.4 liters. The motor fully complies with the environmental standard EURO 5. It is equipped with a six- speed automatic gearbox, which replaced the stepless variator.
