New information about the new Jeep Compass
facelift has surfaced online from Brazil. Brazil is where the Mk2 Jeep Compass
was developed, and its mid-cycle refresh is being prepared there only. According
to a new report from Auto Esporte, the 2021 Jeep Compass will have subtle
design changes.
The report says that the headlamps will be narrower yet occupy
more of the front bumper, meaning that they will be taller. The Brazilian
publication has reflected this visual change in one of its renderings, which
makes it seem as if the new headlamps will be inspired by those of the Jeep
Commander/Grand Commander.
The seven-slot grille, a signature Jeep
design element, will be positioned slightly higher in the new Jeep Compass. The
rendering suggests that the visual changes on the central and lower grille
openings, the fog lamp housing and the bumper will be more noticeable instead.
At the rear, the tail lamps, like the headlamps, will look narrower. Inside,
expect all-new infotainment systems from the Uconnect 5 family, with screen
sizes up to 12.3 inches. A virtual instrument cluster is highly unlikely to be
offered.
The Jeep Compass will get the 1.3-litre
FireFly turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with its mid-cycle refresh
internationally, as a replacement for the 1.4-litre MultiAir turbocharged
four-cylinder petrol engine.
