Spy photographers have snapped the facelifted Jeep Compass on numerous occasions and now the company has released the first teaser images ahead of its debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show. Looking instantly recognizable, the facelifted model has a revised grille and restyled headlights with daytime running lights now located up top.
Bigger changes occur below as the 2022
Compass adopts a redesigned front bumper with a larger central intake. We can
also see new fog lights and a sportier lower opening. While the teaser images
don’t show the rear end, undisguised pictures surfaced earlier this month.
However, there isn’t much to see as there doesn’t appear to be any changes.
The same can’t be said about the interior
as the facelifted Compass will adopt an all-new infotainment system with a
metallic frame. Beneath the free-standing display is new switchgear and
restyled air vents which feature a landscape orientation. The teasers also
reveal a new dashboard with metallic accents and upholstered surfaces. Little
else is known about the model at this point, but the Chinese-spec Compass
should be virtually identical to the North American variant. However, we won’t
know for sure until the US-spec model is introduced later this year or in early
2021.
Regardless, engine options could carryover
and include a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that produces 180 hp and 237 Nm of torque. Europeans can expect an
assortment of options including a plug-in hybrid with a 11.4 kWh battery pack
which enables it to travel approximately 50 km on electricity alone.
