Adaptive Cruise Control
With Adaptive Cruise Control, your Jeep will keep its speed constant until it detects a vehicle in front. Then when it does, your Jeep will then dynamically slow itself down to avoid a collision and then, when the road is clear again, speed back up to the desired speed for you.
Leather Power seats
With the interior you get the luxury standard you expect from Jeep. These include electrically adjustable leather seats that can be adjusted up to 8 different positions. Not only are these seats of a premium standard they also come with memory padding to adapt to your body to provide one of the best comfortable driving experiences.
E Costing
With E Costing the Jeep can intelligently recover some of the energy used when slowing down. This regenerative braking ability helps to generate more electricity to top up the batteries while driving. Helping to extend the Compass’ range.
Hey Jeep®
With Hey Jeep® you get your own voice assistant build into the SUV. To activate this feature, all you need to do is say “Hey Jeep” and talk to your car to give it commands. With Hey Jeep®, you can then adjust the air conditioning, change and adjust your music, configure your sat nav destination and lots more; while allowing you to keep your eyes on the road ahead.
Automatic Over the Air Software Updates
With the new Uconnect™ infotainment system getting updates to parts of your car, via downloading them to a USB device first, are a thing of the past. With the new Automatic Over the Air Software Updates, updates are automatically sent straight to your car to be kept up to date in almost real-time.
Traffic Sign Recognition
With the Traffic Sign Recognition feature, the Jeep Compass can recognise traffic signs in real time as you are driving along the road automatically; and then show you the information on the digital instrument cluster display in front of you. So missing the speed sign for the road you are on, is now a thing of the past too.
Intelligent Speed Assistance
With Intelligent Speed Assistance, your Jeep will automatically adjust your car's speed to the speed limit on the road you are driving along.
