5 reasons to buy the 2015 Jeep Compass
1. Good off-road capability
The Compass shines on off-road adventures with the Freedom Drive II package. This option adds off-road-focused features like hill descent control, skid plates, and a dedicated off-road mode. With this, the Compass transforms into a capable companion for rugged days out with friends and family, offering the go-anywhere vibe Jeep is known for.
2. Focused on comfort
The Compass's interior prioritizes comfort, even in the base model, with standard air conditioning and a convenient power outlet. For added luxury, the Latitude and Limited trims feature a leather steering wheel. The Sun and Sound group further elevates the experience with a sunroof and premium sound system, ensuring a pleasant journey full of light and great tunes.
3. Decent tech options
Technology in the 2015 Compass includes optional Bluetooth® and USB connectivity on higher trims. The Limited trim comes standard with a touchscreen interface, modernizing the cabin. Additional tech options like navigation, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and tailgate speakers add to the Compass's appeal.
4. Space for passengers and their things
Despite being a crossover, the Compass offers ample legroom, with 40.6 inches in the front and 39.4 inches in the rear. This spaciousness ensures comfort for everyone, no matter whether you're heading out for dinner or embarking on the road trip of a lifetime. The cargo area is also practical, providing 22.7 cu-ft of space, which opens up to 53.6 cu-ft with the rear seats folded — that's enough for your next flea market haul.
5. Variety of trims
With three available trims – Sport, Latitude, and Limited – the Compass offers a range of features to suit your lifestyle. Unique options like flip-down tailgate speakers and a cooled glovebox add fun and convenience, especially for that upcoming camping trim. The Latitude and Limited trims offer additional perks like a fold-flat front passenger seat and auto-dimming rearview mirror, enhancing versatility and ease of use.
