Does Jeep Compass Come With Power Tailgate

The 2021 Jeep Compass boasts a redesigned interior, fresher exterior styling, and an expanded suite of safety technology.

The base Launch Edition and S-Limited go on sale in mid-July 2021, with the Limited and Trailhawk to follow.

A special 80th Anniversary model will also arrive in late 2021.

The range opens $1000 higher than last year's entry point at $37,950 before on-road costs for the front-wheel drive Launch Edition, while the flagship Trailhawk is $1800 pricier at $51,250 before on-roads.

The redesigned dashboard has a three-tier look, with extensive stitching details, contrasting metal trim, and a chrome strip that conceals the passenger-side air vent. Jeep promises "premium materials and a refined finish".

Jutting out from the dash is a new 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, replacing the outgoing car's 8.4-inch unit.

It runs the new Uconnect 5 operating system and features wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as satellite navigation.

You can say "Hey Jeep" to change radio and climate control settings verbally, while the new infotainment system allows you to tailor your homepage to add shortcuts to your favourite functions.

There are also multiple user profiles, allowing you to customise your music, seat position, mirror angles and climate control preferences, plus a valet mode.

Standard on all bar the Launch Edition is a new 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a hands-free power tailgate, while all Compass models come with wireless phone charging.

Elsewhere in the cabin, there's a redesigned centre console that sits higher and offers almost 5L of storage under the centre armrest plus 2.4L of storage next to the redesigned shifter.

Changes are more subtle on the exterior, but include a restyled bonnet, grille and front bumper.

LED headlights are standard across the range in both projector and reflector guise, and include LED daytime running lights. LED fog lights sit below.

• Launch Edition

• Limited

Launch Edition and Limited models feature black bumpers and 18-inch alloy wheels, while the S-Limited upgrades to 19-inch alloy wheels and body-colour bumpers.

The Trailhawk has a unique grille, body-colour fog light bezels, a prominent skid plate, and smaller 17-inch alloy wheels.

Jeep has positioned the fog lights and camera radar higher for greater off-road protection.

Additional safety equipment includes traffic sign recognition, driver attention monitoring, adaptive cruise control with stop/go, and intelligent speed assist, while the autonomous emergency braking (AEB) now features pedestrian and cyclist detection.

That's in addition to features Jeep made standard across the Compass range in 2020, including AEB, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.

A surround-view camera is standard on the Trailhawk and optional on the S-Limited, and can be used at speeds of up to 12km/h.

Powertrains are carried over from last year's model. That means a naturally-aspirated 2.4-litre petrol four-cylinder with 129kW of power and 229Nm of torque for all models bar the Trailhawk, which retains a 125kW/350Nm 2.0-litre turbo-diesel four.

The 80th Anniversary model, available only in Bright White, Grey Magnesio, Brilliant Black and Minimal Grey, is based on the Limited and will be limited to just 160 units.

It adds various features from the S-Limited, including body-colour wheel arch flares, sill moldings and door cladding plus a nine-speaker Alpine sound system.

Though prices have only increased by around $1000 on most models, there's been a relatively substantial increase in standard equipment.

That includes keyless entry and start on the base model, plus a semi-autonomous parking assist for Limited and up.

These fuel economy figures are unchanged from last year, which suggests the 2020 Trailhawk's 5.7L/100km rating may carry over.

Servicing and Warranty

All 2021 Jeep Compass models come with a five-year, 100,000km warranty.

Owners also receive lifetime roadside assist if they service their Compass through Jeep dealerships.

Servicing is required every 12 months or 12,000km, whichever comes first. The exception is the Trailhawk, which requires servicing every 12 months or 20,000km.

Jeep offers five years of capped-price servicing, with each service costing $399.

Safety

The Jeep Compass has a five-star rating from ANCAP based on testing conducted in 2017.
