lifted jeep patriot
Chrysler’s been working its manner via its lineup, giving nearly all 2011 stay away from, Chrysler, and Jeep cars remodeled interiors and revised mechanicals, if no longer outright remodeling the complete version. Now it’s the diminutive Compass’s turn, and its remedy is extra the previous than the latter. The Compass shares most of its grimy bits with the Jeep Patriot, which has also been revised for this 12 months. (you might remember the fact that when the Patriot and Compass have been being tested by using attention organizations previous to production, men desired the Patriot, whilst girls preferred the Compass. Jeep meant to build best one of the automobiles, however in place of clearly, you know, make a decision, the corporation produced each. And right here we are.)
The 2011 Compass gets a new face, nicer cabin substances, a new suspension, and a new, off-street-orientated optionally available AWD system. The maximum obvious adjustments are up front, where the Compass gets a new hood, fascia, fenders, grille, and headlights. The result looks as if a Grand Cherokee that shriveled in the wash and won an upswept grin; it’s more attractive than the gawky appearance of the outgoing model. The own family resemblance is of course planned, and Jeep jokingly calls this the “Grand” Compass. The rear is restyled with a brand new roof spoiler, LED hind lights, and a brand new bumper, and the Compass restricted receives a chrome exhaust tip and bumper step plate. New chromed roof rails are to be had, and the decrease body sides have protecting cladding to help address off-street or—much more likely—buying-cart dings. Seventeen-inch aluminum wheels are fashionable, with chrome or aluminum 18-inchers to be had on the restrained.
The 2011 version’s indoors gains a new 3-spoke steerage wheel with included audio and cruise controls, a redesigned middle stack, better-exceptional upholstery, gentle-touch materials on the door panels, and newly backlit door switches. An armrest and cruise control at the moment are popular for all Compass trims. As for mechanicals, the Compass blessings from similar suspension improvements as seen at the 2011 Patriot (and the 2011 steer clear of caliber, another platform-mate); these consist of higher-charge springs and shock absorbers, as well as a thicker rear anti-roll bar. There’s also a brand new All-climate functionality package deal, which equips the SUV with Goodyear all-terrain tires, an engine-block heater, tow hooks, daytime going for walks lights, and all-climate ground mats so your carpet won’t get all mussed while you power your Compass in a storm, that is first-class.
There are no powertrain modifications: A 158-hp, 2.Zero-liter four-cylinder is fashionable on base and latitude models, at the same time as a 172-hp, 2.4-liter unit is optional on the ones trims and general at the confined. A five-pace manual is standard at the entry-stage Compass, with a constantly variable transmission being non-compulsory; the CVT is popular for range and confined fashions.
Front-wheel power is the default arrangement, at the same time as one-of-a-kind all-wheel-force structures can be prepared. Freedom drive I contains over from last 12 months; it’s an active AWD system that can be locked into all-wheel-power mode. New for 2011 is the freedom drive II package, a far better setup that turned into formerly simplest to be had on the Patriot. It bundles low-range gearing, skid plates, tow hooks, fog lighting, and a one-inch suspension raise, and is designed for folks who want to try severe off-roading with their Compass—a demographic we didn’t realize existed.
The revised Compass may be in dealerships through the stop of this month. At the same time as the brand new Grand Cherokee is both fantastically succesful off-avenue and really equipped on pavement, the Compass has heretofore been quite horrible to power, so regardless of the brand new suspension, any resemblance among the GC and this SUV might also handiest be skin deep. Nevertheless, Chrysler has finished a very good activity instilling competence in many of its formerly disappointing products—witness the Sebring-became-2 hundred—and we’re searching ahead to finding out if that’s the case with the Compass.
