As already said, the new 2011 Jeep Compass, has a distinct family resemblance to the all new, range-topping, premium 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a new bonnet, new front fenders, new fascia and new headlamps as well as a new grille.

 Adding an element of muscle, the bonnet has been enhanced with a subtle power bulge.
The result is a vehicle that projects an attitude that is much more serious and conveys the Compass’s capability in all weather and driving conditions.

New bright work throughout the exterior lends an upscale touch. This trend continues with enhancements to the rear of the Compass.

 Topping it off, a new set of roof rails were designed with a slimmed down appearance. The 2011 Compass Limited has new 18-inch aluminium wheels as standard.
