2012 Mopar Jeep Compass 'True North'

Like all Trail Rated® Jeep models, the Jeep Compass is a capable off-road machine. With the Mopar Jeep Compass "True North" model, Mopar further improves its off-road form and function.

The exterior features a matte black finish on the roof, wheel flares, lower fascia, door cladding and black grille with body color inserts. Other exterior touches include black-headlamp and fog-lamp surrounds, rear fog lights, custom front and rear brush bars and custom rock rails. Matte black 16-inch alloy wheels with BF Goodrich All Terrain tires and a 2-inch lift kit from Rocky Road Suspensions add some additional off-road go.

The interior received lots of attention from Mopar and renowned audio component manufacturer Kicker. The entire audio system, including front and rear speakers, amplifier, sub-woofer and lift gate speakers are provided by Kicker, and transform Jeep Compass into a rolling high-end sound studio. A custom center stack gauge pod that houses pitch and roll inclinometer gauges, add to the vehicle's off-road credentials. A Mopar bright pedal kit, door-sill guards, rear-cargo tray, shift knob and neoprene seats complement each other while enhancing the quality feel of the cabin.

That's the first respectable looking PT Cruiser Compass I've seen.

I agree.  It's what a mildly modded XJ Cherokee would look like.

The Compass has the same chassis as the Caliber and Patriot.

Looks like it could be a decent camping vehicle now.

Looks like someone at Jeep finally pulled their head out of that warm dark comfortable place they had it and realized that a Jeep IS supposed to be off-road capable no matter what model it is.  That is what the Jeep brand stands for.  This one looks to be a good step in the right direction, now if they would just make it the standard model and go from there.  If I wanted a vehicle (SUV type) to drive around on the road I'd probably buy something that got better mileage and softer susp than a Jeep.  These newer models is why we just got an older model ZJ Grand Cherokee (couldn't find a good XJ).  We needed the extra room that the wife's TJ didn't have.
Good start Jeep keep it up,
