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.

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 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,
