The American company Jeep for the first time published the official pictures of the new crossover Jeep Compass 2017, which replaced the current Jeep Patriot. The novelty is built on the Jeep Renegade platform, which was also used to create the Fiat 500X crossover. The design of the new car resembles another SUV Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The photo shows the Jeep Compass Trailhawk, which is distinguished by a plastic body kit, a sloping front bumper and high profile tires. Characteristics of new items have not yet been fully announced.
According to media reports, the Compass 2017 will be available in the US car market with 1.4-liter petrol power units (170 "horses) and 2.4 liters (185 hp). A model with a 2-liter turbodiesel with 140 and 170 horsepower will be released in the European car market. In the future, a charged version with a 2-liter petrol turbo engine may also appear. The power units work in tandem with a 6-step “mechanics” or a 9-step “automatic”. Drive type - front or full.
