Jeep Commander is a name familiar to many. Jeep has used this moniker for multiple vehicles in different markets, and here is yet another one. This 2022 Jeep Commander is essentially the seven-seat version of the Compass.
The Jeep Compass is a very important sales driver for the brand globally, even though it’s been a bit of a flop in the UAE and other GCC markets. The compact crossover SUV has been running its current guise for more than 3 years now. Jeep revealed a facelift for the Compass in China late last year, which just made its Indian debut as well.
In terms of sheer volume, there is no bigger automotive segment than the one comprising compact SUVs. Jeep recognised this more than a decade ago and rolled out the Compass and Patriot to target the horde of (mainly) young buyers snapping up crossovers by the hundreds of thousands. It was a new foray for a brand that had until that point focused on larger, heavy-duty SUVs that embodied Jeep’s conquer-all-terrain roots.
The 2017 Jeep Compass bridges the gap between the small Renegade and the slightly-beyond-compact Cherokee. Publicly debuting the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show, the new Compass aims to liven up the sales of the compact SUV with the refresh.
Here comes the 2017 Jeep Compass and it’s all-new from the ground up! As a new C-Segment SUV from Jeep, it’ll replace both the Jeep Compass or Patriot models, while comfortably slotting in between the Renegade and Cherokee.
The 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot continue largely unchanged for this year, but will now be available with a 6-speed automatic transmission and a few trim upgrades.
Back in January, Jeep boasted off a fully blacked-out, stealthy version of the new Grand Cherokee at the 2012 Houston Auto Show, which they said was intended for production. Following that, the company set up a ‘Name My Ride’ contest in the States to find the perfect name for their latest creation.
Cancelled a while ago in the GCC due to poor sales, the Jeep Compass is back for 2011 in the U.S. with styling cues coming directly from the new Jeep Grand Cherokee. Coupled with interior refinements, upgraded steering and suspension, slightly-redone rear and a new face, the 2011 Compass may still be based on the Dodge Caliber platform, but now comes with an offroad-capable “Trail Rated” optional all-wheel-drive system.
Chrysler, maker of Dodge and Jeep, has announced a recall for as many as four models in as many days. Among the three different recalls, the first one involves the Dodge Caliber and the Jeep Compass, the second involves the Chrysler Voyager minivan, and the third involves the Jeep Wrangler.
