Jeep Compass in Nepal has amassed a loyal following over the years for its stylish vehicles practically built for off-roading. 

The facelift of the new Jeep Compass 2021 comes with noticeable changes to the exterior while the interiors have been significantly modernized. There are slightest changes to the Compass exterior which include revised slimmer headlights with integrated LED DRLs, an updated version of Jeep’s seven-slat front grille, a tweaked front bumper with a larger air dam, and new fog light housings and alloy wheels. Talking about interior there is a completely revamped dashboard, with a new floating 10.1-inch touchscreen. The facelift also gets double-stitched leather inserts on the dashboard.

The Compass facelift also features LED headlights, connected car technology, a panoramic sunroof, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, dual-zone automatic climate control, wireless charging, a 360-degree parking camera, leather upholstery, powered tailgate, 8-way electrically-adjustable front seats with ventilation, and 18-inch alloy wheels. Safety features on the Compass Model include 6 airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist, traction control, ESC, hill-start assist, ISOFIX child seat mounts and parking sensors.
