The Jeep Compass facelift is similar to the model unveiled at the 2020 Guangzhou Auto Show.
Updates on the exterior are minimal and it would take a close look to tell the difference. For starters, there’s a new body color option along with subtle cosmetic changes like the adjusted seven-slat grille, new full LED headlights, new alloy wheels, and new LED taillights. Both bumpers, front and rear bumpers have also been revised and it also has a wider honeycomb mesh airdam at the front which gives it even more butch appeal. Now it is on the inside that we can see some substantial improvements. For example, you have a new dash that now has a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen unit, while the knobs for the switches for the climate control and the start-stop button have been repositioned and have a knurled finish. There is a new treatment for the interiors with soft-touch upholstery and there is also a new steering wheel along with an updated instrument panel. Then Jeep has also increased the storage space in the center console.
