Compact crossovers are a popular choice for many drivers, and it’s not hard to see why. The comfort and convenience of a larger vehicle packed into the manageable body of a compact car is great for families with kids, folks with pets, or drivers who need a bit of extra space. And when you combine that convenience with the Jeep brand, you get a crossover that’s unstoppable.
The Jeep® Compass features a sleek exterior design that can still hold its own in off-road environments, and is packed with plenty of popular features and helpful technology. But how safe exactly is this compact crossover? Here’s an overview of the Jeep Compass, available now at A M Maus & Son, plus a look inside its safety features.
