There is a new three-spoke steering wheel and a larger, fully-digital instrument cluster. The Compass facelift carried over the light-grey leather upholstery for the seats and the panoramic sunroof from the pre-facelift model.

Along with the larger infotainment screen, the Compass facelift also featured FCA's new UConnect 5 infotainnent system.

2021 Jeep Compass Facelift Global Debut In China

However, the Jeep Compass received its second update in November last year, making its global debut at the 2020 Guangzhou International Motor Show in China. This brought more notable upgrades to the SUV, a little over three years after it was first launched. This mid-life update was also more India specific and chronicled the changes we were expecting on the India-spec model.

Upgrades on the 2021 Jeep Compass facelift at China included tweaked headlamps with integrated LED DRLs, new honeycomb inserts on the seven-slat front grille, a new front bumper with larger air intakes and revised fog lamp housing.

The SUV also featured new alloy wheels with a tweaked design for the skid plate, while changes to the rear were limited to the subtly revised LED taillights and the bumper.

2020 Jeep Compass Facelift

The Jeep Compass was launched in 2017 and received its first major update for the Western markets in June 2020. This product refresh included a subtle nip and tuck to the design, an updated set of new features and the option of a new engine in select markets.

The update though was specific to the Western markets and included the new 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine replacing the 1.4-litre MultiAir unit. The new engine is tuned to deliver 128 bhp on the manual and 148 bhp on the dual-clutch automatic version, while churning out 270 Nm of peak torque as standard. Jeep also introduced a new 1.6-litre turbocharged diesel engine in select markets at the same time.

Visually, you would be hard-pressed to look for changes on the 2020 Jeep Compass facelift with revisions restricted to new alloy wheels and a paint job. The signature design elements remained untouched. It did get the new infotainment screen though with a new user-interface compatible with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa.
