West Herr Chrysler Jeep Suzuki, a Buffalo-area Jeep dealership, is celebrating 70 years of Jeep with the 2011 Jeep Compass.  The Compass is everything Buffalo Jeep drivers love about the brand: it offers amazing off-road performance and general versatility.  The abilities of the 2011 Jeep Compass will impress any Buffalo Jeep fan.

The Compass and Latitude trims are built with a standard 2.0-liter World Engine that provides 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque coupled with continuously variable transmission (CVT2).  Even better, when paired with the five-speed manual transmission, the 2011 Jeep Compass delivers 23 city miles per gallon and 29 highway miles per gallon – fuel economy that is unsurpassed in the compact SUV segment.

Built To Please Buffalo Jeep Drivers

The Compass has a more refined interior than the average Jeep; with new soft touch front door trim panels with a padded upper surface and a new center armrest.  The new Jeep steering wheel is built with integrated controls that allow the driver to operate the radio, cruise control, available hands free phone and other vehicle functions while keeping their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road.

Safety is also a standard feature on the new 2011 Jeep Compass.  Each vehicle is standard equipped with side-curtain airbags, electronic stability control and electronic roll mitigation, among other safety and security features. Hill-start Assist is available when drivers choose a manual transmission.  Front-seat mounted side airbags are also available.

In addition, the 2011 Compass is packed with standard features that make the vehicle as convenient and comfortable as possible for drivers. Air conditioning, power locks and windows, heated exterior mirrors, keyless entry and cruise control all come standard on every Compass model.

Off-road enthusiasts will love the capabilities of the compass.  With its second generation continuously variable transaxle with low range, 17” all-terrain tires and aluminum rims, a one inch raised ride height, and a full size spare, the Compass has it all.  The second-generation Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT2L) has an integral low range that provides the torque multiplication needed for water fording, steep grades and crawling slowly in off-road events.
