School is almost back in session and, if you’re among the many families that are getting ready to send their recent high school graduates off to college, you probably want to make sure they’ve got a reliable set of wheels as they leave the nest and head out on their own. Many parents in this situation want to make sure their outbound college students are equipped with a vehicle they’ll enjoy while making sure they’re as safe as possible.
Of course, it’s also nice to know they’ll be able to come home for a visit whenever they can, so you’re going to want to find them a vehicle that will hold up for a long time. Here are four reasons why the Jeep Compass makes the perfect vehicle for college students.
Connected Infotainment
The new Jeep Compass comes standard with a Uconnect 4 infotainment system that offers Bluetooth integration with most popular smartphone platforms. Not only does this make talking while driving a lot safer due to hands-free calling capabilities but it also offers your college driver access to their favorite mobile applications through support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Once your student has paired their phone with the onboard infotainment system, they’ll have instant access to navigation, streaming media, and more.
This is a must-have for any college student that wants to stay connected while they’re driving.
Space for Friends
It probably isn’t going to take long for your college student to make new friends at school, especially if they’re rolling in a sweet ride like the Jeep Compass. With room for up to five friends at a time, this is the perfect vehicle for your student to pack their friends in and head out for some weekend adventures when they need to decompress. Be prepared, though. It’s only a matter of time before they decide to bring somebody home for you to meet!
Plenty of Cargo Capacity
If there’s one thing that’s true for every college student throughout history, it’s that they’re going to need lots of space to bring things back and forth between home and school. Whether it’s furniture, loads of laundry, or sporting gear, your student is likely to accumulate a lot of stuff. The Jeep Compass has you covered here with a minimum of 27.2 cubic feet and up to 59.8 cubic feet of available cargo space with the rear seats folded down, your student will have plenty of room for all of their gear.
Safe for Everyone
One of your biggest concerns is likely keeping your college-aged driver safe while they’re on the road. With advanced safety technologies like lane departure sensors, forward collision emergency braking, and available intelligent cruise control, you can rest assured that your student will be safe every time they get behind the wheel of their Compass. After all, even with all of the other amazing features this vehicle has to offer, if your student isn’t safe, you’re going to look somewhere else.
