AUBURN HILLS, Mich., April 4 -- Chrysler Group today announced the U.S. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for its all-new 2007 Jeep(R) Compass is $15,985 (including $560 destination).

The Jeep Compass will begin to arrive in U.S. dealerships and international volume markets in the third quarter of this year.
"With Compass, Jeep continues to expand globally by offering a fun-to- drive, fuel-efficient and affordably-priced Jeep vehicle designed to reach youthful customers who may not have previously considered the brand," said George Murphy, Senior Vice President - Global Marketing, Chrysler Group. "Compass is a new type of Jeep vehicle for non-traditional Jeep buyers.

Annual compact SUV volume in the United States for the 2005 calendar year was 368,000 units, up from 297,000 units in 2004. The compact SUV segment is expected to almost double to approximately 600,000 units by 2010 and almost triple to more than 814,000 units by 2016.
The newest Jeep will be available in both Compass and Compass Limited models. Both are available with front-wheel and four-wheel-drive capability.
"Jeep Compass will offer customers the confidence and assurance that comes with Jeep 4x4 capability," said Larry Lyons, Vice President - Front-wheel Drive Product Team. "Compass is a breakthrough all-new Jeep vehicle that provides the utility and functionality of an SUV with the performance, handling, fuel economy and price of a small car or small pickup."
