Posted on July 27, 2017 by baysideadmin

A new video from Jeep focuses on the 2017 Jeep Compass and shows how it is designed from the ground up to give drivers a premium driving experience.

The new video put up on Jeep’s YouTube page takes a look at how something like the 2017 Compass is designed. It features an interview with the head of Advanced Color and Materials at the FCA Product Design Office. She highlights the materials used in the design of the 2017 Compass and how the team put together an interior that has a premium look and feel to it and is also comfortable.

For how much talk in the creation of vehicles is focused on the exterior design or the engine and the raw horsepower it can achieve, it is nice to see how engineers at FCA work with materials to help the driver with their driving experience. Watch the video here:
