2018 Jeep Compass Temecula CA

What is new for the 2018 Jeep Compass?

The completely redesigned Jeep Compass hit the pavement late in 2017, so the 2018 model has limited changes. However, with this being the first full year of its production, we thought it would be worthwhile to discuss all the big highlights of the remodel. The Compass features an all-new design with an emphasis on sculptural, premium design and wide stance. Still, the Compass holds true to Jeep's personality with key styling features such as a seven-slot grille with chrome outlines on a Gloss Black field. The Compass is also a Trail Rated vehicle, designed with a small-wide 4x4 architecture, 8.2 inches of wheel articulation, and up to 8.5 inches of ground clearance. Under the hood, the Compass offers a proven MultiAir Tigershark engine with ample power. The Compass also features a Uconnect system with a touchscreen interface that comes in three sizes: 5.0-, 7.0-, and 8.4-inch. Best of all, the Compass prides itself on offering more than 70 safety and security features.

What makes the 2018 Jeep Compass capable off-road?

The 2018 Jeep Compass is incredibly capable off-road. Given Jeep's Trail Rated badge for off-road capability, the Compass has been meticulously tested and engineered for supreme performance. The Compass's powerful engine generates 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque and may be paired with one of three capable transmissions: a six-speed automatic, a nine-speed automatic, and a six-speed manual. The nine-speed automatic and six-speed manual are available with four-wheel-drive systems. Every four-wheel-drive system features Jeep's Selec-Terrain system; Selec-Terrain allows drivers to manipulate the 4WD to navigate any terrain with ease with four modes in most models: Auto, Snow, Mud, and Sand. Trailhawk models obtain a more advanced Selec-Terrain system with an extra Rock mode, as well as added features for more capability including a 30-degree approach angle, 34-degree departure angle, a 24-degree breakover angle, a 20:1 crawl ratio, 17-inch off-road tires, a 2,000-lb towing capacity, an increased ride height of an inch, skid plates, and up to 19-inches of water fording.
