What engine powers the capabilities of the Compass?

In order to be able to fuel the Compass’s desire to explore off-road, Jeep works in a comparable 4-cylinder engine into each model. Under the hood of every Compass is a 2.4-liter Tigershark Engine that features MultiAir2 technology to push out 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque potential. This engine comes paired with a six-speed manual transmission with the Sport and Latitude 4x4 models, a six-speed automatic transmission with the Latitude 4x2 and Limited 4x2, or a nine-speed automatic transmission with the Trailhawk and Limited trims. The automatic transmissions are also respectively offered optional with each trim model. With this handy 4-cylinder engine, the Compass will go far being rated with a city/highway/combined fuel economy of 23/32/26 mpg.

Can you tell me more about the features offered with each trim model?

The Compass comes with three different trim models that offer a progression of features and one other trim model that is specialized specifically for off-road driving. The Compass Sport is the baseline trim that packs in a core set of features that are brought in with each other trim model.

Each Compass also is enhanced for off-road performance, with Jeep’s very own Selec-Terrain traction support system that adjusts the torque distribution within a 4x4 system to handle various types of terrain. The Latitude trim continues to build in more features as the second trim model offered with the Compass. Some of the key features that are brought in are roof rails, larger 17-inch wheels with all-season tires, rear-passenger air vents, automatic headlights, a one-year trial to SiriusXM radio, and premium vinyl interior upholstery. The Trailhawk trim outfits the Compass with features that enhance off-road capability for those looking for some extra adventure. Coming standard with each Compass Trailhawk is a raised suspension that is also tuned for off-roading, all-terrain tires for better grip, underbody skid plates, and an advanced Selec-Terrain system. The Compass Limited is the highest level trim offered with the small-SUV, adding in features such as larger 18-inch wheels, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, luxury perforated leather seating, and a larger 8.4-inch touchscreen display.
