The Compass is an affordable compact SUV, designed to bring the
Jeep name to a broader range of drivers with its car-like on-road
capability and fuel economy.
Sharing the same platform as its stablemate, the Patriot, the
Compass is offered in both front-wheel and full-time four-wheel drive
configurations. Three trim levels are available: Sport, Latitude and
Limited. The front-wheel drive Sport and Latitude trims are powered by a
158-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, while all other models get a
172-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine (optional on the FWD Sport and
Latitude).
Available transmissions include a five-speed manual and a
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with manual shift mode. Sport
trims are equipped with 17-inch aluminum wheels, fog lights, air
conditioning, cruise control and a CD player with MP3 capability, while
Latitude trims add heated front seats, including a fold-flat passenger
seat, and a leather steering wheel with integrated audio controls.
The
Limited is further outfitted with 18-inch aluminum wheels, a power
driverâ??s seat, leather upholstery, automatic climate control,
satellite radio and a 6-disc CD/DVD player. Trail Rated 4x4 capability
is available with a Freedom Drive II Off-Road package that includes
4-wheel drive off-road mode, hill descent control, all-terrain tires,
skid plates, tow hooks and a brake lock differential. Standard safety
features include anti-lock brakes with brake assist, electronic
stability control with roll mitigation, traction control and
side-curtain air bags.
The Jeep Compass carries over with minimal changes for 2013.
