Model History

2017-

Current Generation

The new Compass, which slots above the Renegade and below the Cherokee, should be better than its uncompetitive and outclassed predecessor. Power comes from a 180-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder--an engine we found to be somewhat unrefined and sluggish in other Jeeps. Three transmission choices are available: six-speed manual, and six- and nine-speed automatics. It has a roomy rear seat and the excellent Uconnect infotainment system. The Trailhawk will be the more robust off-road version, with rock-crawling gearing and off-road tires, and the ability to tow up to 2,000 pounds. The Compass got a refresh for 2022 with altered exterior style and a heavily revised interior design and controls layout. Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning, and lane keeping assistance are now standard on all trim levels. For 2023, Jeep replaced the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with a 2.0-liter turbochagred four-cylinder. The nine-speed automatic has been replaced by an eight-speed.

2007-2016

2007 Redesign Year

The Compass is a small, cramped, car-based SUV that shares a platform with the Dodge Caliber and the Jeep Patriot. The larger of its two engine choices, a 172-hp, 2.4-liter, four-cylinder, is sluggish and noisy. The continuously variable transmission works well and contributes to its respectable 22 mpg overall. A 2.0-liter engine is also available. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional. The ride is acceptable, but handling lacks agility. The Compass seats five and has 60/40 folding rear seats. Curtain airbags and stability control with electronic roll mitigation are standard. Interior quality suffers from cheap plastics and sharp, unfinished edges. Wide rear roof pillars impede the view aft.
