FLEXIBILITY

Jeep Compass

Whether you have two doctors’ appointments or are headed out of town for a camping trip, the Jeep Compass makes on-the-fly adaptations to ensure it’s always ready for the next adventure.

Looks That Impress

Take one look at the Jeep Compass, and you’ll notice the professional-grade design that speaks volumes without whispering a word. The Compass expertly blends a familiar silhouette with a more geometric profile found with some other models from the brand.

This mix wasn’t by mistake—design experts worked tirelessly to create a vehicle that looks just as comfortable at an upscale restaurant as it does at a trailhead. To achieve this, every detail of the Compass was thoughtfully considered, including:

  • Squared wheel arches that signal confidence and are practical on untamed roads.
  • LED reflector headlamps that cut through dark roads with ease.
  • Wide palette of color options, such as the vibrant Joose, Hydro Blue, and Red Hot.

Some Compass trims also include a black hood decal. The matte-like finish of the decal has anti-glare properties, which are helpful both during your commute home at sunset and when crossing an open field at high noon. Of course, no Jeep vehicle would be complete without the iconic seven-slot grille, which tells a storied tale of unbridled adventure.

Go Here, There, & Everywhere

Not only does the Jeep Compass look like a versatile SUV, but it also has the flexible features to back up the claim, starting with its spacious cabin. Front and rear passengers are treated to near-identical dimensions, ensuring every rider has an equally comfortable experience. The Compass offers plenty of cargo space, meaning there’s room for everything without needing to use someone’s lap.

Jeep Compass Interior Dimensions
Headroom (front/rear)39.2/38.5 in.
Legroom (front/rear)41.8/38.3 in.
Cargo Capacity (min/max)27.2/59.8 cu. ft.

The Compass is the type of SUV that constantly adapts to changing conditions. Heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and an optional Dual-Zone Auto Temperature Control system work tirelessly to keep the cabin cozy, regardless of outside conditions.

CAPABILITY

Jeep Compass

Adventures come in all shapes and sizes. With legendary Jeep 4x4 capability and an optional Trail Rated® badge, the Jeep Compass will lead you confidently through the great outdoors.

Iconic Power Built In

Under the hood of every Jeep Compass is a 2.0L Turbo engine, which packs a punch: 200 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque enable you to ascend hillsides and tow a 2,000-pound trailer or boat when properly equipped. Beyond this power, many standard or available systems help keep the Compass’ forward momentum, even when roads turn rough:

  • 4x4 capabilities with optional Jeep Active Drive Low
  • Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System
  • Hill Descent Control

Paired with an EPA-estimated 23 city/31 highway MPG rating, the Compass makes easy work out of every task.

Tried & True Greatness

For serious adventurers, the Jeep Compass Trailhawk trim level has all the features you need. It wears the Trail Rated® badge with honor, showcasing its ability to excel in these five key areas of off-roading:

  • Traction
  • Water fording
  • Maneuverability
  • Articulation
  • Ground clearance

The Compass Trailhawk also features an off-road suspension to help minimize road imperfections and four underbody skid plates to help protect your SUV from natural hazards. Plus, the premium cloth/leather-trimmed seats make easy work out of playtime cleanup.

INGENUITY

Jeep Compass

Life can make it sometimes feel like you’re moving in a million different directions. The Jeep Compass has just what you need to stay connected, entertained, and aware every mile of the way.

Front-Row Entertainment

At the heart of the Jeep Compass’s digital experience is the Uconnect®5 infotainment system. This advanced system lets you pair your smartphone with your SUV, allowing you to access your phone’s features without touching your device. Key aspects of the Uconnect®5 infotainment system include:

  • 10.1-inch display
  • Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™
  • 4G LTE Wi-Fi® Hot Spot
  • USB ports in both rows

Since every commute is more enjoyable with a soundtrack playing in the background, the optional 9-speaker Alpine ® Premium Audio System adds a 12-channel, 506-watt amplifier to ensure every note feels immersive.

Confidence Is Your Best Asset

There is nothing more important than your safety. That’s why the Jeep Compass is equipped with a wide range of advanced driver-assist features that work with your safe driving skills to monitor your surroundings and alert you to hazards you may have missed. In some cases, features may assist with gentle braking or steering assistance to help avoid a collision.

Some of the standard or available driver-assist systems offered with the Compass include:

  • Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
  • Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection
  • Active Lane Management

When you have a long commute ahead of you, the optional Active Driving Assistant system steps in to help reduce driving fatigue. Sophisticated monitoring technology can assist with throttle management and lane positioning to keep a safe distance from other vehicles.
