Performance

The Compass comes with a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine standard, which spins 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual transmission are standard as well, though all-wheel drive and a 9-speed automatic transmission are available.

The combination of the energetic engine and the stiff suspension make the Compass capable in rough environments and polite enough for daily driving. Both transmissions extract all the necessary power from this engine, giving you excellent passing and merging capabilities. This performance is backed by strong brakes and confident steering, as well as remarkable composure through curves and turns. Properly equipped, the Compass can tow up to 2,000 pounds.

Comfort and Space

The Compass has a durable and comfortable interior with supportive seats and plenty of padding, which works well for rough terrain and pot-holed streets. There's ample headroom and legroom throughout also, so passengers have the space to relax on long trips. Upgrades like zoned climate control, heated seats, and a heated steering wheel enhance the comfort further.

With the rear seats up, the Compass has 27 cubic feet of cargo space, which expands to 60 when the seats are folded flat. Tie-downs are located within the cargo bay as well, allowing for cargo configuration and edge-to-edge loading, and there are plenty of small storage compartments in the cabin.

Technology

The Compass comes standard with many desirable features, such as an intuitive 7-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth® connectivity, a 6-speaker sound system, and a USB port. Upgrades include an 8.4-inch Uconnect® touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone compatibility, satellite radio, and a premium Beats® sound system, giving you a full range of entertainment and information options in a user-friendly interface.

For safety, the Compass offers a package that bundles Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning and Mitigation, and Lane Departure Warning, along with a full complement of standard safety equipment. These features work together to alert you to vehicles and obstructions around your vehicle, helping you to avoid a collision, as well as take preventive measures to mitigate an impending collision.
