Drivers in St. Louis, Chesterfield, and Kirkwood, MO, can learn more about the Jeep Compass MPG with our in-depth fuel economy review.

Powertrains

All Compass models come standard with a 2.4-liter inline-4 that produces 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. This engine mates to a 6-speed manual transmission, though a 9-speed automatic is available as an upgrade. Front-wheel drive is standard as well, though most models are available with all-wheel drive. The off-road-oriented Trailhawk and the luxury Limited trims are equipped with all-wheel drive standard.

Designed as a rugged off-roader, the Trailhawk trim comes with additional ground clearance and a specialized first gear that simulates a low range for a 20:1 crawl ratio. The traction control system also has Rock Mode built in, which includes Hill-Descent Control for steep inclines. These features enhance the off-road capability, but may also affect the real-world fuel economy.

Fuel Economy

Regardless of configuration, the Compass is remarkably efficient for a compact SUV designed for some sport use. In fact, most models are around 25 MPG combined, according to the EPA.

The most efficient Compass model is fitted with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual transmission, earning an EPA-estimated 23 MPG city, 32 MPG highway, and 26 MPG combined. Choosing the automatic transmission option brings those EPA-estimated ratings to 22 MPG city, 31 MPG highway, and 25 MPG combined. Choosing 4-wheel drive lowers the highway efficiency slightly by one MPG.

Features and Options

The Compass not only boasts the rugged look of the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee, complete with the signature 7-slot grille and headlights, but it also has many of the versatile features that make these vehicles so popular.

Every Compass model is equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen for infotainment, Bluetooth® connectivity, and Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration. Cloth upholstery is also standard, though comfort features like heated seats and a heated steering wheel are available. Other exciting upgrades are available as well, such as navigation, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, and exterior appearance packages.

Properly equipped, the Compass can tow up to 2,000 pounds, which is above average for the class. An optional tow package adds a 4-pin harness and an integrated Class III hitch, expanding its towing capability.
