The Jeep Compass provides a path to affordable Jeep ownership, providing a quality off-road vehicle with a low sticker price. New Jersey residents who would like to hit the trail with the Compass should visit their local Butler Jeep dealership to arrange a test drive.
The Jeep Compass is a compact SUV manufactured by Jeep, a division of Chrysler. The standard Compass is powered by a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine and has a five speed manual transmission. This is less powerful than larger Jeep models, but sufficient for good off-road performance. Consumers can get versions of the Compass with more powerful 2.4 liter engines and six-speed auto transmission.
The Compass can come with one of two electronic four-wheel drive systems, the Freedom Drive I or the Freedom Drive II. The Freedom Drive 1 has locking capabilities, while the Freedom Drive II improves upon the FD I by using its CVT transmission to obtain a 19:1 gear reduction.
Base models of the Jeep Compass have front wheel drive. Higher trims will have greater off-road ability.
The Compass offers drivers adequate legroom and headroom, and reviewers have praised the arrangement of controls on the steering wheel and dash, saying they provide an intuitive interface.
The Compass is far less expensive than other Jeep brands and is highly competitive with other sport utility visions in its segment. The Compass offers a great intro to Jeep for new owners.
