This 2.0-litre direct injection turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, a premium offering in the automotive industry, is capable of an impressive 200 horsepower and 221 lb.-ft. of torque. Paired with an efficient eight-speed automatic transmission, the new engine boasts of low emissions, an outstanding fuel economy thanks to the engine stop-start (ESS) technology, quick 0-96 km/h launch performance, and enhanced drivability.
Keeping up with its tradition of being an off-road champion, Jeep Compass 2023 presents an Active Drive 4x4 system standard on all its models. The Trailhawk model steps it up a notch with a class-leading 20:1 crawl ratio.

Premium LED projector headlamps and taillamps are available on Limited and Trailhawk models, while LED fog lamps are standard on North and above models. A special-edition (RED) model, based on the Limited trim, further elevates the Compass's visual appeal with unique features and expanded exterior paint colour options.
Inside, the new Compass comes with an advanced safety package that includes next-generation technology features, such as drowsy driver detection, Full-speed Forward Collision warning with Active braking, Pedestrian/Cyclist Automatic Emergency Braking, and more. It also introduces the next-generation Uconnect 5 infotainment system, complete with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities, and a standard 10.1-inch high-definition touchscreen radio.
The Jeep Compass 2023 ensures that fuel economy doesn't take a hit with the class-exclusive fully disconnecting rear axle and power-transfer unit (PTU) in 4x4 models. Furthermore, the standard Selec-Terrain provides up to four modes for optimal four-wheel-drive performance in any weather condition, which is enhanced even more on the Trailhawk model with the addition of the Rock mode.
