2020 Jeep Compass Culpeper VA

What powertrain fuels the Compass's capability?

In order to be able to handle itself well on and off the road, Jeep outfits the Compass with a decent engine and comparable systems to enhance the small-SUVs performance. With each Compass, we see a 2.4-liter Tigershark Inline-4 engine that produces up to 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. The Compass also comes toting a choice between a 4x4 or 4x2 configuration, that alters what transmission comes standard with the trim model you end up selecting. With the Sport and Latitude 4x4, this engine comes standard with a manual transmission, while the latitude 4x2 and limited 4x2 trims come with a six-speed automatic transmission. Jeep also offers a nine-speed automatic transmission that comes with the off-road Trailhawk trim and Limited 4x4 and optional on other 4x4 trim models.

What are some of the key features offered with each model?

The 2020 Compass comes with a set of interior/exterior features that are determined based on the trim model selected. The baseline set of features found in every Compass starts with the baseline Sport trim level. With the Compass Sport, some of the key features that caught our attention include keyless engine ignition with a push-button start, quad-halogen headlamps with daytime running lights, power-adjustable heated mirrors, split-folding seats for additional storage options, dual-zone automatic temperature control, and a Uconnect Multimedia system on a 7-inch touchscreen display with Bluetooth connectivity and smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Latitude trim level is the next trim, that takes all of the features found in the base Sport trim and adds larger 17-inch wheels, roof rails for additional storage options, automatic headlights, cornering front fog lamps, ambient interior LED lighting, and leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel. If you are looking for off-road adventuring, Jeep brings in its iconic Trailhawk trim with the 2020 Compass, that improves and tunes various systems including an enhanced 4x4 system with a rear-axle disconnect that achieves a 20:1 craw ratio, an off-road-tuned suspension, underbody skid plates for additional protection, tow hooks on the front and rear of the SUV, and all-terrain tires. The highest level trim offered with the Compass is the Limited trim, which takes the features found in the Latitude trim and further adds larger 18-inch wheels, built-in windshield wiper de-icer, auto-dimming rearview mirror, premium Napp leather interior upholstery, a larger 8.4-inch touchscreen display, and more.

What safety features are included to enhance the Compass?

With the 2020 Compass, Jeep works hard to include top of the line safety and security features to give you confidence and put your mind at ease while on the drive. With the Compass we see a large number of safety-based features including a full advanced airbag system with multistage front airbags and supplemental airbags throughout the remainder of the cabin, an intelligent all-speed traction control system, anti-lock four-wheel brakes that include rain brake support, electronic stability control with roll mitigation, hill-start assist system, a rearview camera, trailer-sway control, and more. Jeep also offers a number of driver-assist features such as lane departure warning with lane keep assist, an advanced full-speed forward-collision warning system with automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection, and adaptive cruise control.
