Released in 2007, the Jeep Compass is a relative newcomer, but it has quickly made its presence felt. With a rugged design and top safety features, the 2020 Jeep Compass is made for adventure. Discover why this best-selling compact crossover SUV thrives in the great outdoors.
All-Wheel Drive Is Available With Every Model
An all-wheel drive is an option for every 2020 Jeep Compass model. This drivetrain suits outdoor adventures far better than a four-wheel-drive system. Since all four wheels drive the vehicle forward, all-wheel-drive keeps your car moving even if one or two wheels lose traction. You’ll appreciate the extra grip in the mud or snow, over uneven terrain, or through shallow water. All-wheel drive vehicles also tend to handle better.
Different Driving Modes Help You Conquer All Terrains
The all-wheel-drive drivetrain isn’t the only feature improving traction. Different drive modes on the Selec-Terrain system take away the guesswork and help the Compass take on any terrain. Simply set the car to snow, sand, or mud mode and let the car direct torque to the wheels as required. This intuitive feature makes driving on unfamiliar outdoor surfaces a breeze.
All the Space You Really Need
The Compass’ 27.2 cubic feet of cargo space might seem meager on paper, but that statistic doesn’t tell the whole story. Fold down the rear seats and cargo space more than doubles to 59.8 cubic feet. You can even fold down the front passenger seat in some models for extra space when carrying fishing poles or other long items.
Smartly organized space means you can make the best use of the Compass’ cabin. The trunk area is wide, so you can easily fit suitcases and other bulky items inside. Tie-downs mounted in the back help keep your cargo in place. The trunk isn’t your only storage space, there’s more storage under the cargo floor, and cubbies are located throughout the cabin for all your essentials.
Uconnect Helps You Stay in Touch
Jeep’s Uconnect system is standard across the Compass range. This infotainment system helps you stay connected on the road. It lets you play your favorite tunes or call your loved ones or roadside assistance if you get in a jam. The system also includes a USB port and an auxiliary input port. Auto experts say Uconnect’s intuitive, responsive design make it one of the best infotainment units.
Trailhawk Trim Is Made for Off-Roading
All Compass’ can travel off-road, but the Trailhawk trim thrives in punishing conditions. Lifted suspension, more rugged 17-inch tires and protection plates underneath let you tackle uneven terrain while protecting your investment. A lockable center differential, first-gear hold, and hill descent control help keep the Trailhawk surefooted. The Selec-Terrain system gets a rock setting that helps you take on those treacherous mountain trails. All-wheel drive is also standard for the Trailhawk trim, not an optional extra.
If you need a vehicle that’s made tough, look no further than the Jeep Compass. It’s a capable people mover around town, but take it off-road, and you’ll discover just what this crossover SUV can do.
