Which 2019 Jeep Compass trim is best for you?

2019 Jeep Compass Overview - The 2019 Jeep Compass slots between the Jeep Renegade and the larger Cherokee. It’s a compact crossover seating five and looks like a shrunken version of the full-size Grand Cherokee. Like most Jeep SUVs, the Compass is pretty solid offroad, but it gets a 4-cylinder engine lacking power and refinement. It’s only available with one engine option: a 2.4-liter inline-4 with 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. This compact crossover SUV competes with the Subaru Crosstrek, Honda CR-V, and Kia Sportage, though only the Crosstrek can come close to the capability of the Compass offroad. For 2019 the Jeep Compass got a few new option packages, a larger Uconnect screen in the Sport and Latitude trims, and the addition of adaptive cruise control in the optional Advanced Safety Package. There’s also a new Upland special edition for this model year (more on that under the Sport trim) and a new grey exterior paint color. Here’s how the four available trims break down for the 2019 Jeep Compass. Author: Abigail Bassett.
