Compass

2017

Think of the 2017 Jeep Compass as slotting between the Jeep Renegade and the Jeep Cherokee. It’s bigger than a subcompact but easier to park than a regular compact crossover. This all-new generation of Compass is actually built on the same platform as the pint-size Renegade, but is stretched so that rear legroom and cargo space are both greater. Look at the Compass with squinted eyes and you might even find that it’s reminiscent of the larger Grand Cherokee. The roof line, however, is lower than the Renegade’s, although headroom is still acceptable. The 2017 Compass replaces both the previous Compass and the Patriot models. Some first-generation versions are still available (also as 2017 models). These are no different from the 2016 iterations. It was difficult to recommend those earlier vehicles on any grounds other than price, but the new Compass has a lot more working in its favor. Not least of which is a more upscale cabin, along with generally pleasing driving manners.

<h4>Autotrader’s Advice:</h4> A logical choice would be the Latitude trim, perhaps with a few options. Going for something more expensive brings us closer to Jeep Cherokee territory.
<p></p>
<h4>What We Like:</h4> Unmistakeable Jeep styling; smart packaging; off-road-ready Trailhawk version.
<p></p>
<h4>What We Don’t:</h4> So-so performance.
<p></p>
<h4>Original MSRP:</h4> $21,035-$30,090 (when new).
<p></p>
<h4>MPG:</h4> The standard engine is a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder unit developing 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. It has a stop/start feature to save a little gas when idling. The default transmission is a 6-speed manual in the lower trims, while a 6-speed automatic is the alternative for front-drive versions. All-wheel-drive models offer a 9-speed automatic transmission (making the Compass the only small crossover with that many ratios). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates fuel consumption for a front-drive/manual setup at 23 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and 26 mpg in combined driving. The front-drive/automatic configuration returns 22 mpg city/31 mpg hwy/25 mpg combined. All-wheel-drive versions achieve 22 mpg city/31 mpg hwy/25 mpg combined with the manual transmission, or 22 mpg city/30 mpg hwy/25 mpg combined when using the automatic.
<p></p>
<h4>Standard Features &amp; Options:</h4> The 2017 Jeep Compass small 5-seater crossover comes in Sport, Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk trim levels. Limited and Trailhawk have all-wheel drive and the 9-speed automatic transmission as standard. The all-wheel-drive variants of Sport, Latitude and Limited come with a basic terrain response system, while the Trailhawk version has a more sophisticated version, plus low-range gearing for its transmission and a crawl mode. Options include a powered tailgate, high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps, sunroof (not eligible in Sport trim), 19-in alloy wheels (Limited trim only), rain-sensing wipers, 9-speaker Beats audio system, navigation, 8.5-in touchscreen, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, forward-collision mitigation, lane-departure warning, parking sensors and remote start. Some equipment in the Limited trim may also be ordered for lower trim levels. Cargo capacity runs to 27.2 cu ft. with the rear seats in place, or 59.8 cu ft. when they’re folded down. The front passenger seat also folds down for some extra hauling versatility. Towing capacity is 2,000 pounds when fitted with a Trailer Tow package, for which only the all-wheel-drive versions — in Latitude trim or upward — are eligible.

The <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/2017/jeep/compass/sport" target="_blank">2017 Jeep Compass Sport</a> ($21,035, when new) comes with 16-inch steel wheels, push-button start, cruise control, black door handles, heated side mirrors, air conditioning, USB port, auxiliary audio input, 6-way manually adjustable front seats, tilt/telescope steering wheel, 6-speaker audio system, 5-in touchscreen, hill-start assist, rearview camera and trailer sway control.
<p></p>
The <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/2017/jeep/compass/latitude" target="_blank">2017 Jeep Compass Latitude</a> ($25,435, when new) brings 17-in alloy wheels, body color door handles, automatic headlamps, fog lamps, roof rails, ambient LED cabin lighting, leather-wrapped steering wheel and cloth/simulated leather upholstery. There’s no front-drive/manual transmission version of this trim level.
<p></p>
The <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/2017/jeep/compass/trailhawk" target="_blank">2017 Jeep Compass Trailhawk</a> ($29,690, when new) has a more off-road-appropriate suspension with greater travel, higher ride height, dedicated front and rear fascia, hill descent control, 17-in alloy wheels, skid plates (to protect the undersides of various components), tow hooks (two at the front, one at the back) and all-season on/off-road tires, dual-zone automatic climate control, 115-volt power outlet, satellite radio and an 8.5-in touchscreen.
<p></p>
The <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/2017/jeep/compass/limited" target="_blank">2017 Jeep Compass Limited</a> ($30,090, when new) is back to the more usual road-going setup, adding 18-in alloy wheels, self-dimming rearview mirror, leather upholstery, heated front seats, 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and a heated steering wheel.
<p></p>
<h4>Safety:</h4> Standard safety features anti-lock disc brakes, traction/stability control with rollover protection and seven airbags (including one for the driver’s knees). More money must be spent to have things such as a rearview camera and forward-collision mitigation.
<p></p>
<h4>Behind the Wheel:</h4> The engine’s output of 180 hp could be described as “modest.” The whole experience is pleasant and fairly hushed, rather than thrilling or cosseting. But that’s still a big improvement over the old Compass and should work for most potential buyers. And it has that all-important elevated driving position. Thanks to the Jeep approach, where every vehicle that bears its name should go at least some way into the wild, the Compass — in its most extreme Trailhawk form — enjoys ground clearance of 8.5 inches, an approach angle of 30.3 degrees, a breakover angle of 24.4 degrees and a departure angle of 33.6 degrees. These are pretty good figures for something that still works well on the street.
