2020 Jeep Compass

The 2020 Compass comes in four trim levels: Sport, Latitude, Limited, and Trailhawk. The Latitude also has the optional Altitude package, and the Limited comes with the High Altitude option. Each of these adds aesthetic accents to the exterior, as well as bigger tires for enhanced performance.

The Compass comes with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that packs 180 horsepower along with 175 lb-ft of torque. Although the engine is relatively small, it does a solid job of providing power to this vehicle. The lighter weight of the Compass makes it easy for the 180 horses to pull.

The 2020 Jeep Compass has a six-speed manual transmission on the Sport and Latitude models. Some models also offer a nine-speed automatic transmission for the AWD models. </br> All-wheel drive comes standard with the Trailhawk, which also has a lifted suspension, a more advanced traction control system, skid plates on the underbody, and larger tires. It also comes with a feature that allows it to control its descent while traveling down a hill and a first-gear hold feature, which enables gear-braking to ease the burden on your brakes.

The Compass has an interior that is designed primarily for ergonomic performance. It features a drive mode dial that is simple to use without inconveniencing the driver in the process. </br> The doors are wide, allowing passengers to enter and exit the vehicle comfortably, which is typically a concern for this class of vehicle. The driver is treated to more than enough leg- and headroom. The elevated view also allows for a good look at the road ahead. </br> The interior offers more than just utilitarian necessities, however. The gauges fit comfortably within the space created by the steering wheel for easy viewing. The vents are angled to give the driver instant comfort from the climate control system. The entertainment system is within easy reach as well, whether you opt for the screen-equipped version or not.

The 2020 Compass is jam-packed with safety features that make the Jeep safer for both the driver and those encountered on the road. The Compass has Jeep Active Drive, which adjusts the torque in order to make sure the tires firmly grips the driving surface. Active Drive can also disengage the rear wheels to help the driver save money on fuel. The Compass also has a forward collision warning system that alerts the driver of an imminent crash but also primes the brakes in order to help prevent it. This reduces the amount of time it takes the vehicle to stop once the driver applies the brakes. </br> If the driver starts to drift out of the lane, the Compass can help steer the vehicle back into the appropriate lane.
