Overview of Jeep Compass Models

The Jeep Compass lineup is thoughtfully designed to cater to a broad spectrum of drivers across locations like Jackson, Tecumseh, and Adrian. All models feature the reliable 2.0-liter turbocharged engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, providing a consistent 200 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. Whether you’re cruising through Clinton or exploring the trails near Britton, the Compass combines efficient power with Jeep’s celebrated 4x4 capability.

The primary differences between the trims revolve around their feature sets, technology, comfort levels, and off-road readiness. The base Sport model offers a strong foundation with essential safety technologies such as Forward Collision Warning and Blind Spot Monitoring, alongside an 8.4-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Stepping up, the Latitude adds conveniences like keyless entry, fog lamps, a heated steering wheel, and premium cloth/vinyl seats, perfect for those balancing city driving with occasional outdoor excursions.

For drivers seeking enhanced off-road prowess, the Trailhawk trim is purpose-built with Jeep Active Drive Low 4x4, all-terrain tires, skid plates, and an off-road-tuned suspension. This makes it an ideal companion for Michigan’s rugged backroads near Clarklake or weekend adventures in Cement City.

At the top of the spectrum, the Limited trim amplifies luxury with heated leatherette seats, an 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheel package, and advanced driver aids such as Adaptive Cruise Control and ParkSense Rear Park Assist. The Limited model’s two-tone paint options and black roof finish make it a standout on streets from Saline to Tipton.
