Why Buy a 2023 Jeep Compass

Previous Jeep Compass generations employed a naturally-aspirated 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine for 177 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque. However, Jeep introduced a turbocharged 2.0L I-4 engine for the 2023 Compass. The forced air induction from the turbocharger bumps the horsepower up to 200 and the torque up to 210 lb-ft. Meanwhile, the smaller displacement of the engine maximizes fuel efficiency. The twin-scroll, low-inertia turbocharger also provides the engine with faster torque response for greater acceleration and better performance both on and off the road. Speaking of all-terrain capability, the 2023 Compass comes standard with the impressive Active Drive 4x4 system. Active Drive employs a power transfer unit and an electronic disconnecting rear axle to maximize efficiency and enhance capability. When on dry, smooth roads, the Active Drive system operates in front-wheel drive. However, when inclement weather and road conditions are detected, the system will engage the rear wheels and split power between both axles to maximize traction. The Compass Trailhawk exclusively offers Active Drive Low, which adds a two-speed transfer case for a 4-Lo mode to provide better low-end torque for optimal off-road crawling control.

The 2023 Jeep Compass is the most technologically advanced version of the Compass so far. Its advanced technology begins at the top of the center stack, where you'll find a crisp 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen as standard equipment, making it the largest standard touchscreen in the compact SUV segment. The touchscreen runs the award-winning Uconnect 5 infotainment software. Uconnect 5 offers a wide range of the latest in-vehicle technologies. The cordless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto feature keeps you connected, allowing you to sync your phone to the car without cluttering the cabin with a cord. The Uconnect system also offers Amazon Alexa virtual assistant with home-to-car functions. This allows you to lock, unlock, and start your vehicle using your in-home Alexa device while also operating as an in-car virtual assistant to continue a list, play music, and more. Other impressive features of Uconnect 5 include a 4G LTE WiFi hotspot to connect up to eight devices in a 50-foot radius, available TomTom navigation with live traffic updates, and more. 

The Compass' advanced technologies continue into the safety features. The active lane management system uses sensors to monitor your position in the lane and alert you with audio and visual warnings when you begin to drift. If you do not take corrective action, the system will gently guide the vehicle back to the center of the lane. The full-speed forward collision mitigation system with active brake assist will alert you to an imminent frontal collision and apply the brakes if preventative measures are not taken in time. The blindspot monitoring system alerts you to vehicles in your blindspot with audio warnings and a light on the side mirror. This system also includes a rear cross-traffic warning to alert you to vehicles crossing behind you while the gear knob is in reverse. Newly standard for 2023 is drowsy driver detection, which works by sensing changes in lane position, fluctuating speed, and other actions caused by tired drivers. When enough of these actions are detected, the Compass will alert the driver and suggest taking a break. Higher Compass trim levels add safety features like adaptive cruise control with stop and go, traffic sign recognition, a 360-degree surround-view camera, front and rear parking sensors, and parallel/perpendicular park assist.
