Used Jeep Compass: A Step in the Right Direction | CommunityCars.com Blog
The used Jeep Compass provides a great value for smart auto consumers looking for a solid SUV that also offers a little extra fun with off-roading capability. Combining the comfort of a larger Cherokee and the affordability of a Renegade, the Compass is the just-right medium-sized SUV many buyers are looking for.
Now available at Bloomington Jeep dealerships and Jeep dealers around the country, the used Jeep Compass is little-changed from the 2017 model. The 2017 Jeep Compass was a major redesign that kicked off a new generation of Jeep Compass vehicles, and that redesign breathed some much-needed life into the Compass brand.
The new generation of Compass vehicles has a modernized exterior design that retains the distinctive Jeep look. Jeep also upgraded tech features for the new generation of Compass autos and made them more comfortable. The end result is an exceptional automobile that’s a joy to drive.
Performance
The Compass is equipped with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that cranks out 180 horsepower. The vehicle handles fairly well on pavement, but the off-road is where the Compass stands tall—especially the Trailhawk edition.
The Compass is fairly fuel-efficient, getting 23 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway.
Interior & Tech
The new Jeep Compass is a five-seater, and its cabin offers generous head and leg room. The Compass has a very well-appointed interior, with materials that match the quality of its larger and swankier sibling, the Cherokee.
Seating is comfortable and child safety seat anchors are easy to find. The cargo area offers 27.2 cubic feet of space, but a flat-folding rear seat and the front passenger seat can vastly increase space for hauling. Cubbies and small storage areas also abound in the Compass.
The Compass offers a standard 5-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, and two USB ports. You can also upgrade to an 8.4-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and other great features. The Jeep Compass offers the Uconnect infotainment interface—an extremely user-friendly system.
Pricing
The new Jeep Compass is a very affordable SUV. You can get a base model for just $20,995, and a fully-loaded Compass costs around $28,695. A four-wheel drive upgrade on the lower trim levels costs just $1,500.
Trim Levels
The new Compass is available in four trim levels—Sport, Latitude, Limited, and Trailhawk. The Trailhawk is best suited for off-roading, with 17-inch wheels, an elevated suspension, a front fascia designed for the rough and tumble of challenging terrain, and the Selec-Terrain system.
The Compass is a great vehicle for folks who want enough room for a small family and the capacity to have a little fun on the trail with a competent off-roader.
