Surprising Strength in a Compact Package
Don't let the size fool you—the Jeep Compass brings real muscle to the table. Powered by a 2.0L turbocharged inline-four engine, the Compass delivers an impressive 200 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth and responsive driving. This setup gives it more power than many of its compact SUV rivals, making it a great pick if you want utility without going full-size. When properly equipped, the Compass can tow up to 2,000 pounds—ideal for a small utility trailer, a couple of dirt bikes, or even a lightweight camper. It's that rare combination of compact efficiency and useful strength, built for drivers who like to do more with their vehicle.
What Can You Tow with the Jeep Compass?
This is one of the most common questions we get—and the answer might surprise you. With a 2,000-pound max towing capacity and up to 1,000 pounds of payload capability, the Compass is a reliable partner for light-duty hauling. It's perfect for pulling a single-axle trailer loaded with mulch or lumber, or towing a pair of kayaks to the lake for the weekend. Plus, with trailer sway control built into the electronic stability system, you'll feel more confident on the highway. Jeep even offers factory towing accessories, so you can get everything you need right from the start. It's more than just a city SUV—it's your weekend gear hauler, too.
Confidence on Every Road With the Compass
Beyond towing, the Compass is engineered to handle real-world driving conditions with ease. With available Jeep Active Drive and Active Drive Low 4x4 systems, you'll have enhanced traction whether you're driving in rain, snow, or loose gravel. It also comes with Hill Descent Control for added control on steep slopes, as well as up to 8.6 inches of ground clearance on Trailhawk models. The Selec-Terrain Traction Management System lets you easily switch between Auto, Snow, Sand/Mud, and Rock modes, helping you adapt to whatever Central Texas roads—or trails—throw your way. For a compact SUV, the Compass packs a surprising amount of capability.
Everyday Power That Doesn't Quit
Even when you're not towing or heading off-road, the Compass's powertrain makes daily driving enjoyable. Its 2.0L turbo engine doesn't just offer power—it also brings solid efficiency, with EPA-estimated fuel economy reaching up to 24 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway. The stop-start engine system helps maximize fuel savings without sacrificing performance. Whether you're making the daily commute from Midland or heading out for a road trip beyond Big Spring, the Compass gives you confident acceleration, tight handling, and a comfortable ride. It's an SUV that's just as ready for errands as it is for escape.
