Recently, the little compass has been trying to make a comeback. It got a more attractive interior and then got a crucial power boost to help it be more competitive. See what it has to offer against rivals.
How much horsepower does the 2023 Jeep Compass have?
The 2023 has a new turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine that puts out 200hp and 221Nm of torque. This unit replaces the older 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine with 180PS and 175Nm of torque.
Pricing starts at $29,995, and the top-of-the-line Compass Trailhawk model bumps the price up to $35,745. These are the MSRPs and do not include the $1,595 destination tax or dealership markups.
The 2023 Toyota RAV4 starts at $27,975 and the 2023 Honda CR-V starts at around $31,610, while the Subaru Crosstrek comes in at $29,215. Hence, it falls in the middle of the price range. However, the standard AWD ad and improved performance give it an edge.
Plus, it comes with tons of value. The 2023 Compass Sport has 17-inch wheels, LED headlights, roof rails, heated mirrors, a 10.1-inch infotainment screen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, USB ports in each row and an adjustable cargo floor.
Upgrading trim levels gives you access to heated/ventilated seats, a power liftgate, a 360-degree camera, parking sensors, a wireless charging pad, premium leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, keyless ignition, and a sunroof panoramic.
Is the 2023 Compass Trailhawk good for off-roading?
Yes, the Trailhawk has above average off-road capabilities. The new engine will help it climb over and over obstacles with less risk of overheating or straining.
Suspension lift gives it approximately 8.07 inches of ground clearance and it rides on 17-inch wheels wrapped in beefy off-road tires. It is equipped with tow hooks and underbody protective skidplates with hill descent control.
Additionally, the Selec-Terrain system offers modes for snow, sand/mud, rock and low-speed gears. It has a scan ratio of 20:1.
The Compass has an upgraded interior with an exciting new engine that should make it sportier and improve its capabilities. We can’t wait to get behind the wheel.
