New 2017 Jeep Compass at Dutchess for Poughkeepsie, NY

If the Jeep's sense of style and durable nature appeal to you but the cost isn't in your price range, then the 2017 Jeep Compass may just be the happy medium you desire. Offering the same aesthetic and similar utility as other Jeep vehicles, the Compass is a more economy-friendly choice. There are plenty of choices to be made with the Compass with plenty of optional equipment and different systems to power the vehicle.

Under the Compass's Hood

There are two engines available to power the 2017 Jeep Compass. The first is the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine which is capable of generating 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque. The second is the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine which offers 172 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque. Different transmissions are available depending on trim level and engine choice. The 2.0-liter engine on the Sport comes paired with a five-speed manual transmission, while the same engine on the Latitude trim is paired with a continuously variable transmission. The 2.0-liter engine is always paired with a front-wheel-drive system regardless of trim level. The 2.4-liter engine can come with either a front-wheel-drive or an all-wheel-drive system. A six-speed automatic is the standard partner of the 2.4-liter engine, but the five-speed manual is available on the lower trim level. If the Freedom Drive II appeals more to you, you'll get a CVT with a special crawl mode. In terms of fuel economy, the Compass gets different numbers based on equipment and offers up to 24 mpg at its best. When properly equipped, the Compass tows 2,000 pounds.
