2019 Jeep Compass Somerville NJ

What powertrains are available for the Compass?

The Compass is standard as front-wheel drive with the choice for AWD, besides the AWD-only Trailhawk. Note the amazing MultiAir2 Tigershark 2.4-liter 4-cylinder under the hood that powers up to 180-horsepower and spins 175 pound-feet of torque. Transmissions that buyers should look at are a 9-speed automatic (on the 4x4), a 6-speed automatic (on the 4x2), and a 6-speed manual transmission (Sport & Latitude models). This vehicle easily can tow up to 2,000-lbs on backroads and up inclines, which is no small feat! The Trailer-Tow Group is available and arrives with a Class III Receiver-Hitch, a full spare tire, and a 4-pin wiring harness to make towing tasks go smoother. The four-by-four 2019 Compass has standard Drive Modes to supplement even the best of drivers with Auto, Sand, Snow, and Mud modes. The Trailhawk adds a capable Rock Mode to that list, by design!

How many core models are there, and what are their features?

The 2019 Compass has four primary models: the Latitude, Sport, Trailhawk, and Limited. The 2019 Jeep Latitude model escorts elements such as a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a driver informational display, auto 2-zone climate control, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto apps (for 8.4" Uconnect system), larger wheel diameters, a power driver seat, and the always welcome keyless ignition/entry. The Sport model carries in the Uconnect system too, a USB port, 16-inch wheels, a 7" infotainment system, air conditioning, 6-speakers, and Bluetooth. The Trailhawk model yields a raised suspension as well as 17-inch wheels sporting off-roading tires. Ruby Red tow hooks manifest themselves on the front & rear, it has Uconnect 4 with 8.4" touchscreen, and it is possible to get with sophisticated leather-trimmed seats (with Ruby Red stitching to match). Further, in the Trailhawk buyers will find the Jeep Active Drive Low 4x4 System, which incorporates a 20:1 crawl ratio, a rear axle disconnect that alternates between 2- and 4-WD, as well as an incredibly low range. 19-inches high of water is not a problem for the Trailhawk with the extra ride height of approximately an inch, not to mention a glare-reducing Matte Black hood, and Hill-descent Control. The Limited model comprises highlights like 18-inch wheels, 8-way leather-lined & power-changeable chairs, a heated steering wheel, and heated power exterior mirrors with built-in blinkers. Look for standalone items on the Compass too like polished chrome exhaust tips, a power liftgate, a Beats sound system, a moonroof, and trusty navigation functionality.

Are there any special editions?

There are also 3 special editions with the subsequent titles: the High Altitude, Upland, and Altitude. The High Altitude model fosters a cool Gloss Black roof, high-intensity discharge headlights blended with LEDs, has 19" Satin Gloss Granite wheels, Navigation within the Uconnect 8.4" touchscreen, anodized gunmetal interior finishes, tungsten cabin stitching, and also darkly-tinted glass. The Upland model returns accommodations such as a front suspension skid plate, 17" polished aluminum wheels with gloss black pockets, silver anodized interior pieces, a Trailhawk-style front fascia, and tough-looking tow hooks in Matte Black. The Altitude model has a two-tone gloss black roof as standard but allows for a Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof too, then further establishes its look with a black color to both its 18-inch aluminum wheels and on the outside badging.
