The Compass EPA estimates are 23 mpg city, 31 mpg highway and 26 mpg combined. All trims use the 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder with Stop/Start, an eight-speed automatic and four-wheel drive. The engine runs on regular 87-octane gasoline, with a 13.5-gallon fuel tank.
No. Compass does not offer a head-up display. Driver information appears in the instrument cluster, with a 10.25-inch all-digital display standard on Limited and Limited Altitude. Other equipment includes a 7-inch color driver information display. The center Uconnect 5 touchscreen is a different display for infotainment and phone functions.

The phone connections bring supported apps and media functions to the center screen; equipment such as navigation varies by package.
The oil-change indicator calls for Compass oil service according to use. Filters and inspection items have their own schedule: the cabin air filter is replaced every 12,000 miles, the engine air cleaner filter every 30,000 miles, and spark plugs at 60,000 and 120,000 miles. Tire condition is checked during oil service.
