Jeep Compass questions

Does every 2026 Compass have four-wheel drive?

Yes. Four-wheel drive comes standard on all six Compass trims. Latitude, Latitude Altitude, 85th Anniversary Edition, Limited and Limited Altitude use Active Drive with rear-axle disconnect. Trailhawk uses Active Drive Low with low range, adds Rock mode, and includes Hill Descent Control and off-road suspension.

Can a Compass Latitude use the Trailhawk tow rating?

No. The maximum of 2,000 pounds applies to a properly equipped Trailhawk with the available Trailer-Tow Group. That package is offered on Trailhawk. Latitude and the other Compass trims do not inherit the rating from it. Towing limits apply to the loaded trailer and the equipment on that vehicle.

What is standard Compass fuel economy?

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.

Does the Compass offer a head-up display?

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.

Which Compass trim adds Rock mode?

Trailhawk adds Rock mode alongside Auto, Snow and Sand/Mud in its Selec-Terrain system. It has Active Drive Low with low-range gearing, a 20:1 crawl ratio, Hill Descent Control and off-road suspension. Four skid plates and red recovery hooks are also part of the Trailhawk hardware.

What phone integration comes with Compass Uconnect 5?

Compass includes wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto compatibility for supported phones. Uconnect 5 uses an 8.4-inch touchscreen in Latitude and a 10.1-inch screen in the other listed trims. The phone connections bring supported apps and media functions to the center screen; equipment such as navigation varies by package.

How is Compass oil-change timing determined?

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.
