2027 Jeep Compass Specs South Jersey

The 2027 Jeep Compass specs for South Jersey center on one turbo engine and two 4×4 systems. The body and cabin measurements tell you how much space it needs in a driveway and how much it gives you behind the liftgate.

Engine and powertrain specifications

Turbo torque comes in well below peak horsepower. The eight-speed automatic is paired with the same engine in all five trims. Trailhawk’s lower-speed gearing and Rock mode change how that power reaches the ground on uneven surfaces.

Exterior dimensions in South Jersey

The 6.2-inch difference between body and open-mirror width matters at a garage entrance. Clearance changes with the trim, so the Latitude Altitude measurement and Trailhawk measurement each have their own place. Curb weight describes the vehicle itself; GVWR is the maximum loaded vehicle weight for the specified trim.

Interior dimensions and cargo space

The cabin dimensions above are for Latitude Altitude. The front measurement changes with the sunroof, an important distinction for a taller driver in Lumberton. The rear bench uses a 60/40 split so a longer load can occupy part of the second row.

Cargo volume describes the whole space. The narrower measurement between the wheelhouses is the useful figure for a wide box that has to sit flat. Keeping the second row up leaves the behind-seat volume for groceries and bags on a trip from Cherry Hill.

Wheels, tires and brakes

Compass has four-wheel antilock brakes, with 12.0-inch vented front rotors and 10.95-inch solid rear rotors. The shared 17-inch wheel diameter on Latitude and Trailhawk comes with different tires. Trailhawk’s setup is part of the model’s off-road equipment, alongside its skid plates and extra ground clearance.

Fuel economy and towing in South Jersey

The five trims use the same 2.0L engine, and the EPA ratings apply to that four-wheel-drive powertrain. The towing figures apply to the 2.0L, eight-speed automatic 4WD Compass. Both trailer and tongue weight count; the maximum trailer figure is for a loaded trailer. That scope matters when shopping for a small trailer to take to a ramp near Toms River. On a separate highway trip along I-295, the 29 mpg highway figure is the relevant factory rating.

Key features by trim

Latitude pairs an 8.4-inch touchscreen with a 7-inch instrument display. The other trims have the 10.1-inch center screen. Limited, Trailhawk and Limited Altitude pair it with a 10.25-inch instrument display and wireless charging. The trim equipment guide lists the seat materials and cabin equipment that go with each screen.

Safety and driver assistance

Adaptive cruise with stop and go, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-path detection and a rearview camera are standard. Active lane management assists with lane position, and forward collision warning includes pedestrian and cyclist braking. Drivers remain responsible for steering, braking and paying attention to the road.

Warranty coverage

Jeep’s basic limited warranty runs three years or 36,000 miles. The powertrain limited warranty runs five years or 60,000 miles. Both limits use whichever comes first. The maintenance schedule separates routine oil and inspection work from warranty coverage.

The measurements in practice

A Burlington driver who takes Route 541 to Lumberton may also need to park in a narrow garage. A shopper from Trenton or Lakewood who fills the cargo area needs room between the wheelhouses instead. At the garage, mirror width is the useful measurement. Inside the Compass, a box can be wider at the liftgate than it can sit flat between the wheelhouses. At Lucas in Lumberton, the Compass overview connects those dimensions with the available cabin equipment.

Specs FAQs

How wide is a Compass with its mirrors open?

The Latitude Altitude is 80.0 inches wide with its mirrors open and 73.8 inches across the body without them. The 6.2-inch difference matters most at a garage opening, where mirror width is the practical measurement for getting the vehicle through.

How much rear legroom does Latitude Altitude have?

Jeep lists 38.3 inches of rear legroom for Latitude Altitude, versus 41.2 inches up front. The rear seat is a three-position bench with a split seatback. That measurement is for the rear bench with the seatbacks upright, with space for three passengers.

What is the Compass fuel tank capacity?

The Compass carries 13.5 gallons and uses regular 87-octane unleaded gasoline. The factory window labels show 24 mpg combined for the five trims. The tank size is fixed, while actual fuel use changes with traffic, load, temperature and driving conditions.

What tire size comes on Compass Trailhawk?

Trailhawk comes with 215/65R17 all-terrain tires on its 17-inch wheels. Latitude also has a 17-inch wheel, but uses 225/60R17 tires. Trailhawk’s tire is narrower and has a taller sidewall than the original Latitude tire. The two trim choices share a wheel diameter but use different tires.

How much ground clearance does Trailhawk have?

The Trailhawk specification is 8.6 inches, compared with 8.1 inches for Latitude Altitude. Trailhawk also adds skid plates, Active Drive Low and Rock mode. The extra clearance gives it more room underneath on uneven ground, while the other hardware serves separate traction and protection needs.
