Segment-leading Capability
The 2013 Jeep Compass offers customers Best-in-Class 4x4 off-road capability with Jeep Freedom Drive II® and is the most fuel efficient 4x4 SUV in Canada.

Jeep Compass is available in three drivetrain configurations. In addition to the standard front-wheel-drive system, it is also available with Freedom Drive I® and the Freedom Drive II® Off-Road Group. 

Jeep Freedom Drive I is an available full-time, active four-wheel-drive system with lock mode, designed to give drivers year-round assurance with the ability to handle rough weather and low-traction conditions. This active four-wheel-drive system is recommended for daily use, including slick conditions that come with rain and light snow. Freedom Drive I also features a lockable centre coupling, giving drivers the ability to put the Jeep Compass in four-wheel-drive lock mode to handle deep snow, sand and other low-traction surfaces. 

The Jeep® Freedom Drive II Off-Road Group is an available four-wheel-drive system that delivers Jeep Trail Rated® capability for those seeking a true off-road adventure. The Freedom Drive II Off-Road Group includes a second-generation continuously variable transaxle with low range (CVT2) that engages when the off-road mode is activated, 17-inch all-terrain tires, one-inch raised ride height, full-size spare tire, skid plates, tow hooks, and manual seat height adjuster. The available Freedom Drive II Off-Road Group is recommended for moderate off-road situations that include steep grades, occasional wheel lift and rock or log climbing. 

The 2013 Jeep Compass’ powertrain is designed to deliver world-class performance in all weather conditions, with exceptional fuel economy and refinement, all at an affordable, value-packed price. 

Jeep Compass features the proven 2.0-litre I-4 cylinder or 2.4-litre I-4 cylinder engines for the 2013 Jeep Compass Sport and North and the 2.4-litre I-4 cylinder engine standard on Limited models that provides 172 horsepower and 165 lb.-ft. of torque coupled with the five-speed manual transmission that delivers excellent 9.0 L/100 km (31 mpg) in the city, and 7.0 L/100 km (40 mpg) on the highway. 

This 2.4-litre I-4 cylinder engine has dual variable-valve timing (VVT) on both intake and exhaust camshafts, which helps optimize the torque curve at all speeds and produces more power, better fuel economy and smoother, quieter operation than engines without dual VVT. Dual VVT is a technology that is typically not available on vehicles sold in Canada in the Jeep Compass’ price class. 

Jeep Compass also features a standard five-speed manual transaxle on the entry-level Compass Sport model, North and Limited. A CVT is also available on every Compass model. The Compass’ CVT2 is a second-generation CVT that Chrysler Group engineers calibrated for precise ratio control. CVT2 contributes to a fuel economy improvement of 6 to 8 per cent compared with a traditional four-speed automatic. The Compass CVT2 also improves vehicle performance compared with a traditional automatic transaxle because of optimized gear ratios, especially in the 50–100 km/h range during passing maneuvers.

When properly equipped, the 2013 Jeep Compass also provides unsurpassed maximum towing up to 907 kg (2,000 lb.).
