“Jeep Compass provides consumers with a combination of fuel economy, safety, value – and, of course, Jeep capability – in the important compact-SUV segment,” said Mike Manley, President and CEO — Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC.  “For the 2014 model year, Jeep Compass buyers will enjoy their driving experience even more, courtesy of an all-new six-speed transmission and a refined interior and exterior design.” 

Delivering the packaging and interior flexibility of an SUV with the performance, handling, fuel economy and price of a compact car, the 2014 Jeep Compass also boasts more than 30 available safety and security features, including standard front-seat-mounted side air bags, side-curtain air bags for all rows, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Electronic Roll Mitigation, Hill-start Assist (with manual transmission), four-wheel anti-lock brakes, LATCH child seat anchors and available ParkView® Rear Backup Camera. 

The Jeep Compass offers an array of clever features consumers will appreciate whether commuting to work, driving in challenging weather conditions, or exploring new trails or out-of-the-way places.  Uconnect™4.3 multimedia centre with 6.5-inch touchscreen and iPod® interface, SiriusXM Radio, navigation, power sunroof, a premium audio system with nine Boston Acoustic® speakers, illuminated cup holders, two liftgate speakers and fold-flat rear recline seats are some of the available features that make the Jeep Compass the perfect compact SUV, enabling consumers to enjoy any adventure.

The 2014 Jeep Compass is packed with standard features that provide value and convenience for drivers and passengers. These include: 16-inch aluminum wheels, fog lamps, cruise control, illuminated cup holders, a removable/rechargeable light, outside temperature display, ESC, front driver and passenger active head restraints, Electronic Roll Mitigation, Hill-start Assist, front-seat-mounted side air bags, anti-lock disc brakes, and 60/40 fold-flat rear seat.

6F24 six-speed PowerTech automatic transmission
Available for the first time in Jeep Compass models is the world-class 6F24 six-speed automatic transmission. Independently developed by PowerTech and refined for application to the 2014 Jeep Compass, the six-speed automatic is fully electronic, designed for fuel efficiency and improved performance.

The six-speed automatic features a closely aligned 5.46 gear spread that provides nearly imperceptible shifting from launch through highway speeds. With a 4.21 first gear and standard Auto/Stick™ for manual-like shifting, acceleration characteristics deliver fun-to-drive excitement.  

With a 0.77 sixth gear, engine rpm is significantly reduced at highway speeds for optimal fuel efficiency. The stepped shift schedule across all six gears is designed for optimal fuel economy in city driving as well. Customers will notice extremely quiet operation throughout the gear ranges with the use of noise-resistant gears that effectively reduce noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).

The final drive ratio when mated to the 2.0-litre I-4 engine is 3.648. When mated to the 2.4-litre I-4 engine both the 4x2 and 4x4 versions will have a final drive ratio of 3.367.

The new six-speed transmission also helps reduce maintenance costs and the cost of ownership with its fill-for-life design. There is no transmission dipstick and transmission filter or fluid changes are not required under normal driving conditions. Low-viscosity fluid is used to improve fuel economy by enabling quicker operating temperatures on the transmission to reduce drag on internal components.

Design
The exterior of the 2014 Jeep Compass has been refined with specific updates that move the design forward. At the front of the Jeep Compass North and Limited models the grille has been enhanced with a plated upper grille trim and mould-in-colour Billet Silver grille texture. The halogen headlamps now have a black inner bezel on the Sport and North models, and the Limited models have projector halogen headlamps with a black inner bezel and chrome fog lamp bezels. The Jeep Compass also features painted mirror caps, taillamps with a new “smoked” inner bezel, a plated chrome insert on the tailgate trim applique, new available 18-inch aluminum wheels on Limited models, and a new plated chrome insert with a recessed “Jeep” badge on the tailgate trim applique for models equipped with the available Rear Backup Camera.

For the 2014 model year, the Jeep Compass interior has been tastefully upgraded with accents and trim that customers will appreciate. Upgraded features include a new interior trim option in the Jeep Compass Limited model: Saddle Brown perforated leather-faced seating with accent stitching. The North model includes a new sport mesh and vinyl seat with light grey accent stitching, and the Light Pebble Beige trim features a new Tangerine accent stitch on the seats. In addition, the armrests and centre console lid are now wrapped in vinyl and the instrument cluster overlay graphics have been updated. New satin chrome finish adorns the centre bezel, shifter bezel and pull cups, and a new bin applique with badge round out the interior design upgrades.

Segment-leading capability
The 2014 Jeep Compass offers customers unsurpassed Jeep 4x4 off-road capability with Jeep Freedom Drive II®.

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

Jeep Freedom Drive I® 4x4 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® 4x4 Off-road Package is an available four-wheel-drive system that delivers Jeep Trail Rated® capability in Jeep Compass form. The Freedom Drive II® Off-road Package 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 and aluminum wheels, a 25 mm (one-inch) raised ride height, a full-size spare tire, skid plates, tow hooks, fog lamps and manual seat height adjuster. The available Freedom Drive II® Off-road Package is recommended for off-road situations that include steep grades, occasional wheel lift and rock or log climbing. 

The 2014 Jeep Compass’ powertrain options are designed to deliver world-class performance in all weather conditions, fuel economy and refinement, all at an affordable, value-packed price. 

The 2014 Jeep Compass features a standard 2.0-litre World Gas Engine for the Sport and North models that provides 158 horsepower (hp) and 141 lb .-ft. of torque coupled with the standard five-speed manual transmission or the available new 6F24 six-speed automatic transmission, and delivers fuel economy of up to 6.6 L/100 km1 on the highway when mated to the five-speed manual transmission on 4x2 models.

This 2.4-litre World 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 typically not available on vehicles sold in Canada in the Jeep Compass’ price class. The Jeep Compass’ 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed manual transaxle in front-wheel drive configuration delivers 9.0 L/100 km (31 mpg) in the city and 7.0 L/100 km (40 mpg) on the highway1.
