The 2023 Jeep Compass premieres a new engine and, of course, and illustrious, standard four-wheel drive (4×4) for every trim. Pop the hood, and underneath the new SUV is a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine paired with 8-speed automatic transmission. The four-cylinder engine yields 200 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, which makes for a more reactive Compass than the 2022 model.
The new Compass features Engine Stop-Start (ESS) technology. In addition, the new powertrain renders lower emissions and a quicker response time when jolting from 0 to 60 mph—the Compass’s peppery step results from the engine being mounted to the cylinder head. Furthermore, thanks to the turbo engine’s twin-scroll, low inertia turbocharger, which includes an electric actuated wastegate, the Jeep SUV offers unprecedented performance on and off the road.
The 8-speed automatic transmission delivers a peppery response infused with fiery acceleration and silky-smooth shifting. The Compass took a different approach this year because the automatic transmission needed the exact requirements essential to the Trailhawk trim. Therefore, the Trail Rated 4×4 rock-crawl ratio is enabled through a 4.71.1 first gear paired with a 4.398 final drive. Further, the tandem delivers its 20:1 class-leading crawl ratio.
Regarding fuel economy, the 2023 Jeep Compass comes equipped with the new turbo 2.0-liter 8-speed automatic with the 4×4 powertrain that offers 24 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined. That’s an increase of 2 mpg for the city, highway, and combined compared to the 2022 model. The 2022 Jeep Compass received support from the naturally-aspirated 2.4-liter Tigershank inline-four-cylinder coupled with the 9-speed automatic transmission.
