Jeep Compass Model Highlights


Jeep Compass Pros
The car-like 2009 Jeep Compass combines the utility of a compact SUV and the maneuverability and crisp handling of a small hatchback, with some added rugged Jeep character. The Compass has better fuel-efficiency than most SUVs its size, at an EPA-rated 23 mpg city, 28 mpg highway. It also stands out for its standard safety features, including side curtain air bags and electronic stability control. Price is perhaps the strongest selling point, though; at a base price that's equal to that of many small economy cars, the Compass is an impressive alternative.

Jeep Compass Model Highlights
The 2009 Jeep Compass is powered by an economical 172-hp 2.4L 4-cylinder engine and comes with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive and in two different models-the low-priced Sport or the more luxuriously equipped Limited. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard on all models and a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which now comes with an Auto Stick function that allows the driver to have manual control over a set of ratios, is optional. The Compass offers a little more capability for rough roads and deep snow than some other crossover sport-utility SUVs; it has a ground clearance of 8.5 inches, along with a 21-degree approach angle and 32-degree departure angle-both good for negotiating steep inclines. The rear seats are split 60/40 and fold forward to expand cargo space. What's more, the front passenger seat folds forward to create a table-like surface, or expanded cargo space for long items. Also, the center armrest slides forward three inches for shorter drivers, and it includes a cell phone flip pocket. Side curtain air bags, electronic stability control and anti-lock brakes with brake assist are standard across the line. The stability control system has electronic roll mitigation, which helps avoid situations that may lead to a rollover or loss of stability and makes advance corrections. The available nine-speaker Boston Acoustics Premium Sound package comes with a subwoofer and includes two articulating speakers inside the liftgate that can be swiveled outward for entertainment during tailgate parties. Another unique option is the removable, recharging flashlight that's built into the headliner above the cargo area. The Sport comes equipped with most popular features, such as air conditioning, a rear window defroster and a four-speaker CD sound system. The luxurious Limited model adds dual folding power mirrors, tinted glass, leather seating, heated front seats, remote keyless entry, cruise control, an auxiliary power outlet, Sirius satellite radio and the rechargeable lamp system. Other major options on the Compass include chrome-clad wheels, a trailer-towing group (for a capacity of 2,000 pounds), the Boston Acoustics sound system and a new navigation system.

Jeep Compass Model News
As it turns three years old, Jeep's 2009 Compass will see changes mostly in its interior, where a new center console features a split lid for extra storage space. New door trim gets extra padding and soft-touch plastic, and the instruments now feature LED gauges. Revised air vents, illuminated cupholders and a carpeted cargo floor are now standard. A 30-gigabyte hard drive for music storage is a new option. Improved sound insulation in the floor and engine compartment, as well as a revamped exhaust resonator, should help reduce road noise. Sport models have a revised suspension for improved ride and handling. Finally, front-wheel drive Compass models equipped with the continuously variable transmission (CVT) are now certified as partial-zero emissions vehicles (PZEV).
