The 2007 Jeep Compass represents the first generation of this compact SUV, which provides a comfortable ride and good fuel economy for its class. It is equipped with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 172 horsepower, paired with either a five-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Front-wheel drive is standard, with Jeep's 'Freedom Drive I' full-time four-wheel-drive system available as an option. The Compass is available in two trim levels: the base Compass Sport and the upscale Compass Limited. Key safety features include front-seat side airbags, full-length curtain-type airbags, electronic stability control, and anti-lock brakes. However, the Compass lacks the off-road capability that characterizes other vehicles in the Jeep lineup.
