The 2013 Jeep Compass is part of the model's first generation, a compact crossover with rugged design elements reminiscent of its big brother, the Grand Cherokee. Buyers can choose between two engines, a base 2.0L producing 158 horsepower and a 2.4L with 172 horsepower. Transmission choices include a five-speed manual and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The Compass offers two four-wheel-drive (4WD) systems alongside the standard front-wheel drive (FWD) - the Freedom-Drive 1 and the Freedom-Drive 2 Off-Road Package. It comes in three trims: Sport, Latitude, and Limited, all featuring standard safety essentials such as stability control with roll mitigation, front-seat side airbags, and side-curtain airbags. While the infotainment system is not its most flashy feature, features like heated seats and satellite radio are available.
