2025 Jeep Compass Specs

Jeep Compass Specs: Engine, Drivetrain, and Transmission

You can expect the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder Jeep Compass engine under the hood to produce a substantial 200 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque.

The Jeep Compass transmission is a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic, and this SUV comes with standard four-wheel drive for excellent traction and control in various conditions. Confident performance over various terrain is what the Jeep brand is known for, and the new Jeep Compass lineup is no exception.

This SUV comes with a standard Jeep Active Drive single-speed four-wheel drive system, but if you level up to the Trail-Rated Trailhawk trim, you get access to an Active Drive Low single-speed 4x4 setup. This adds an increased 20:1 crawl ratio that allows you to carefully cross over uneven ground and obstacles with more control.

Jeep Compass Towing Capacity

The 2025 Jeep Compass delivers up to 2,000 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped, giving you the freedom to bring more gear along for the ride. Whether you're hitching up a lightweight trailer for a weekend getaway or towing a couple of dirt bikes for a day out among the trails, the new Compass SUV has the strength and utility to support your lifestyle.

This compact SUV uses its turbocharged engine well, offering confident towing capability for everyday and recreational use. Popular items that the Jeep Compass may be able to tow include small fishing boats, Jet Skis, teardrop campers, and small utility trailers carrying ATVs or even work or home improvement supplies.

Inside, this SUV has spacious seating for five passengers with an overall passenger volume of 100 cubic feet. Let's take a quick look at seating and cargo area measurements:

The interior of the Jeep Compass SUV is designed with both comfort and versatility in mind. The rear seatback folds flat to make the most of its nearly 60 cubic feet of cargo space.

With split-folding rear seats, you'll always have room for bulky gear and passengers, ensuring nothing gets left behind.

On the exterior, the elevated Jeep Compass ground clearance and approach and departure angles help prepare this Jeep SUV for light trails, or even trickier off-roading encounters, with the Trailhawk trim. The compact size makes city driving and parking more convenient, but the interior dimensions still offer adult-friendly rear seating.
