This SUV crossover here at Braden Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram has unmatched functionality and cutting-edge design without sacrificing visual flair. Four-cylinder engine powers every Jeep Compass, and the base manual and the optional nine-speed automatic transmissions are slow. All front-wheel-drive models come equipped with a 6-speed automatic gearbox. You can pick from various modes tailored explicitly to certain surfaces if you opt for all-wheel drive.
The SUV may send power to whatever wheel it wants when in fully automatic mode. Other snow, sand, and mud options may be tweaked to improve wheel slippage and traction. Adding a higher ground clearance and driver-selectable crawl ratio gives you the power to explore rough terrains in Gallipolis, OH easily.
All Trailhawk models come equipped with a low "crawler" gear ratio, and the Jeep Compass' Rock mode maintains it in first gear while transferring power to the maximum traction wheels. Despite its large size and boxy shape, the Jeep Compass' steering wheel is nicely balanced, allowing for surprising maneuverability. The Jeep Compass seems in command, steady, and capable even when negotiating sharp corners.
