Jeep has more than 75 years of storied heritage, a slew of capable off-roaders employed on battlefields and backroads alike, and has spent recent decades perfecting its on-road readiness and dependable security features. The versatile Jeep Compass was recently redesigned and this 2019 manifestation is certainly a grand sight to behold, nevermind drive! The front-wheel drive Latitude model can get an incredible 22/31 city/highway, the Trailhawk model has a 20:1 crawl ratio, and the qualified models in between offer tons of items popular to buyers, such as a Beats audio system, heated power seats, and shiny chrome exhaust tips! There are a few new things to consider as well for 2019, like the "Sting Grey" exterior color, the newly-standard 7" Uconnect touchscreen (Sport & Latitude models), a Premium Lighting Group, an original finish on the 17" wheel options, and Adaptive Cruise Control inserts itself into the Advanced Safety Group Package.

2019 Jeep Compass

Would you discuss the powertrain possibilities for the Compass in 2019?

The Trailhawk is always all-wheel drive, but the remaining models are standard as front-wheel drive yet allow AWD to be installed. Under the hood rumbles a standard MultiAir2 Tigershark 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that forces out 180-horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque. The 2019 Compass 4x4 has standardized Drive modes as well: Auto, Snow, Sand, and Mud. Directing all of this power within the 2019 Compass will be either a 6-speed automatic (4x2) or a 9-speed automatic (4x4). Naturally, there is, in addition, a 6-speed manual transmission that's possible to get for the Sport & Latitude models (any drive configuration) that the more hands-on drivers among us will relish. The Compass can tow, when properly equipped, up to 2,000-pounds! To that end, look into the Trailer-Tow Group, which adds a Class III Receiver-Hitch, 4-pin wiring harness, and a full-size spare tire!

With all this power, are there any safety features?

Jeep did not skimp in safety and security and it shows in the 2019 Compass. Besides the strong capability of the off-roading features, designed with keeping you safe at every moment, there are modern safety features that you would expect of any vehicle made these days. There are over 70 standard safety and security apparatuses bolstering the 2019 Jeep Compass, such as LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, seven standard airbags, a ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera, Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection, the ParkSense Rear Park Assist System and even an available Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking. Moreover, advanced high-strength steel construction for the vehicle's skeleton is there for a solid base of protection and durability on and off the roads. Essential tried-and-true features are found standard too, like Electronic Stability Control, 4-wheel ABS, the LATCH system for kid seats, and a Tire Pressure Monitoring Display.

Will you overview the features for each model?

The 2019 Compass has four models at its nucleus identified as the Sport, Limited, Latitude, and Trailhawk, and dual special editions as model satellites: The Altitude and the Upland models. The Upland model is recognizable with its 17"-wheels, Trailhawk-style fascia, silver anodized cabin details, and Matte Black tow hooks. A Gloss Black roof achieves the look on top, paired with a shiny chrome exhaust tip out back and a suspension skid plate up front. The High Altitude model also has the Gloss Black roof, yet continues with items like high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps coupled with unmistakable LED lights, 19" Satin Gloss Granite wheels, the Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen with navigation, tungsten cabin stitching, LED tail-lamps, anodized gunmetal interior finishes, Satin Gloss Granite grille surrounds, and even deep-tint glass for privacy. Back to the core lineup, the Sport model, certainly is admirable with its standard details like Uconnect with a 7" infotainment system, 16" wheels, a port for a USB, air conditioning, a 6-speaker sound system, and Bluetooth. The Limited model strengthens the Compass in the user-friendly items like 8-way leather-lined & power adjustable seats, a heated steering wheel, the potential to get heated power exterior mirrors with built-in blinkers, and 18" wheels. The 2019 Jeep Latitude model has a leather-lined steering wheel, a driver informational display, auto dual-zone climate control, newly-extended wheel widths, a power driver seat, and keyless ignition/entry. Apple CarPlay & Android Auto apps can make their way into the 8.4" Uconnect touchscreen within the Latitude as well. Look to individual models for the availability of stand-alone articles like a Beats audio system, a power liftgate, blended navigation, and a moonroof. There are different Packages to consider as well, like the Cold Weather Group, a Graphics Package for the roof & hood, the Sport Appearance Plus Package, and the Technology Group. The Trailhawk model is outlined in the last paragraph of this article, due to its amazing set of features.

Final Thoughts on the 2019 Jeep Compass

Let's take a minute to indulge ourselves in the wildly-outfitted Trailhawk model. The skid-plated Trailhawk goes with 17-inch wheels that are sheathed in off-roading tires. It has a raised suspension, Jeep signature red front & rear tow hooks, and a matte-black hood. The dauntless Selec-Terrain system is within any 4x4 Compass, but of course, the Trailhawk has to one-up its brethren by adding a "Rock" mode for best articulation on trail boulders. The more room a wheel has to go up & down, the more traction it can find and sustain after all! Also in the Trailhawk is the Jeep Active Drive Low 4x4 System, which incorporates a low range, a 20:1 crawl ratio, a rear axle disconnect that seamlessly changes between 2- and 4WD, as well as a Hill Descent Control feature. The increased ride height of nearly an inch is appreciated on the trails, as are Hill-descent Control, not to mention the hardiness to get through up to 19-inches of water, which is truly astounding! On that last point, we know you want to join the Jeep fanbase for the Compass, come on into Star CDJR of Abilene and we will work with you to make that happen!
