Building on the impressive redesign from the inside out for the 2022 model year, the 2023 Jeep Compass is getting a boost of performance with the introduction of a fun-to-drive, turbocharged powertrain.
The 2023 Compass is newly equipped with a standard 200-horsepower 2.0-liter engine that delivers exceptional responsiveness and enhanced drivability. The full lineup of Jeep Compass 4×4 models deliver even more legendary off-road capability plus an exciting amount of advanced safety and security features.
“We’ve received tremendous customer feedback on the Jeep Compass’ new interior and all the high-tech features, and now we have the opportunity to showcase the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine standard on all Compass models for the 2023 model year,” said Jim Morrison, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand North America. “I can’t wait for customers to take it for a spin, because not only is it more powerful, it’s also really fun to drive.”
Available in five different 4×4 trim configurations: Sport, Latitude, Latitude LUX, Limited and the rugged Trail Rated Trailhawk, the 2023 Jeep Compass is available now for order and scheduled to start arriving in North American Jeep showrooms in first quarter 2023.

Jeep Active Drive
Newly standard on all Jeep Compass trims and enabled by an innovative PTU, the Jeep Active Drive 4×4 system is fully automatic and delivers seamless operation in and out of four-wheel drive, at any speed with no driver intervention. Jeep Active Drive enables optimal grip in low-traction conditions.
Jeep Active Drive Low
Providing the Compass Trailhawk with legendary off-road capability, Jeep Active Drive Low builds on the Jeep Active Drive 4×4 system and affords a class-leading 20:1 crawl ratio and low range for 4×4 Trail Rated capability.
Both Jeep Active Drive and Active Drive Low 4×4 systems include the Jeep Selec-Terrain system, providing up to four modes (Auto, Snow, Sand/Mud modes, plus exclusive Rock mode on the Trailhawk model) for driver controllable, four-wheel-drive performance on- or off-road and in all weather conditions.
For even greater Trail Rated off-road capability, Selec-Terrain includes standard Hill-descent Control on Trailhawk models. Hill-descent Control maintains vehicle speed down steep, rugged grades by actively controlling the brakes, allowing the driver to focus on steering.
The 2023 Compass features a class-exclusive fully disconnecting rear axle and power-transfer unit (PTU) in order to provide enhanced fuel economy. Jeep Active Drive and Active Drive Low 4×4 systems instantly engage when 4×4 traction is needed.
Based on the well-appointed Limited trim, the special-edition Compass (RED) model helps fund life-saving health programs around the world through a multi-brand Stellantis partnership with the (RED)® campaign.
