The Compass could almost pass for the Jeep Patriot’s twin, with a look that is less 4x4 and more urban gentleman. Some even call it the mini Jeep Grand Cherokee. There are 2 available four-cylinder engines: a 2.0L 158-hp and a 2.4L 172-hp. As for the transmission, there’s a five-speed manual, a six-speed automatic or a CVT, depending on the version. Although it’s a Jeep, certain versions are front-wheel drive, while the others feature all-wheel drive.
