“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, SVP 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 4x4 trim configurations: Sport, Latitude, Latitude LUX, Limited, and the Trail Rated Trailhawk, the 2023 Jeep Compass is available now for order and scheduled to start arriving in North American Jeep showrooms in the first quarter of 2023.

Fitted with engine stop-start (ESS) technology, the new powertrain delivers low emissions, quick 0-60 miles per hour (mph) launch performance, and enhanced drivability.

Hydraulic-filled mounts absorb vibrations from the engine, preventing them from being transmitted to the cockpit.

The engine is part of the Stellantis Global Medium Engine family and features double overhead camshafts (DOHC), dual independent camshaft timing, and a cooled exhaust gas recirculation (C-EGR) system, according to Stellantis.

The new 2023 Jeep Compass offers more than 80 safety and security features.
