Jeep's most compact model,Compasswelcomes the new entry-grade model, the Altitude Sport. Consequently, the previous entry-grade model, the Compass Sport 4x2 6AT, has been removed from the lineup.


With this restructuring of the model lineup, the Compass will now be available in two grades: the Altitude Sport and the Limited, a four-wheel-drive, higher-grade model equipped with a 2.4-liter engine.





The Compass Altitude Sport, introduced in February, is a front-wheel-drive model with a body measuring 4,475mm in length, 1,810mm in width, and 1,665mm in height, combining a 2-liter inline four-cylinder engine with a CVT transmission.


The most significant difference compared to the outgoing model, the Compass Sport 4x2 6AT, is the change in transmission from the previous 6-speed automatic to a CVT. The fuel economy in JC08 mode remains virtually unchanged at 10.5 km/ℓ.
