Top reasons drivers choose the Compass
Standard all-wheel drive
Every Compass comes with all-wheel drive, which many rivals charge extra for or leave off their base trims, a real advantage in Georgia rain and the occasional trip north.
Available Trailhawk capability
The Compass Trailhawk adds skid plates, red tow hooks, all-terrain tires, extra ground clearance, and a low-range mode, giving it genuine light-trail ability few compact SUVs match.
Turbocharged power
A 200-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four gives the Compass strong midrange pull, paired with a smooth 8-speed automatic.
Worth knowing about the Compass
- Every Compass has all-wheel drive standard, even the base Latitude, which is not true of most compact-SUV rivals.
- The Trailhawk is a real off-road trim with skid plates, tow hooks, and a low-range mode, rare in this class and price.
- For 2026, the Trailhawk’s Convenience Group (heated seats, remote start, and more) is standard instead of a $2,575 option.
