The Jeep® brand continues to tread in the compact sport-utility vehicle (SUV) market with the 2010 Jeep Compass — delivering fun, freedom, utility, 29-mpg highway fuel efficiency, and Jeep 4×4 capability at a terrific value.

Compact and nimble, Jeep Compass brings a new sense of adventure to the compact SUV market, combining the packaging and functionality of an SUV with the performance, handling, fuel economy and price of a compact car. Compass and its stablemate, Patriot, are the Jeep brand’s first front-wheel-drive-based products with fully independent suspensions for comfortable on-road ride and handling and fun-to-drive characteristics.

Jeep Compass is designed to deliver world-class performance and fuel economy. Jeep Compass features a 2.4-liter World Engine that produces 172 horsepower (129 kW), 165 lb.-ft. (224 N•m) of torque, and (when paired with a five-speed manual transmission) delivers 23 mpg city and 28 mpg on the highway on both 4×2 and 4×4 models.

For even greater fuel economy, and new to the 2010 Jeep Compass, a 2.0-liter World Engine with five-speed manual transmission offers 158 horsepower (117 kW), 141 lb.-ft. (191 N•m) of torque and delivers 23 mpg city and 29 mpg on the highway.

Jeep Compass offers a full-time, active four-wheel-drive system called Freedom Drive I™. This four-wheel-drive system features a lockable Electronic-controlled Coupling (ECC), giving Jeep Compass 4×4 drivers the ability to handle rough weather conditions and low-traction surfaces.

Jeep Compass is designed for customers who want four-wheel-drive capability or the year-round versatility of front-wheel drive, excellent fuel economy and an attractive price point. With modern interior and exterior styling, and traditional round Jeep headlamps and seven-slot grille, muscular body-side flares, strong stance and sweeping roofline — the 2010 Jeep Compass design broadens the global appeal of the Jeep brand.
