Engine & Drivetrain

The 2022 Jeep Compass is powered by a 2.4-liter Tigershark four-cylinder engine pumping out 177 horsepower and 172 lb-ft. of torque. It has a six-speed automatic transmission and standard front-wheel drive. If you need all-wheel traction, a 4×4 drivetrain is optional, along with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Still, the Compass is available in two 4×4 variants depending on the trim level: Jeep Active Drive and Jeep Active Drive Low.

Jeep Active Drive is a fully automatic 4×4 drivetrain that seamlessly transitions from front to rear to all-wheel drive at any speed. It can even send 100 percent of the engine’s torque to the rear wheels as needed. Meanwhile, Jeep Active Drive Low is standard for the Compass Trailhawk. It offers better traction and grip for rough terrain with low range gearing and a 20:1 crawl ratio.
