For 2023 the baby version of the popular Jeep Grand Cherokee gets an updated powertrain that fixes some of the lingering issues the platform has had and makes it a strong competitor to the likes of the Subaru Forester Wilderness.
Yes, for the 2023 model year, the Jeep Compass gets a re-tuned version of the 2.0L 4-cylinder power plant that can be found under the hood of the renowned Wrangler. The transmission is also swapped out, no more clunky 9-speed automatic here. The new 8-speed automatic is much more refined in its operation and, coming from someone who owns a Cherokee with the 9-speed transmission, is a welcome addition to the Compass platform. All 2023 Compass SUVs are 4×4 models for added traction in any situation.
The new engine and transmission make this spunky little crossover feel more alive. With best-in-class 200 horsepower and best-in-class 221 lb-ft of torque, the vehicle finally has the power it needs and, in this Trailhawk trim, allows you to do obstacles many larger SUVs may struggle to complete.
The trail-rated Trailhawk features a one-inch factory lift, better approach and departure angles, underbody protection, aggressive off-road tires, Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System, Jeep Active Drive Low 4×4 System, and hill descent control.
Inside, this Trailhawk is a mixture version of the much-beloved Grand Cherokee with its design and technology. Our model features the standard 10.1-inch Connect 5 HD infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as the 10.25-inch frameless digital gauge cluster. Seats are comfortable and supportive while also featuring heat and ventilation.
