DISCOVERING
Every Jeep® Compass Trailhawk® proudly wears the Trail Rated® badge—signifying its ability to perform well under various off-road conditions. It carries on the Jeep Brand tradition of having legendary traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation and water fording abilities.
PERSEVERING
Jeep® Trail Rated® 4x4 vehicles are engineered to tackle some of the toughest terrain on earth. The Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System and the Jeep Active Drive Low 4x4 System help the compact and powerful Jeep Compass Trailhawk® masterfully handle snow, sand, mud and rock.
IMMERSING
The Jeep® Compass Trailhawk® boldly goes where other vehicles only dare. Insulated electrical connections and enhanced body sealing, along with a high air intake, help you to navigate the streams and flooded underpasses that stop others cold.
NAVIGATING
Conquer narrow gaps and maneuver through cramped driving situations. The Jeep® Compass Trailhawk® has precision steering and a tight turning diameter to help you dodge emergency situations.
ANCHORING
Keeping the rubber on the trail is what it’s about. When one or more of the Compass Trailhawk® wheels becomes elevated while going over obstacles, good articulation allows the other wheels to stay in contact with the ground and keep you moving.
CLIMBING
Logs, rocks and any other hurdles Mother Nature puts in your way can be easily managed by the off-road geometry engineered into the Compass Trailhawk®. Ground clearance measures an impressive 8.5 inches to help you conquer surprisingly large obstacles.
EXPLORING
The 2018 Jeep® Compass Trailhawk® delivers Best-in-Class 4x4 capability. Get behind the wheel and head north, south, east or west—it’s ready to explore in whatever direction you choose. The Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System, combined with the Jeep Active Drive Low 4x4 System, delivers outstanding on-road traction and dominating off-road performance.
POWERING
Efficiency meets responsive power under the hood of the Jeep® Compass. A dynamic 2.4L Tigershark® MultiAir® 2 engine provides drivers with Best-in-Class 4x4 Highway Fuel Economy. Choose from a six-speed manual or a six- or nine-speed automatic transmission for enhanced performance and smooth shifting. Fuel-saving Stop/Start technology is standard with the automatic transmission. Stop/Start technology shuts the engine off when the vehicle stops, then starts the engine again when the brakes are released.

PERFORMING
Performance and efficiency are amplified with the help of the exclusive MultiAir® 2 valvetrain system on the 2.4L Tigershark® engine. MultiAir 2 technology maximizes intake manifold pressure and manages combustion quality to help the engine run more efficiently and effectively. The available nine-speed automatic transmission further optimizes engine output and enables aggressive launches and smooth power delivery.

HANDLING AND CAPABILITY
BREATHTAKING
From rural roads to the most modern highways, the Jeep® Compass is designed to give you an impressive ride. A stiff body structure combined with a responsive steering system and a frequency-sensitive damping front and rear strut system add up to excellent handling with maximum control.
HILL DESCENT CONTROL
MASTERING
There’s no need to ride the brake pedal when navigating challenging downhill paths. Jeep® Compass Trailhawk® is the only Compass model equipped with Hill Descent Control. It monitors throttle, speed and braking on steep slopes, allowing the driver to concentrate on steering. Hill Start Assist keeps your brakes applied after you’ve released the brake pedal, to give you time to accelerate without rollback.
TRANSPORTING
When it’s time to haul, the Jeep® Compass steps up. The 2.4L Tigershark® MultiAir® 2 engine provides a maximum towing capacity of up to 2,000 pounds.This tow rating is useful for hauling everything from folding camp trailers to trailers for small boats, motorcycles and snowmobiles.
