AGILE AND EFFICIENT

Small SUVs and Compact SUVs are the smallest classes for sport utility vehicles. Their size is great for city driving because they combine impressive maneuverability and efficiency, compared to larger SUVs. The Jeep® Compass is the Jeep Brand’s small SUV offering.

SMALL SUV SIZE

Small SUVs can navigate narrow city streets and traverse trails with room to spare, thanks to a shorter wheelbase and smaller frame than full-size sport utility vehicles. For example, the Jeep® Compass features a wheelbase roughly 100 inches long and a vehicle length of 170 inches, which is more than enough to accommodate passengers and cargo comfortably.

SEATING AND CARGO CAPACITY

Small and Compact SUVs have two rows of seating for up to five passengers. They also feature generous cargo capacity, especially compared to sedans. Jeep® Compass features dynamic seating and cargo options that let you strike an optimal balance between your passengers and gear.

CAPABILITY

You don’t have to sacrifice off-road performance when it comes to small and compact SUVs. The Jeep® Compass Trailhawk® features legendary Trail Rated® capability to power your adventures to incredible heights.
