so here's the 2025 Jeep Compass you
0:02
might notice it looks a little bit like
0:04
the 2024 Jeep Compass but jeep has sent
0:07
out the official announcement on what's
0:09
new for
0:10
2025 because this will be a short 2025
0:14
run and then the 2026 will show up and
0:17
they will be on a completely different
0:19
platform completely different vehicle
0:21
possibly a different engine for 2025
0:24
drum roll please we will have a new
0:27
limited edition juice exterior color
0:30
with late availability that's right it's
0:32
not ready yet and no you can't see it in
0:35
this video and we can't see it either
0:37
it'll be interesting to know what it
0:39
looks like and maybe there's a picture
0:41
of it in the press release uh nope no
0:44
picture in the press release however
0:47
what is the Jeep Compass it's a bit
0:48
underrated it's actually a very nice
0:50
vehicle it has some off-road capability
0:54
uh not enough that it will pass through
0:56
the contest but enough that it won't
0:58
fall to pieces on the relatively easy
1:01
part of the Jeep off-road course it has
1:04
a 2 L turbo engine 4-cylinder with 200
1:07
horsepower and 221 pound feet of torque
1:10
this is much better than any old Compass
1:13
engine you might think that this is
1:15
Chrysler's 8speed automatic but no it's
1:18
not if you want to be picky it's also
1:19
not ZF 8speed automatic so now all
1:22
models have Jeep active Drive 4x4 that's
1:25
all-wheel drive and the Trailhawk has a
1:29
low gear as well well so that you get a
1:30
20 to1 craw ratio which they say is
1:33
class leading and probably is you get up
1:36
to four modes so you have Auto that's
1:39
automatic snow and sand and mud on all
1:42
models and then the track Hawk gives you
1:44
a rock mode as well so that's basically
1:47
for combination of traction control and
1:50
where it directs the power to the front
1:52
or to the rear and such like and the
1:54
compass has uh front LED reflector
1:57
headlamps on all models but if you want
2:00
really good LED headlamp you get the
2:02
latitude Lux limited or Trailhawk so the
2:05
Trailhawk is really the one that you
2:06
want if you're ever going to go Offroad
2:08
it has uh 1-in Factory lift it has skid
2:11
plates aggressive tires for off-roading
2:14
and tow hooks front and rear it has the
2:17
low gear as I mentioned before so that
2:19
you can get that 20 to1 crawl ratio
2:21
you're not going to use this at any real
2:23
speeds you know this isn't something
2:24
where you're driving 30 m an hour and
2:26
you're in low gear that that's not going
2:28
to work well it's got a 30 ° approach
2:30
angle 24° breakover and 34° departure
2:33
angle with Hill descent control it can
2:36
cross up to 19 in of water if you drive
2:38
really really slowly and don't create
2:41
big waves and it can tow up to 2,000 lb
2:43
of the towing bage you also get a 10-in
2:46
touchcreen stereo in the middle that's
2:49
optional on the lower model standard on
2:51
latitude Lux limit end Trailhawk and an
2:53
optional full color 10 and 1/4 in gauge
2:56
cluster so for 2025 they haven't done
2:58
the usual thing where they they slash
3:00
the models down to one or two you still
3:02
get sport latitude latitude Lux limited
3:05
and Trailhawk there are six colors
3:08
silver white black Hydro blue juice
3:11
whatever that is and red hot an interior
3:13
is done in black or black and sepia but
3:16
the second one is only unlimited so
3:18
basically you can get it any color you
3:20
want as long as it's black the compass
3:22
is actually a nice quiet comfortable car
3:25
I really liked it uh when I test drove
3:27
it I've been driven by friends in who
3:29
have them and they really love the
3:31
things it's going to be really
3:32
interesting to see what the new Compass
3:35
looks like how much of the off-road
3:37
capability it keeps because that's
3:39
always a trade-off right more off-road
3:41
capability means tougher body it means
3:43
skid plates stuff like that and then you
3:46
have extra weight to uh deal with all
3:48
that it's not free you don't get great
3:51
off-roading without any cost at all it's
3:54
always a trade-off so we're going to see
3:56
what trade-offs they make in the 2026
3:59
compass it will probably use pu's 1.6 L
4:02
turbo engine which is being set up to be
4:05
made in large quantities in Michigan as
4:08
we speak so the 1.6 should actually
4:11
provide a better experience than the old
4:13
2.4 or the uh 1.4 Fiat Turbo engines
4:16
dated in the heavy Compass or the
4:19
Renegade because it's designed for
4:21
vehicles of higher weight as well as for
4:24
light sporty cars so the 1.6 turbo that
4:27
they're busy making or preparing to make
4:30
down in Michigan is probably a pretty
4:32
good base engine but we'll see when it
4:34
comes out and it will probably be sell
4:36
sold in a hybrid format so that you have
4:39
a bit of electric boost at the bottom
4:40
end and that helps get you going in the
4:43
meantime this is Dave from Motel signing
4:45
off with a reminder that you can go to
4:47
motals and learn about the 1.6 L engine
4:50
you can learn about the compass you can
4:52
learn about all sorts of fun things
4:54
going all the way back to 1924 when the
4:57
first Chrysler was released
