We drove the Jeep Compass Trailhawk 4×4 with DeLila Miller of Leith Chrysler Jeep in Raleigh. What we found out was that it’s not your average 4-cylinder vehicle. Whether you want to tow a smaller boat, a motorcycle, or just take your jet skis along for the ride to the coast, the Compass has enough torque to tow a full ton of fun. Bonus: it’s got up to 180 horsepower, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to suck your gas tank dry. The 2017 Jeep Compass gets up to 30mpg/highway.

The all-new 2017 Jeep Compass holds the lowest cost of ownership among all crossover vehicles, having won the distinguished Automotive Science Group’s Best Economic Performance award for its class.

Zero to 60 host Mark Arsen says the Compass’ new styling looks so much like the Jeep Cherokee, “this thing is kind of styled very similar to the Grand Cherokee, which is a great look. Everybody loves that vehicle.”
