2023 Compass Trailhawk Is A Better Oriented Jeep

Рет қаралды 22,287

Күн бұрын

With a new engine, transmission and suspension setup, the 2023 Jeep Compass is an improvement over the outgoing model. If you really, truly, honestly believe you’re going off-road, the more capable Trailhawk is the one to choose. It adds skid plates, a rock mode, some extra ground clearance and improved approach, breakover and departure angles. It’s more compact than competitors (positive for some, negative for others). But for taking on tough trails, Trailhawk is hard to beat in class.
In my competitor list I forgot to mention the Ford Bronco Sport Badlands that competes well with Compass Trailhawk. I'd blame it on the pain meds but I've been off those for weeks.

$46K is nucking futs. Jeep did away with the Cherokee and then moved Compass right up into it's pricing category. Add outlandish pricing together with lack of long term reliability, and you begin to understand why Jeep is one of the few brands in 2023 whose dealers have lots full of inventory sitting unsold. Bring on the rebates!

I did a lot of research before purchasing a '23 Latitude Lux late June of '23. I considered equivalents, but the well-reviewed turbocharged engine and transmission (new this year), plus some good deals at a dealership (Mt. Juliet Nashville), closed the deal. $6K under MSRP--so some of the price complaints below miss the mark. It is a pleasure to drive with the added power and crisp transmission. What I wasn't expecting was the mileage. Such claims often raise "Yeah sure!" eyebrows, but I took a 130-mile trip in central Tennessee and averaged 41.1 mpg. I turn getting good mileage into a game and know how to do it, but this was unexpected with an EPA rating of 32 highway. So no guilt about not getting a hybrid. Classy looking rig (it's a Jeep), fun to drive, with exceptional mileage. Highly recommended.

It looks like an improvement over the model it replaces, but sure gets spendy. We just bought a 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness and this Compass is $10,000 more expensive. That's a tough ask unless you REALLY want a Jeep logo on the hood.

I know Jeep has never been generous with cargo covers (even Grand Cherokees didn't come with them standard when I last checked), but at $46K for a subcompact this is a glaring miss.

Nice review as always, Tom, and happy to see you review a non-hybrid/electric model! I would add Ford Bronco Sport to the list of Compass competitors. And while $46K is a bit much for a Compass, a decently specced Latitude/Altitude model (where does Jeep get these names?) can be had for upper $30's. At that price, it'd be on my short list, along with the Bronco Sport and Mazda CX-5.

Great review as always, Tom. I like the image and capability of the Jeep products. To me, Jeep = Cabelas and Subaru = REI. I just got an Outback Touring XT (260 hp on regular) for $40K after negotiating. It does everything but bake bread. Decent handling, great acceleration (and that's with CVT!), 32 on the highway, quiet/comfortable for four big adults, and will get me through any gravel or mud/snow situation I'll face, since my hardcore camping days are behind me. With the rear seats flopped down, I can slide my mountain bike right in there; don't even need the bike rack. This rig is like a flying tank. And unlike my dear departed nine-year old X3 it has a dipstick! And no fg run-flats! And a full-sized spare! Subie for the win.

My bro-in-law has a Compass, my Sis drives a Crosstrek, my Nephew a Cherokee, his wife a Subie... and the list goes on. They love them all. By the way, were you over here in my neighborhood (Napa) a few weeks back to drive the new Rolls Spectre? I'll bet you were, I might have even seen you on my bike ride! I saw about five of them that morning and the one in that two-tone military green was amazing!

Take that $46k and put it into your home: 70 inch 4k TV, lots of speakers, big amp, 4k DVD player and a popcorn machine. That Compass will be worthless in 4 to 5 years but your home will still be home with all that nice stuff in it. Prices are too high, and people are suffering because of it. When someone pays too much for a vehicle, the dealers and manufacturers keep prices high.

People buying Jeep go in with their eyes wide open knowing it doesn't have top reliability. And I like CU but I use them as a resource, not a bible.
