Is Jeep Compass a Reliable Car?

The Jeep Compass Reliability Rating is 4.0 out of 5.0, putting it at 11th out of 26 compact SUVs. The average annual repair cost is around $526, which means it has lower than average ownership costs.


Is the Jeep Compass Hard to Maintain?

No. Routine maintenance costs and requirements depend on the vehicle's make and its model. Routine maintenance costs will help you to avoid the higher costs of emergency vehicle maintenance. Oftentimes, you can read the vehicle maintenance schedule located in the glove compartment to understand which maintenance services your car requires and how often your car needs those services. Jeeps require less upkeep than they used to because of mechanical improvements, but they still require routine maintenance such as oil changes every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Jeep owners should also expect to need to rotate their tires with every oil change and consider an entire multipoint inspection for general upkeep. 



Is the Jeep Compass Fuel Efficient? 

Yes. The good news is that the new Jeep Compass engine is incredibly fuel efficient. You can expect Jeep Compass gas mileage of up to 31 mpg/highway.


Is the Jeep Compass a True 4x4?

Yes. There is a 4x4 system that operates automatically by default. This means the vehicle functions in four-wheel drive and can move safely on all surfaces. This system can use either a clutch or a center differential to allow the front and rear driveshafts to turn at varying speeds. 

The 2022 Jeep Compass is a crossover subcompact vehicle available in five luxurious trim levels. Here are the Various Trim level options for the Jeep Compass:
