2017 Jeep Compass Performance and Engine

2.4-Liter MultiAir Four-Cylinder Engine

Under the hood, this Compass packs Jeep's 2.4-liter MultiAir four-cylinder engine, a responsive and fuel-conscious powerplant that delivers solid performance for everyday driving. The MultiAir technology uses variable valve timing and lift to optimize combustion efficiency, which means you get a better balance of power and fuel economy than older naturally aspirated engines of similar displacement.
 

9-Speed Automatic Transmission and 4WD

Paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, the Compass shifts smoothly and keeps the engine in its optimal power range whether you're merging onto I-75 or navigating surface streets through Wayne County. The 4WD drivetrain is where this Compass truly earns its Jeep badge — engaging all four wheels when conditions demand it makes a genuine difference during Michigan's icy winters and unpredictable spring weather.

Jeep Compass Features and Interior

The Latitude trim represents a meaningful step up from the base Sport, bringing a more comfortable and connected cabin experience. Expect features like heated front seats, a touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity, a rearview camera, and keyless entry. The interior is practical and well-laid-out, with enough cargo space behind the rear seats to handle grocery runs, gym bags, or weekend gear. Cloth seating, dual-zone climate controls, and Jeep's intuitive controls round out a cabin that feels thoughtfully equipped without being overwhelming.

Jeep Compass Reliability and Ownership

The 2017 Jeep Compass received a full redesign for the model year — though it's worth noting that the complete second-generation redesign arrived for 2018, making the 2017 a refined version of the first generation. Owners of the 2017 Compass generally praise its off-road capability relative to price point, its comfortable ride on paved roads, and its reasonable ownership costs. The 2.4-liter engine has a strong track record of longevity when oil changes and routine maintenance are kept up. As with any used vehicle near or above 100,000 miles, it's smart to review service records and consider a pre-purchase inspection — something the team at Best of Michigan Auto Sales is happy to support.
