2027 Jeep Compass Specs NH

The 2027 Jeep Compass is a five-seat compact SUV with one U.S. engine and an eight-speed automatic. Latitude Altitude measures 173.4 inches long, and Limited has a 4,800-pound gross vehicle weight rating. Trailhawk has its own ground clearance, tires and four-wheel-drive hardware.

Engine and Drivetrain Specifications

The turbo engine makes its torque at a lower speed than its peak horsepower. That helps explain why it can pick up the pace during an ordinary merge on Route 101 without the driver needing to wind the engine out. The conventional automatic has stepped gears. The driver can use its manual shift mode to select a gear when conditions call for more control.

On most trims, Jeep Active Drive manages power between the axles automatically. Trailhawk uses Jeep Active Drive Low. Its 20:1 crawl ratio provides low-speed control over uneven ground. The ratio describes gearing, while the 200-hp figure describes engine output. The Trailhawk retains the same engine and rated output as Latitude.

Exterior Dimensions for NH Parking

For a garage or a narrow entrance, the 80.0-inch mirror-to-mirror width is the more useful Latitude Altitude measurement. The Compass measures 73.8 inches across with its side mirrors folded. When the garage door jamb or a snowbank sets the limit, those mirrors account for more than half a foot across the vehicle. The 173.4-inch length measures the body end to end. The 103.8-inch wheelbase measures between axles and is a separate number.

The clearance figures distinguish the Latitude Altitude from Trailhawk. The measurement is the space below the vehicle, where the lowest parts pass above a ridge. More clearance on Trailhawk gives it more room under the vehicle over uneven ground. Overall height instead matters when entering a covered parking space near Dover or a low garage in Exeter.

Interior Dimensions and Cargo Space in NH

The front row gives Latitude Altitude drivers 41.2 inches of legroom. At the rear, 38.3 inches of legroom and a 55.1-inch shoulder width describe two parts of the fit. Legroom is the space in front of a seated passenger. Shoulder room describes width around the upper body, where sharing the bench with two other people feels different from riding alone. A child seat also takes up space around its own shell and base.

The second row's position is the difference between the two cargo measurements. Keep the bench up for a trip from Durham to Hampton Beach State Park with passengers, and bags have 27.2 cubic feet behind the row. With the bench folded, the load floor extends into the rear passenger area, increasing cargo volume to 59.8 cubic feet. The split seatback lets a narrow, long load go down one side while someone sits on the other.

The liftgate opening is 42.1 inches at its widest point, and there are 38.1 inches between the wheelhouses. Measure rigid items where they pass through the opening and where they will sit. A broad suitcase, cooler or stroller can take up a large part of the available floor even if its volume sounds small. Soft duffels use the spaces around those items. Limited's foot-activated liftgate is an added convenience if both hands are full when you reach the rear bumper.

Capacity and Capability

Jeep's 2,000-pound maximum applies when the Compass is properly equipped. The trailer's loaded weight includes its own weight and everything inside or on it. The hitch and trailer wiring are separate from the red recovery hooks on the Trailhawk. In a trailer combination, tongue weight also loads the tow vehicle and counts against the amount the vehicle can carry.

The 3,620-pound factory base curb weight describes the vehicle without passengers or their cargo. Its 4,800-pound gross vehicle weight rating is the maximum loaded vehicle weight, a different number from maximum trailer weight. The label on a particular Compass is the reference for that vehicle's load limits.

Wheels, Tires and Brakes

Latitude has a 17-inch all-season setup. Trailhawk also has 17-inch wheels, but its 215/65R17 all-terrain tire and narrower wheel differ from the Latitude combination. The Latitude Altitude and Limited both use 225/55R18 all-season tires with different wheel finishes. Limited Altitude moves up to a 19-inch wheel. The tire's size and tread type matter when buying replacements.

Jeep specifies 12.0-inch vented front brake rotors and 10.95-inch solid rear rotors, with four-wheel antilock braking as standard equipment.

Fuel Economy and Tank Capacity in NH

Factory fuel economy labels list 21 mpg city, 29 mpg highway and 24 mpg combined for all five trims shown above. The city and highway figures describe different test cycles. On the Seacoast, a steady stretch of I-95 and a string of short, cold starts can produce different mileage in the same Compass. The 13.5-gallon fuel tank is standard. In day-to-day use the distance between fill-ups varies with driving, load and conditions. Jeep Limited fuel economy label.

Key Features by Trim

Screen size and instrument cluster size describe different displays. Latitude's 8.4-inch touchscreen handles Uconnect. On Limited the center touchscreen measures 10.1 inches and the display in front of the driver measures 10.25 inches. The Compass trim guide separates the two Altitude packages from Trailhawk's hardware.

Cabin Hardware That Changes With the Trim

The standard controls share a layout, but how they feel day to day varies by trim. Latitude has a manually adjustable driver seat. Limited adds fore-and-aft and height adjustment by power, plus lumbar adjustment that changes support at the lower back. Trailhawk uses a different seat covering while retaining those power controls. A family with two regular drivers near Durham is more likely to notice those controls than a single-driver household.

The optional Limited navigation package adds an onboard map and Alpine audio. Phone projection uses a compatible phone for the apps, and wireless charging is a separate part of the Limited equipment. A driver who relies on a phone on trips between Dover and Exeter can keep directions in the middle display while the gauge display stays on vehicle information. The front passenger can still adjust the climate temperature independently.

The two Altitude packages use different wheels. Latitude Altitude pairs its 18-inch wheel with the same tire size as Limited. Limited Altitude wears a 19-inch wheel and a 235/45R19 all-season tire. Both Limited and Trailhawk use smaller wheels. Trailhawk's narrower 17-inch wheel and 215/65R17 tire are part of the all-terrain setup and a useful distinction when the Jeep is due for tires.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Standard equipment includes adaptive cruise with stop and go, blind spot and rear cross-path detection, lane management and the rear backup camera. The factory label also lists forward collision warning with active braking, pedestrian and cyclist emergency braking, and drowsy driver detection. Limited and Trailhawk add rear parking assistance. At low speed, the camera supplies a view behind the vehicle while the parking sensors warn of a nearby obstacle. The driver still controls the vehicle.

Factory Warranty Coverage

The basic and powertrain terms on the factory label run until either time or mileage is reached. The powertrain term applies to covered powertrain parts. Oil changes, tires and brake wear are separate service items. Jeep Portsmouth handles factory maintenance and warranty work through its service scheduler.

What the Compass Numbers Mean in Practice

• Garage fit in North Hampton: The mirror width takes up more of the garage opening when snow piles narrow the approach.
• Passengers and gear in Rye: The seats-up cargo figure represents the everyday family load space. The split seat gives you another option for a long item.
• Tire service in Rochester: The all-terrain Trailhawk tire and the larger Limited Altitude wheel use different fitments even though both vehicles say Compass.
• Towing from the Seacoast: Maximum loaded trailer weight and vehicle GVWR answer separate questions.

What the Load Ratings Apply To

Gross trailer weight is the loaded trailer measured on its own. The tongue load is the portion resting on the hitch. The U.S. owner's manual lists a maximum of 200 pounds at the tongue for the 2.0-liter, eight-speed, four-wheel-drive Compass. Passengers, cargo in the vehicle and the tongue load all add weight to the Jeep. The trailer limit is a separate figure.

That distinction matters for a utility trailer used on a weekend in Hampton. A light empty trailer and a loaded trailer are two different weights. A separate hitch receiver and wiring connection serve the trailer, while Trailhawk's recovery hooks are part of its off-road equipment. At Jeep Portsmouth, the parts team can discuss equipment for a particular Compass.

2027 Compass Specifications FAQs

How long is the Latitude Altitude from bumper to bumper?

Latitude Altitude measures 173.4 inches bumper to bumper. Its wheelbase, the distance between the front and rear axles, is 103.8 inches. Use overall length when checking a parking stall or garage depth and allow additional room if you will open the liftgate with the garage door closed.

Does the 73.8-inch body width include the mirrors?

The body measures 73.8 inches with the side mirrors folded and 80.0 inches with them open. The mirrors add 6.2 inches to overall width. Use the open-mirror figure when measuring a garage opening you want to drive through without folding the mirrors.

How much shoulder room does the rear seat have?

The Latitude Altitude has 55.1 inches of rear shoulder room, with 38.3 inches of rear legroom. Shoulder room describes the width across the bench at upper-body level. If two child restraints and a passenger need to share the row, bring the seats and check their actual fit.

What is the fuel tank size on Latitude Altitude?

The Compass has a 13.5-gallon fuel tank, including on Latitude Altitude. Mopar lists the tank at 51 liters. Tank capacity is useful when comparing the size of a fill-up. How far one tank takes you depends on mileage, traffic, load and how early you stop to refuel.

What tire size is standard on Trailhawk?

The Trailhawk factory label lists 215/65R17 all-terrain tires on 17-inch wheels. Latitude also uses 17-inch wheels, with a different tire size and an all-season tread. Read the full tire size when shopping for replacements. It gives the tire width and sidewall profile as well as the wheel diameter.

What is the gross vehicle weight rating on Limited?

The 2027 Compass Limited has a 4,800-pound gross vehicle weight rating. That is the maximum total weight of the loaded vehicle, including people, cargo and any trailer tongue load. Compare the loaded vehicle with the certification label on its door opening when working out what it can carry.

Which Compass has more ground clearance?

Trailhawk has 8.6 inches of ground clearance, half an inch more than the Latitude Altitude at 8.1 inches. Ground clearance is the space under the vehicle. Use overall height for a low garage opening and ground clearance when judging how the underside might clear a ridge.
