2009 Jeep Compass Trims and Specs

The 2009 Jeep Compass has the look of a four-wheel-drive stone-stomper, but instead has four-cylinder efficiency, thanks to its 2.4-liter engine, and front-wheel-drive traction. A five-speed manual transmission adds a bit of fun, while traction control means it hasn’t completely abandoned its heritage. With cloth upholstery for its front bucket and split-folding rear seats, utility takes precedence over style here. Foglights and roof rails further display its off-road heritage, while air conditioning and a tilt steering wheel add a bit of comfort. A tachometer and outside-temperature gauge let you know how things are going outside and in, and variable-intermittent front wipers are matched be a rear wiper and washer combination with a rear defogger. The CD player comes with a standard digital-media connection.

Four-wheel antilock disc brakes sit behind the 17-inch alloy wheels and are aided by brake assist and an anti-skid system. Dual front and curtain-side airbags are standard, as are a tire-pressure monitor and a theft-deterrent system.

With four-wheel drive and a locking center differential, the 2009 Jeep Compass Sport 4WD stands more in line with its Jeep heritage. The 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine won’t provide the power you might expect from a true trail troller, but the five-speed manual transmission does give it some spirit. Traction control helps keep the 17-inch alloys from spinning, just in case you favor your right foot. Front bucket and split-folding rear seats come with cloth upholstery, and a tilt steering wheel helps the driver find a comfortable position. Look to a tachometer, outside temperature indicator, and CD player with digital-media interface for additional comfort and convenience, along with variable-intermittent front wipers and a rear wiper and washer combination with defogger. Foglights and roof rails are included for utility.

A sport suspension, rear privacy glass, and 18-inch alloy wheels immediately betray the 2009 Jeep Compass Limited from the outside, but it’s on the inside that the majority of changes and upgrades can be found. Heated leather front bucket seats and a reclining leather split-folding rear are found here, with a matching leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel that houses controls for the cruise and the 6-CD and MP3 player, equipped with satellite radio and a digital-media connection. The driver’s seat is height adjustable and comes with lumbar adjustment, while the passenger seat folds flat. Foglights, roof rails, and traction control hint at the capability to go off-road, even if this trim is stuck with front-wheel drive. A 2.4-liter engine comes with a five-speed manual transmission here.

Air conditioning, an automatic rearview, and a garage door opener are joined by a 115-volt power outlet, outside-temperature indicator, and floormats, as well as a tachometer, to round out the convenience features. Variable-intermittent front wipers do windshield duty, while the rear is handled by a defogger with a wiper and washer combo. Power mirrors, windows, and door locks are joined by remote keyless entry for full power bragging rights.
