The engine is suitable for everyday driving and is equipped with the MultiAir valve-timing system which boosts power while increasing fuel efficiency. Speaking of fuel efficiency, the Compass averages 23/32 mpg over city and highway roads respectively. That sort of fuel economy will amount to big savings for those who are constantly on the go. The drivetrain on the Jeep Compass is controlled by a six-speed manual, six-speed automatic, or nine-speed automatic transmission, depending on the trim level.
