2023 Compass Trailhawk Is A Better Oriented Jeep
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 06. 2024
- With a new engine, transmission and suspension setup, the 2023 Jeep Compass is an improvement over the outgoing model. If you really, truly, honestly believe you’re going off-road, the more capable Trailhawk is the one to choose. It adds skid plates, a rock mode, some extra ground clearance and improved approach, breakover and departure angles. It’s more compact than competitors (positive for some, negative for others). But for taking on tough trails, Trailhawk is hard to beat in class.
In my competitor list I forgot to mention the Ford Bronco Sport Badlands that competes well with Compass Trailhawk. I'd blame it on the pain meds but I've been off those for weeks.

$46K is nucking futs. Jeep did away with the Cherokee and then moved Compass right up into it's pricing category. Add outlandish pricing together with lack of long term reliability, and you begin to understand why Jeep is one of the few brands in 2023 whose dealers have lots full of inventory sitting unsold. Bring on the rebates!
They would take a bail out vs become reasonable
I'll cover 2023's annual fee for 20 of us. Thanks as always for the high quality content throughout the years.
You hear that 20 random people? freelanebrazy718 has spotted you. Let's all thank him.
THANKS TOM ... HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERYONE..HAVE A GOOD DAY ✌️
I did a lot of research before purchasing a '23 Latitude Lux late June of '23. I considered equivalents, but the well-reviewed turbocharged engine and transmission (new this year), plus some good deals at a dealership (Mt. Juliet Nashville), closed the deal. $6K under MSRP--so some of the price complaints below miss the mark. It is a pleasure to drive with the added power and crisp transmission. What I wasn't expecting was the mileage. Such claims often raise "Yeah sure!" eyebrows, but I took a 130-mile trip in central Tennessee and averaged 41.1 mpg. I turn getting good mileage into a game and know how to do it, but this was unexpected with an EPA rating of 32 highway. So no guilt about not getting a hybrid. Classy looking rig (it's a Jeep), fun to drive, with exceptional mileage. Highly recommended.
How is your experience today with your jeep and do you have any issues with it?
I bought one of the very first Compass in late 06. It had a lot of issues, I would recommend people go buy a RAV4 instead.
Wasn’t thst before the redesign?
Evil twin is doing opening scenes now? That's quite a promotion.
Happy Independence Day, Martin & Tom. I hope you & your loved ones have a beautiful day.
I too "dreaded" driving the old compass as a loaner.
I also try not to be overly critical of interiors, but let's just say this interior is amazing compared to the old one.
The compass may not be on the top of my shopping list, but still nicely improved...
As always another great auto review. Love your channel.
I know Jeep has never been generous with cargo covers (even Grand Cherokees didn't come with them standard when I last checked), but at $46K for a subcompact this is a glaring miss.
Tom…your reviews are top tier. Love the comprehensive details and the honest opinion. Adult style and great videos. They do look so much better on my 4k T.V
Thanks for always producing great videos. Always excited to see you post new content.
Awesome! Thanks scghost93!
It looks like an improvement over the model it replaces, but sure gets spendy. We just bought a 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness and this Compass is $10,000 more expensive. That's a tough ask unless you REALLY want a Jeep logo on the hood.
Great review! Answered my driving questions👍👍😎🇺🇸
Thanks! Your videos are some of the best out there . . . I even watched your Compass video 😂
Thanks man! Much appreciated.
Nicely done. Again.
Nice review as always, Tom, and happy to see you review a non-hybrid/electric model! I would add Ford Bronco Sport to the list of Compass competitors. And while $46K is a bit much for a Compass, a decently specced Latitude/Altitude model (where does Jeep get these names?) can be had for upper $30's. At that price, it'd be on my short list, along with the Bronco Sport and Mazda CX-5.
True, Bronco Sport in Badlands trimwould be a worthy competitor to Trailhawk . I'd blame that oversight on the pain meds but I've been off those for a week.
@@DrivenCarReviews Hey, no worries. I love your stuff! Glad you're off the pain meds...
Another great review…but my god, $46k?! Yikes.
ya over priced
Not worth the price but nice
Happy 4 of July to to you Tom
I would say that the Ford Bronco Sport is a competitor.
Great review as always, Tom. I like the image and capability of the Jeep products. To me, Jeep = Cabelas and Subaru = REI. I just got an Outback Touring XT (260 hp on regular) for $40K after negotiating. It does everything but bake bread. Decent handling, great acceleration (and that's with CVT!), 32 on the highway, quiet/comfortable for four big adults, and will get me through any gravel or mud/snow situation I'll face, since my hardcore camping days are behind me. With the rear seats flopped down, I can slide my mountain bike right in there; don't even need the bike rack. This rig is like a flying tank. And unlike my dear departed nine-year old X3 it has a dipstick! And no fg run-flats! And a full-sized spare! Subie for the win.
Got mine for 29K with tradein of 10 yo Mini Cooper. True, don’t have the heated power seats, clear roof and other options but it’s still a Trailhawk and redline pearl red! Makes me happy 😃. Nice review btw
Thanks!
Thanks Jonathon!
great review, love the chapters! but $46k for a car that will be $16k in 3 years is ridiculous 🤯
i ordered my 2023 compass feb 6 they took till April 9th to deliver on easter sunday very happy here with my latidue trim didn't need to spend extra to get stuff i didn't want. $38K
Another excellent and informative review as always, Tom! I’d take a Toyota RAV4 Adventure over this though.
Thanks, Tom.
Good to see Martin survived the wedding 👍🏼💰
Er, did he ask for a raise lately, per chance? 😂
Nice review! I’d like additional info like projected reliability, especially compared to the Ford Bronco Sport (which i imagine is far more likely to be cross-shopped with this than the Honda CR-V).
My sister lives in Tahoe. Up there you can find Jeeps all over the place. Those and Subarus. My bro-in-law has a Compass, my Sis drives a Crosstrek, my Nephew a Cherokee, his wife a Subie... and the list goes on. They love them all. By the way, were you over here in my neighborhood (Napa) a few weeks back to drive the new Rolls Spectre? I'll bet you were, I might have even seen you on my bike ride! I saw about five of them that morning and the one in that two-tone military green was amazing!
I was not in Napa. I was most likely on the couch icing.
...and just like that the Compass is relevant. It's also on the short list of my vehicle shopping list .
Pro tip
Flip the tire over and you’ll have more room to put more things under the floor in the back
46 grands? wow.
I had a 2023 Compass as a rental last week - I couldn’t stand the turbo lag. Very disappointed with the driving experience, as the rest of the vehicle was very nice.
No question about it Tom, that was a Gerrrrate video. My kind of car.
Love your evil twin - signature item
0:48, Bronco Sport. 🤷🏼♂️
Yep. Missed that one.
I like my new Compass but i find the headrests on the rear seats realy obstruct the rear view in the mirror so i keep the seats layed forward
Here in Brazil Stellantis it’s gaining market. the compass sells well (comparatively to the average income) The new Ram Rampage should be a hit
A power upgrade is what this vehicle desperately needed
Just bought one and love it so far, granted I only have 1,200 miles on it.
How are you enjoying the compass and any issues?
¡Gracias!
Right back at ya Juan
The refresh definitely helped but not the type of suv I’m looking for in that market. Dodge Hornet R/T and Mazda CX-30 Turbo are my favorites.
What does the Hornet have 1.2 liter turbo ?....sounds like sewing machine i bet ......and it's a Dodge....yikes!
It does NOT have a low range transfer case, it simply locks the transmission in low 1st gear
No ads on youtube if you upgrade to youtube premium
If it was just a bit bigger, like Forester and RAV4 big, it would be a much better offering. It’s just too small for the price, to me. It has a very nice interior, but that only goes so far.
They’ve added the turbo engine from the Cherokee.
So, are they getting rid of the Cherokee. As rumored?
I hear conflicting rumors. Best bet, it will return with a different name and electrified in some way.
it will be sold as used for $25k
Are we getting a review of BMW x1 later?
Not sure at this time, I'll have to check the press fleet.
If this makes it to 100000 miles without engine problems I’d be amazed
While its a significant improvement over the previous Compass, $46K?? Youch!! I hope nobody actually buys these at that MSRP, its $10K too much.
$46K for all that utility and good trail-rated capabilities is not bad. Lots of tech also. I like it and is my list. Thanks!!
Take that $46k and put it into your home: 70 inch 4k TV, lots of speakers, big amp, 4k DVD player and a popcorn machine. That Compass will be worthless in 4 to 5 years but your home will still be home with all that nice stuff in it. Prices are too high, and people are suffering because of it. When someone pays too much for a vehicle, the dealers and manufacturers keep prices high.
also comparable to the bronco sport?
Absolutely. Trailhawk and Badlands would be comparable. A brain fart on my part
Beautifully done video. Maybe you should give some tips to that dreadful “everyman” driver dude who lives in your state? He is the worst! How does he even get press cars at this point?
A new twin turbo 2L V4 makes only 200 hp? The 2021 Accord 2L V4 could make 252 hp and the 2L Civic type R can do 315 hp. Seems Jeep can do a lot more tuning to get power.
$46K
God damn
Read some poor review's on the 2022 model.... pulse it was a very slow seller !
$30k starting? Nah, man. Guess Jeep doesn’t have an entry level SUV anymore.
Subaru forester sport???
Wilderness
Great review, but I think it's inappropriate to compare a nonhybrid with a hybrid when it comes to mpg.
My point is there is no hybrid. This needs to be rectified.
@@DrivenCarReviews: 100%.
Hybrid should be the standard in this class of vehicle. “Trail ready” marketing aside, these are predominantly around-town & commuting vehicles.
Hopefully the 7 buyers in America that will purchase a $46K Compass will find this review.
Only $1 a year?
Come on everyone, lets do it! Send in your dollar!
Ok... So how do i send you a contribution?
There's a thing called Super Thanks on YT. Or Venmo. I really need to be more serious about it to make it easier (but I really don't expect people to contribute).
At $46k for a Jeep you'd better be off getting a Wrangler, or Gladiator which are both more off-road worthy and will retain their resale value much better. I'd consider a lower trim but $35k would be a max I'd spend on a new Compass
Great if all you want is off-road capability. Compass is much more refined on a daily basis.
I love the vehicle but not the price. It’s just too expensive.
$46k, you could buy a Honda Ridgeline RTL (mid trim), and get more interior space, a nicer ride, a bed, and save $4,000. Wow...
Heck it would be worth $10 to make the ads disappear. Good job..
considering jeeps, horrible reputation for reliability and resale how do you justify $46,000?!?!
A small Jeep starts at $30,000. Chrysler, keep it. It should go for $20,000 at the most.
46K LOL
Carlos Tavares, the Stellantis boss is determined to make good profit for the company; Jeep has great reputation outside USA. You might better buy their stock than this Jeep.
Which one is the evil one? The one in red. 👺
Does it not concern you that Jeep is always on the worst cars list on Consumers reports and others ....buy something else this is probably crap if the last 5 years of problems means anything.
He is reviewing it. What do you want him to say? There are people who still buy these things. Car reviewers are not "well it might be a POS so I won't review it".
I mention from time to time but reliability depends on many things and there's no way I can assess how any individual vehicle will do over the years. I've owned cars from "questionable" brands that were flawless over the years. I've had friends whose Toyotas and Hondas failed big time. People buying Jeep go in with their eyes wide open knowing it doesn't have top reliability. And I like CU but I use them as a resource, not a bible.
@@DrivenCarReviews Year after year of problems across the line ...I could never tell people to look at such a mess of a car company.....I'll trust hundreds of thousands of stats collected over the years by CR. .
@@danielrn133 Some reviewers tell the whole truth , some leave out the bad ....this guy leaves the bad out ...not good!
@@DrivenCarReviews I'll take the CR stats over personal views ...they go trough hundreds of thousands reports from everyone who fixes or owns them ...if you think your view is better than CR I suggest maybe be a little less knowitall and go with the stats ,,,get it .
Merci !
I honestly don't know who this car is for.
My wife and kids nearly died several times in our 2023 compass trailhawk. Jeeps auto braking is the worst. Engages for no reason. Dodge would not help at all. Only thing they would tell us is keep it turned off. Even with it turned off they will still engage. Very dangerous. I would never buy another jeep product with auto braking. Please dont trust these little things with your family. Ours had many more issues ..finally got rid of ours with only 5,000 miles on it.
Yet another POS Stellantis offering. Love ya, Tom, but I wouldn’t buy this with YOUR money😜 BTW, POS doesn’t stand for Preferred Offering, Seriously.
I wouldn't buy this car because I'm switching to EV for my next one. People buy cars (or don't) for many reasons.
You have to be eating your own poop if you're crazy enough to pay 36k for a Jeep Compass. At 46k you're eating your poop and throwing money in the trash!
Tom research your comments one of the worse products out there
A Jeep is a Jeep…the worst vehicle quality.
Sorry!, far to expensive for unreliable American design! I think Subaru will be a much choice even on off road and in every other angles, all Japanese and Korean do better!!
Stelantis makes crap vehicles never trust an American Fiat.
Jeep has always been poor quality. Who would pay more for this over a RAV4?
Thanks!
Thanks! I can buy Martin coffee now.
