2023 Jeep Compass MPG, Fuel Efficiency And Engine Options

A Look at 2023 Jeep Compass MPG vs. the Past

The greatest force behind Jeep Compass gas mileage is this vehicle's 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, making 200 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque. It is present in all of the vehicle's trims – Sport, Latitude, Latitude Lux, Altitude, Limited, Trailhawk, Red, and High Altitude – as is a 4x4 drivetrain to provide extra traction on slippery roads or uneven surfaces. You can even take this vehicle off-roading, especially if you opt for the Trailhawk trim, which comes with a special off-road suspension system.

This 24/32/27 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)¹ offers a difference from last year, where the entry-level trim, also called the Sport, featured a 2.4-liter engine that made 177 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque and combined it with either FWD or a 4x4 powertrain. The first resulted in an MPG rating of 22/31/25 (City/Highway/Combined);³ the second in 22/30/35 (City/Highway/Combined).⁴ This was also a change from the 180 horsepower of the 2021 model, which made 22/31/25 (City/Highway/Combined)⁵ with FWD and 22/30/35 (City/Highway/Combined).⁶ with 4WD.

As you can see, Jeep automakers do not rest on their laurels but keep on going back to the drawing board to offer their customers more — in this case, more horsepower and better fuel efficiency. We expect them to continue innovating into the future, as well.

Among the changes we hope to see in the upcoming years is a PHEV variant, which has been teased already, and which exists for other Jeep vehicles, like the Jeep Grand Cherokee. This should not only increase your Jeep Compass miles per gallon but also give you the benefit of an all-electric range. Contact our team for any developing details or to discuss the PHEVs we currently have available in our inventory.

How to Maximize Jeep Compass Fuel Economy

How we drive can matter as much as what we drive when it comes to fuel economy. Therefore, if your morning commute takes you through a lot of stop-and-go traffic near Washington, DC, it is likely that your Jeep Compass MPG will be slightly less impressive than if the roads ahead of you are always clear and easy. However, Jeep automakers are still determined to make your trips as enjoyable as possible. For example, cozy features such as heated leather-trimmed front seats and a heated steering wheel make chilly mornings more bearable.

Other features also help make your journey easier, such as remote-start capabilities and UConnect 5 on a 10.1-inch touch-screen display. Drivers can enjoy a hands-free experience through Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, allowing drivers to change their tunes or podcasts with a touch of a button. Additionally, those who enjoy taking frequent road trips can take advantage of the Adaptive Cruise Control feature for a more seamless driving experience.

In addition, there are ways to help your vehicle reach its greatest potential. Check your vehicle’s tire pressure every regularly — especially during chillier months — to make sure it is on the high end of the recommended levels. Your vehicle’s tires will heat up as you drive, impacting their psi. Underinflated tires don't roll as smoothly across the road, leading to drag that negatively affects your efficiency. You should also invest in other preventative maintenance, like oil changes, to keep your engine running at its best and reduce the risk of overheating. Luckily, we offer efficient, cost-effective services utilizing MOPAR parts at our maintenance department in Marlow Heights, MD.

Fuel economy is often tied to a vehicle's weight. Therefore, while you can and should take advantage of your Jeep Compass towing capacity if you need to move a utility trailer or want to bring an ATV with you on a weekend camping adventure, in general, avoid loading your vehicle down with items you don't need. This can range from boxes of paperwork to dog food you haven't yet relocated inside your home.

While we always recommend parking in a garage when possible, it can be especially useful on hot summer days, as it limits the amount your gas will evaporate under the baking hot sun.
