The Jeep Compass was first introduced to the public in 2006 and has since established itself as a comfortable compact crossover SUV that sits between the subcompact Renegade and the larger Cherokee in Jeep’s lineup.

While some trims of the Compass are trail rated, the vehicle is best suited for first-time Jeep buyers and those who drive primarily on the highway and city streets.

At Easterns Automotive, we boast an ever-growing inventory of Jeeps, including the Compass. Be sure to stop by a DMV dealership near you to take one for a test drive.
