The 2023 Jeep Compass Trailhawk: before you buy

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2023 Jeep Compass Trailhawk for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2023 Jeep Compass Trailhawk before buying one.

Before you sign for the Compass

There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 49 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, forward collision avoidance and steering; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

The numbers in plain words

The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Plan on about 26 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.8 L/100 km. That works out to about $13.64 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,500 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who rents the Compass

Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

The Compass in everyday use

Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

Drive it on your own roads

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A test week in the Compass tells you more than any review. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Choosing the right one

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Compare the Trailhawk with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.64 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $136.40 at our price setting.
