Don White's Timonium Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram

Offering fuel economy of up to 29 miles per gallon (mpg) highway and unsurpassed 4x4 off-road capability in the compact-SUV segment, the 2012 Jeep® Compass features a sophisticated design, with cues coming directly from the brand's premium icon, the legendary Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Coupled with a tasteful interior and refined ride and handling characteristics that excel in all conditions, Jeep Compass offers a unique blend of premium styling, capability, efficiency and value that is unmatched in the compact-SUV segment.

New for 2012, the Jeep Compass sports three new exterior colors: True Blue Pearl Coat, Copperhead Pearl Coat and Rescue Green Pearl Coat. Calibration improvements to the available continuously- variable transmission II (CVT2) provide drivers with better launch acceleration, smoother deceleration when coasting from 25 miles per hour (mph), improved pedal responsiveness and reduced engine revolutions per minute (rpm) when accelerating at mid-throttle.
