Jeep Compass 4x4 Systems and Capability

The 2025 Jeep Compass takes its 4x4 capabilities seriously, offering two available systems that adapt to your driving needs: Jeep Active Drive and Active Drive Low. The standard Active Drive is a full-time system that automatically sends power to the wheels with the best grip, so you never have to worry about slipping on wet roads or loose gravel. For those who want to push their Compass a bit further, Active Drive Low adds a low-range mode perfect for technical off-roading, allowing you to crawl over rocks or steep inclines at low speeds without stressing the drivetrain. Additionally, the system features a locking rear differential that enhances traction in challenging conditions, while the Selec-Speed Control provides hill descent control, allowing you to maintain a steady pace when descending on rough terrain. This blend of tech ensures the Compass can handle everything from daily drives to weekend adventures with ease.

The Selec-Terrain Traction Management system is like having a terrain specialist riding shotgun, ready to adjust your vehicle's settings with just a turn of a dial. It offers multiple modes, including Auto, Snow, Sand, Mud, and Rock, each fine-tuning engine power, transmission behavior, and traction control to match the ground beneath you. Sand mode optimizes the throttle for loose surfaces, keeping you moving without getting stuck. Mud mode enhances traction for wet and slippery off-road paths, and Rock mode provides extra torque and grip for climbing rugged surfaces. This level of customization means you can take on almost any driving challenge confidently, whether it's a muddy trail or a sandy beach.

Beyond its sophisticated 4x4 systems, the 2025 Jeep Compass is packed with features designed to enhance your off-road experience and everyday comfort. Hill Start Assist prevents rollback on steep inclines, giving you peace of mind when stopping and starting on hills. The available electronic limited-slip rear differential enhances grip when one wheel loses traction, redirecting power to the other wheel to maintain forward momentum. Ground clearance has been carefully engineered to help the Compass clear obstacles without scraping, while skid plates protect the underbody from rocks and debris. Inside, advanced safety tech like Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection keeps you aware of your surroundings, whether you're navigating tight trails or busy city streets. All these features come together to make the Compass a well-rounded SUV that's ready for any adventure you throw its way.

With its advanced 4x4 systems, customizable Selec-Terrain modes, and a suite of off-road and safety features, the 2025 Jeep Compass is built to take you confidently wherever your adventures lead. Whether you're tackling rugged trails or cruising through city streets, this SUV offers the perfect blend of capability and comfort.
