Jeep Compass Four-Wheel Drive

The Jeep Compass is one of the most capable compact SUVs when it comes to off-road driving. Its four-wheel drive system gives drivers enhanced traction and control on slippery surfaces. For Floridians looking for an SUV that can handle the state's sandy trails with ease, the Jeep Compass is a top contender.

How Four Wheel Drive Works

The Jeep Compass offers two different four-wheel drive systems depending on the trim level. The Freedom Drive I system available on Sport and Latitude models provides automatic, continuous operation with no driver input required. Sensors monitor wheel slippage and automatically distribute power to the wheels with the most traction. This allows the Compass to seamlessly transition between two-wheel and four-wheel drive as conditions change.

Higher trims like the Compass Limited and Trailhawk come equipped with the more advanced Freedom Drive II system. This setup allows drivers to switch between four wheel drive modes for optimal performance on different terrains. Modes include Auto, Snow, Sand/Mud, and Rock.

Benefits of Four Wheel Drive

There are many advantages to choosing an SUV with four wheel drive capabilities like the Jeep Compass:

• Improved traction - All four wheels receive power, allowing you to confidently accelerate and climb hills.
• Enhanced control - Power is distributed to the wheels with the most grip, giving you better steering control.
• Ability to tackle tough conditions - Four-wheel drive performs well on mud, snow, ice, gravel, and other slippery surfaces.
• Increased capability off-road - The Compass can traverse sandy, rocky, and uneven terrain that would stop other vehicles.

Here in Florida, four-wheel drive allows drivers to fully experience off-roading opportunities throughout the state without getting stuck. The new Jeep Compass can take you to places such as beaches, state forests, swamps, and more. Four-wheel drive makes adventuring easy.
