Engine and Efficiency

The most important factor in determining vehicle efficiency is the engine under the hood and the corresponding powertrain configuration. For the Compass, this layout includes a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine that delivers balanced power with 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. This power is seamlessly distributed by a 6-speed automatic transmission, helping this SUV earn an EPA-estimated 22 city/31 highway MPG.

The Compass also comes configured with Engine Stop/Start Technology. This system is able to effectively detect when you’ve come to a complete stop—say, at a red light—and shut down your engine accordingly. That way, fuel is preserved. Then, when you remove your foot from the brake pedal, the engine will turn back on, allowing you to resume motion.

While performing this function, helping you earn better fuel economy, the SUV will still provide you with access to key features, like air conditioning and the radio.

A Note About Cargo and MPG

As an SUV, the Compass obviously comes ready to store cargo. Using the 27.2 cubic feet of cargo volume found behind the second row of seats, you’ll be able to store gear, bags, and more.

While you do have this cargo space available to you, it is important to remove any unnecessary items from the vehicle when you’re done transporting them. This is because they add weight to the vehicle, and added weight can lead to less-than-optimal fuel economy.

Additional Ways to Boost MPG

There are a number of other ways you can optimize MPG and ensure your Compass is running as efficiently as possible. For instance, using the available Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go can help preserve fuel, providing a smooth drive.

Additionally, keeping up with vehicle service can help ensure the MPG your Compass earns is optimal. Oil changes and tire service, in particular, can help as they play a prominent role in your SUV’s ability to run properly with optimal traction and road performance.

Some other ways to optimize MPG include:

• Avoid idling
• Plan trips out
• Avoid rush hour
• Drive smoothly
