2017 Jeep Compass II (MP) Dimensions, Size & Specs

The width of the Jeep Compass II (MP) without the mirrors is 1819 mm (71.6 inches). When the side mirrors are folded, the width increases slightly to 1874 mm (73.8 inches), and with mirrors opened, the width ranges from 2033 mm to 2035 mm (approximately 80.0 to 80.1 inches). This means the vehicle remains compact enough for most parking spaces with folded mirrors, but the added width due to opened mirrors should be considered for narrow parking spots or tight garage entries.

The Jeep Compass II has a height that varies from 1629 mm to 1660 mm, equivalent to roughly 64.1 to 65.4 inches. This height is typical for compact SUVs. Regarding garage compatibility, most standard garages have an interior height clearance of about 2.1 to 2.4 meters (82.7 to 94.5 inches), so the Compass II will comfortably fit inside a standard garage without height clearance issues.

The curb weight of the Jeep Compass II (MP) varies between 1430 kg and 1860 kg (approximately 3150 to 4099 pounds). This range depends on the trim, equipment, and drivetrain configuration. A heavier vehicle can offer better stability and safety but may impact fuel efficiency and acceleration, whereas a lighter model may be more economical and agile. Overall, the waypoint of weight balances performance with practicality in this SUV.

The Jeep Compass II offers a ride height or ground clearance between 198 mm and 229 mm, which is about 7.8 to 9 inches. This ground clearance is competitive among compact SUVs and provides sufficient capability for light to moderate off-road driving, including traversing uneven terrain and shallow water crossings, making it versatile for both urban and adventurous uses.

The Jeep Compass II offers a luggage capacity ranging from 420 liters up to 770 liters (about 14.8 to 27.2 cubic feet) when the rear seats are upright. When the rear seats are folded down, the cargo space substantially increases to between 1230 liters and 1693 liters (around 43.5 to 59.8 cubic feet). This flexibility makes the Compass II suitable for everyday use, shopping runs, or accommodating larger cargo needs.

Compared to the first-generation Jeep Compass, the second-generation Compass II (2017-2021) generally maintains a similar footprint but offers more refined dimensions optimized for space efficiency and comfort. It typically exhibits slight increases in length and width – the length is close to 4394-4398 mm compared to previous models' shorter lengths, and the width increased notably with wider mirror dimensions facilitating better road presence and stability. Interior space and luggage capacity were also enhanced, reflecting advancements in design and consumer expectations.

The Jeep Compass II is comparably sized among compact SUVs like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Ford Escape. With a length of about 4394-4398 mm (173 inches), width around 1819 mm (71.6 inches), and height up to 1660 mm (65.4 inches), it aligns with competitors offering a balance between urban maneuverability and cabin space. While some rivals might have slightly more cargo volume or cabin length, the Compass II stands out for its off-road capability and distinctive Jeep styling.

The Jeep Compass II supports various rim sizes, including 16, 17, 18, and 19-inch options (6.5J x 16 up to 7.5J x 19). Corresponding tire sizes range from 215/65 R16, 225/60 R17, 225/55 R18, 235/45 R19, to 215/60 R17. Larger rims with lower profile tires generally provide better handling and a sportier feel on paved roads, while smaller rims with higher profile tires improve ride comfort and offer more cushion against rough surfaces, benefiting off-road traction and durability.

The Jeep Compass II features a roof load capacity of 68 kg (approximately 150 pounds). This capacity enables the vehicle to safely carry common roof-mounted items like luggage boxes, bicycles, or sports equipment. However, for heavy loads like large kayak or rooftop tents, users should stay within this limit to maintain vehicle stability and avoid damage to the roof or roof racks.
