If you've been on the hunt for a stylish and spacious vehicle, you may have already thought about the Jeep Compass. It's a tough and impressive automobile with a host of great features, but does it have the space you need to be comfortable on even your longest drives?

Our team at B.Z. Motors Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT took the Jeep Compass for a test drive through Lewisburg, Sunbury, and Danville, PA, to see if it's spacious enough for big families no matter where they go. Read our entire Jeep Compass dimension review to see if it has what you need for your next road trip!

Interior Dimensions: Driver and Front Passenger

With seating for five, the Jeep Compass has more than enough room for everyone in your family to stretch out and relax in style without crowding each other. Front passengers will enjoy:

• 39.2 inches of headroom
• 54.1 inches of hip room
• 41.8 inches of legroom
• 56.7 inches of shoulder room

In addition to having more than enough space for all your needs, the Jeep Compass interior comes with a host of great features to make your driving experience pleasant. It gives you standard cloth or available leather low-back bucket seats that will keep you comfortable on even the longest of drives.

Thanks to the available 8-way adjustable driver and front passenger seats, you can customize your ride to suit your exact needs, so you always arrive feeling great, no matter how long the drive may have been!

These comfortable seats include lumbar support, available heating and ventilation, and a convenient driver's memory feature that locks in your seat setting so you can return to it with the press of a button.

Jeep Compass Interior Dimensions: Rear Seats

The Jeep Compass makes sure your back-seat passengers will be comfortable without being cramped, too! They get:

• 38.5 inches of headroom
• 49.2 inches of hip room
• 38.3 inches of legroom
• 55.1 inches of shoulder room

These measurements along with the front driver and passenger's seat add up to 126.7 cubic feet of space for you and your passengers to take advantage of. With five seats and plenty of room, you won't have to worry about the kids shoving each other aside-there's more than enough to go around for everyone!

There will be tons of fun in the sun along the way, too, thanks to an available Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof feature. This spans the full length of the cabin to let sunlight stream inside. For some fresh air, go ahead and open the sunroof simply with the press of a button.

Compass Cargo Dimensions

Besides having tons of room for passengers, the Jeep Compass also gives you the space you need to haul all your gear along on your next journey. Behind the second-row seats, you get 27.2 cubic feet of space to store luggage, backpacks, or sports gear.

Need even more room for your next big trip? The Jeep Compass has you covered. Just fold down the rear seats and you end up with an impressive 59.8 cubic feet of space to store everything from fishing equipment and skis to camping gear.

You can make the most of your cargo area, too, thanks to features like an adjustable cargo floor. Go ahead and store small or fragile items in the under-floor compartment. Or, lower the cargo floor height to accommodate taller items.

The 60/40 split-folding rear seats enhance versatility by allowing you to customize your interior to your cargo and passenger needs. With the available power liftgate, the hatch of your compass will pop right open with the simple press of a button on your key fob. So, just load up your car and you're ready to head out on your next adventure!

Adventure-Ready Exterior Dimensions of the Jeep Compass

Now that we've had a tour of the cabin dimensions, let's take a step back and get an outside view of the Jeep Compass. Like many Jeep SUVs, the Compass is built for adventure, so it has plenty of ground clearance.

In fact, the ground clearance will change based on your drivetrain. With standard 2-wheel drive, you'll have 7.8 inches of ground clearance. With the available Jeep Active Drive Low 4-wheel drive (4x4) feature, you'll have up to 8.5 inches of ground clearance. The available Jeep Active Drive 4x4 system gives you 8.2 inches of ground clearance to work with.

Then, of course, there's the approach angle, breakover angle, and more. You can see those dimensions below:

• Maximum approach angle: 30.3 degrees
• Maximum breakover angle: 24.4 degrees
• Maximum departure angle: 33.6 degrees
• Maximum water fording: 19 inches

Just like your ground clearance, these dimensions will vary based on drivetrain, so speak with the team at your local dealership about your off-roading needs, and they'll make sure you choose the right configuration for you.

Exterior Dimensions for Everyday Driving

Finally, let's look at the exterior dimensions that'll make a difference in your everyday driving:

• Length: 173 inches
• Width (with mirrors): 80 inches
• Maximum height (with roof rail): 65.6
• Wheelbase: 103.8 inches

The Jeep Compass sits on a 103.8-inch wheelbase, which is similar to a midsize sedan. That means that this SUV is incredibly agile when traversing difficult obstacles or even maneuvering through traffic during your daily commute. With a length of just 173 inches and a width of just 80 inches, this SUV can fit easily into parallel parking spaces.

To help you make your way into the space, the standard ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera turns your infotainment display screen into a live video feed of the area directly behind your vehicle while you're in reverse. This gives you an even clearer view of what's behind you when you're backing into a parking spot.
