Before the 2007 Compass, Jeep never had a front-wheel drive product in its line-up. For those looking for the added peace-of-mind all-wheel drive brings when the weather turns ugly, Jeep offers Freedom Drive I on the Compass. This all-new system sends most of the power to the front wheels for better fuel economy until sensors detect a possible loss of traction. For negotiating deep snow or dicey off-road stretches, the system also features a “Lock” mode that transfers up to 60 percent of torque to the rear wheels at low speeds.
