2023 Jeep Compass Gets a New Turbo-Four with Nearly 100 More Horsepower

The same 270-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four from the Dodge Hornet will make its way into the Compass, which also now comes only with all-wheel drive.

About time!

It has a different transmission as well. C&D is run by low rate hacks.

Apparently it's detuned and will only offer 200hp. Still a good improvement over the 2.4.

I wonder if turning it has something to do with that, less room for exhaust and intake, they also need to be careful not to outperform the Tonale and Hornet

The one good news item to date since the merger.

New 8 speed transmission rated to 300 Nm. That's exact number of torque made by this particular engine.

I think that's the main reason, and the Compass will still be cheaper than both of those, no?
Also, with that transmission rated to 300Nm, it probably won't be easy to just repro the engine to the numbers it has on the Hornet.

@Deckard Cain

I'm not sure about 300 NM but seeing the name of this transmission as 8F30 I would say so. In FCA's nomenclature number 8 stands for number of gears while 30 is for torque which would mean 300 Nm.

A different website offers circumstantial evidence the transmission is sourced from Hyundai.

 

[Bili]

I mean... Whomever designed this transmission it was on the plans for many years now. It's nothing which came from the clear sky.

 

[patfromigh]

I was surprised by the choice of transmission because the front drive Compass used an Aisin built unit. The previous generation used a Hyundai built 6-speed to replace the CVT, so this isn't without precedent.
