All-Wheel Drive & Selectable Drive Modes

Though the 2026 Honda CR-V offers 4 Drive Modes and Intelligent Real Time AWD, the 2026 Jeep Compass offers a significantly more versatile driving experience suited to urban commutes, dirt roads, and pure-offroading in sandy, rocky, and swampy environments with Automatic All-Wheel Drive. Jeep Active 4x4 is always vigilant against wheel slip and can direct 100% of your torque as needed to help you hold your ground, while Selec-Terrain Traction Management automatically adjusts your traction and performance output based on your current terrain. The 2026 Jeep Compass’s range of Drive Modes (Auto, Snow, Sand/Mud, or available Rock) also covers more ground than the 2026 Honda CR-V’s, and for the most adventurous spirits, the 2026 Jeep Compass Trailhawk delivers Trail Rated capability that’s insulated for Water Fording.
