Can the 4WD Compass Go Off-Road?
1 Answers
The 4WD Compass is not suitable for off-roading. It is primarily an urban SUV model, and off-road capability is not its strong suit. The Compass's four-wheel-drive system is the same as that used in the Patriot introduced to the domestic market—a part-time four-wheel-drive system that employs an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch as the power distribution device between the front and rear axles. Besides the four-wheel-drive system, the vehicle's body and tires are also significant factors limiting its off-road performance. Body dimensions: Length, width, and height are 4415 mm, 1819 mm, and 1635 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2636 mm. Exterior: The Compass features a classic seven-slot grille, giving it high recognition, and is equipped with halogen headlights with integrated high and low beams. Powertrain: The Compass is powered by a 1.3T L4 turbocharged engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 173 PS and a peak torque of 270 Nm.
