CardinaleWay Jeep Santa Rosa - 2026 Jeep Compass Trailhawk — Weekend-Ready Confidence for Eldridge, CA
If your calendar flips between workdays and trail days, the 2026 Jeep® Compass Trailhawk® is an easy fit. It balances compact dimensions for downtown parking with the off-road tools that make weekend plans more rewarding. The Trail Rated® badge is more than a style cue—it’s a capability promise built on tested traction, articulation, maneuverability, ground clearance, and water fording. Beneath the hood, the 2.0L Turbo engine pairs with an 8-speed automatic for responsive power, backed by Best-in-Class standard horsepower and torque so you can merge confidently and climb steadily.
Trailhawk adds the right hardware for real-world trails. Standard Falken® WILDPEAK® All-Terrain Tires and 17-inch Diamond Cut Wheels with Satin Black Pockets supply bite on gravel and stability on pavement. The available Jeep® Active Drive Low 4x4 System with a 20:1 crawl ratio helps manage steep, slow-speed obstacles, while the Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System builds in Rock Mode—exclusive to Trailhawk—for specialized throttle, shift, and torque mapping. Hill Descent Control helps you come back down with measured, automatic braking. Inside, you still enjoy heated front seats and a heated steering wheel on chilly mornings, plus the Uconnect® 5 system with an available 10.1-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay® support, and Android Auto™ compatibility.
