Good news for Jeep fans looking for more power, the 2023 Jeep Compass arrives with a new, more powerful standard engine. This town-friendly subcompact SUV from Jeep is already an excellent option for singles or small, on-the-go families in Alamogordo. For 2023 it gets an upgrade with an advanced 2.0-liter Turbocharged Engine! The new engine builds on the already impressive 2022 Compass redesign and will arrive at Casa CJDR starting in the first quarter of 2023! more What does the new engine bring to the 2023 Compass? You’ll have 200 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque under the hood and a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission to harness it. That means up to 2000 lbs of towing when properly-equipped. That’s enough to get the boat out to Leasburg Dam State Park for a fishing trip. The new engine also boasts greater fuel efficiency, meaning fewer trips to the pump while you’re getting things done in Alamogordo. The Compass is easier than ever to drive with the now standard Jeep Active Drive 4×4 on all 4×4 models. That means whether it’s a trip to the local Albertsons or somewhere further off the beaten path, your Compass is up to the task. Take the Compass even further with the Trailhawk, fully optimized for off-road adventures with Jeep’s Trail Rated badge. The Compass makes a great choice for anyone looking to ditch the sedan. It makes an excellent choice when you need extra cargo space for the family, or you’re looking for a vehicle that can take you further afield than most cars can. The compact size makes it easy to maneuver around Alamogordo while you’re getting to work on Highway 70 or dropping the kids off at Yucca Elementary. Whether it’s you or the kids in the Compass, you’ll have a host of standard and available Jeep safety and driver assistance features there to back you up. The 2023 Compass can detect a drowsy driver and alert you. It can also alert you if someone is still in the back seat after parking and shutting off the engine. That is on top of the already wide array of features like a tire pressure monitoring system, available adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, and many more.

We’d like you to get to know us better. Casa has a long tradition of serving our neighbors in El Paso, and we’re excited to bring that tradition to Alamogordo. Casa began in 1969, under the stewardship of Wally Lownfield. Wally lived in El Paso all his life, went to El Paso High, and eventually attended UTEP. He served in the Navy during World War II and returned home to graduate and become a successful entrepreneur. That lead to the purchase of El Paso Ford in 1969, which was renamed Casa Ford and is still going strong today. Casa grew with the addition of what would become Casa Nissan about ten years later. During Wally Lowenfield’s time at the helm, he served on the National Dealer Council for Ford Motor Company and eventually became Chairman. Today his descendants keep up the traditions Wally started, growing the Casa Auto Group in El Paso to four dealerships, which now include Casa Kia and Casa Buick GMC, along with the original Casa Ford and Casa Nissan. These dealerships have been repeatedly recognized by their OEMs for their excellence in serving the El Paso community. The Casa Auto Group is active in El Paso with a number of community organizations and we plan to continue this tradition in Alamogordo. Casa Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is Ready to Serve Alamogordo!
