It doesn't look good for the Compass. It needs the 2.0T and low range of the Cherokee, plus more aggressive tires for the Trailhawk.
Alternatively there could be a low cost 2.0T Cherokee Trailhawk without all the bells and whistles that push up the price.
For a more forward looking alternative, they could try a hybrid SUV on EMP2. Electric motor torque is great.
