Why it stands out

The 2026 Jeep Compass stands out because it blends Jeep styling with genuine compact-SUV capability, especially when properly equipped. In the buying guide, Jeep says the Compass remains the entry-level Jeep model in North America, and it is also described as the only compact SUV with low-range gearing for off-road capability when properly equipped. That combination gives it a more adventurous character than many rivals, while still keeping it positioned as an accessible Jeep.

For this generation, the Compass is much improved over the original. Jeep says it has a new chassis and powertrain developed by Fiat, and that it is five centimetres shorter yet more than six centimetres wider than the first-generation model. It also offers more cargo space at 801 litres behind the rear seats, although passenger volume is slightly reduced. The guide notes that the improvements in tech, design, and interior quality put it leagues ahead of its predecessor. At the same time, the engine story is mixed: the 2.4-litre inline-four is described as noisy, harsh, and slow, even though the six-speed manual and Aisin six-speed automatic are improvements over the troublesome ZF nine-speed automatic.

The Compass’s appeal is strongest in its off-road hardware and later updates. The all-wheel drive systems are described as very competent, with a new power transfer unit that can send up to 100% of torque to the rear wheels, and Trailhawk trims add a low-range transfer case with a 20:1 ratio. Later updates brought meaningful improvements too, including a 2022 interior redesign with new screens and an available 10.1-inch touchscreen, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For 2023, Jeep replaced the 2.4-litre engine with a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four making 200 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic that behaves much better than the previous nine-speed unit. The main drawbacks are still worth noting: earlier versions are criticised for poor acceleration and unsatisfying powertrains, and top trims can be expensive.
