Are you on a budget but looking for a small SUV that is a reliable daily driver? Do you want an SUV with some pep in its step for weekend adventures? Consider the 2025 Jeep Compass; now in its ninth year, it remains one of Fiat Chrysler's best-selling vehicles. While there aren’t much in the way of changes for the 2025 model year, let’s take a look at what makes the Compass special!
Key Takeaways:
- The Jeep Compass’ trim levels have been streamlined for 2025—there are now four to the previous year’s five.
- The 2025 Jeep Compass has only seen minor changes—expects a possible redesign in 2026.
- The 2025 Jeep Compass starts at under $30k, which makes it a great SUV for buyers on a budget!
What Changes Have Been Made to the 2025 Jeep Compass?
Jeep has streamlined the Compass’s lineup—the Latitude Lux has been discontinued. This year's trims and starting MSRPs are:
- Sport: $27,495
- Latitude: $29,795
- Limited: $33,840
- Trailhawk: $33,990
With the exception of a limited-edition color dubbed Joose that will be available later sometime in 2025, and the Latitude’s addition of heated seats, a heated steering wheel and remote start as standard, there are no other changes.
Rumor has it since the ‘25s have so few changes, the ‘26s will be a whole different ball game—Jeep may add a hybrid powertrain or an all electric trim to the Compass’s lineup or it may be in line for a full redesign. Expect big things to come soon!
Is the 2025 Jeep Compass Powerful?
Let’s get into what’s under the hood—a pert, 200-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine that’s paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive. (The off-road-ready Trailhawk trim gets an all-wheel-drive system with a "crawler" gear ratio.) The Jeep Compass gets a decent 24 mpg/city and 32 mpg/highway. Four drive modes—Auto, Snow, Sand, and Mud—are standard on all models, while the Trailhawk also gains Rock mode.
The Compass offers a max towing capacity of 2000 pounds when properly equipped.
Is the 2025 Jeep Compass Similar to the 2024 Model Year?
The 2025 Jeep Compass is modeled after the last-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee, but is significantly smaller. It features a bold front grille and fender flares with bird-like headlights. The Trailhawk steps off the beaten path a bit in style with its unpainted bright red tow hooks that nod to its rugged sensibilities.
The Compass's interior is not overly spacious, but comfortable for four adult passengers. The back seat, while neither roomy or cramped, is notable for its high, fully supportive seat bottoms.
Cargo-wise, the Compass can handle a large grocery run and airport luggage, but it may tight for camping trips.
Does the 2025 Jeep Compass Offer An Infotainment Center?
The Compass has a easy-to-use, versatile touchscreen infotainment system measuring 8.4 inches and Includes voice recognition and navigation with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A larger 10.1-inch infotainment screen features wireless smartphone mirroring on the top three trims.
