2023 Jeep Compass

The Compass is available in five trims: Sport, Latitude, Latitude Lux, Trailhawk, and Limited. Starting prices range from $31,590 to $37,340.

All trims feature a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 200 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque (up from last year’s 180 hp and 173 lb-ft from a 2.4-liter engine) that is sent through an eight-speed automatic transmission (replacing last year’s nine-speed) and down to the automatic all-wheel drive system (newly standard on all trims). The Trailhawk model features revised final gearing for better low-speed off-road performance and an additional, rock crawl terrain mode.

In a win-win result, the more powerful engine helps return better fuel economy than before with an EPA-estimated 24 miles per gallon city, 32 mpg highway, and 27 combined which the government estimates will save a little over $100 annually in fuel costs.

Only the Trailhawk receives a 2,000 maximum towing rating.

The Compass is unchanged in size and its 173.4-inch length and 74-inch width place it within an inch or two of the Ford Bronco Sport. Interior space is also similarly matched with 38.3 inches of rear legroom, 27.2 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row, and 60 cubic feet of total cargo space with the rear seat folded.

The Compass Trailhawk serves up the best off-road clearance dimensions with 8.6 inches of ground clearance, 30.4 degrees of approach angle, 23.6 degrees for the break-over angle, and 34 degrees for the departure angle. These are nearly identical to the Bronco Sport’s off-road enhanced Badlands trim.

The base trim features the active safety equipment essentials with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot detection with rear cross-traffic alert, and lane keep assist. The Latitude gains automatic high beams and offers the Driver Assistance Group ($1,795) that adds full-speed adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors with parking assist, a surround-view camera, and rain-sensing wipers. Each trim offers a slightly different version of the Driver Assistance Group and the Trailhawk and Limited trims will offer an advanced highway driving assist system later in the year.

The 2023 Compass has not yet been evaluated by NHTSA or IIHS.

All trims are equipped with a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, SiriusXM, and Amazon Alexa, and offer additional USB ports and wireless charging through the Driver Assistance and Convenience Groups.

The entry-level trim features 17-inch alloy wheels, chrome window trim and grille rings, LED headlights, power-adjustable heated mirrors, power windows, cloth seats, a six-way manually adjustable driver’s seat, a seven-inch driver information display, cruise control, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, and rear passenger HVAC vents.

There are no significant option packages offered.

The Latitude trim gains body-color door handles, cornering front fog lights, black roof rails, proximity entry, vinyl seats with cloth inserts, and a synthetic leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Convenience Group ($1,995) offers a power tailgate, a heated wiper park area, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, an eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat, and dual-zone climate control. This package must first be ordered before the Driver Assist Group can be selected.

The $2,580 Sun and Sound Group installs a dual-pane panoramic sunroof and a premium sound system.

The Altitude Package is $1,795 and includes a dark styling theme with gloss black grille rings, window trim, roof panel, lower front and rear bumpers, 18-inch wheels, and interior accents.

The Latitude LUX trim is equipped with 18-inch wheels, leather seats with perforated inserts, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, an eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat, and a remote engine start system.

The Lux Driver Assist Group is priced at $2,370 and additionally features a hands-free power tailgate, dual-zone climate control, LED fog lights, and additional charge ports.

The Sun and Sound Group is again available and must be ordered to access the Premium Lighting Group for $995 which installs upgraded LED headlights and tail lights.

The Trailhawk brings more off-road capability with off-road suspension tuning, a one-inch increased ride height, skid plates, red tow hooks, hill descent control, and revised front and rear bumpers. It also wears gloss-black 17-inch wheels, black a-pillars and roof panel, black window trim, red and black accents and decals, a Trail Rated badge, and mirrors with integrated turn signals. The interior features gloss black trim, automatic dual-zone climate control, red accent stitching, and a logo embroidered on the seat back.

The Driver Assist Group is $2,640 and the Elite Group ($3,235) takes the Convenience Package a step further with a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster, driver’s seat memory, an eight-way power passenger seat, premium exterior lighting, leather-trimmed seats, and navigation.

The Limited trim builds off of the Latitude Lux trim and applies silver bumper accents, a gloss black grille surround, unique 18-inch machined wheels, and chrome interior trim. The Elite Group is offered for $2,995.

The High Altitude Package is available for $2,845 and includes a number of unique exterior touches such as 19-inch wheels, gray badging, grille rings, and fog lamp bezels, gloss black window trim, roof rails, and grille surround, body-color painted front and rear lower bumpers and fender flares, and an interior with black leather seats with contrast gray stitching and piano black trim.

The (RED) Edition is a $1,945 package with body-color exterior trim and roof panel.
