The 2025 Jeep Compass delivers 4x4 performance standard across the lineup, prioritizing comfort and functionality throughout development.

The new MY Compass will see driver assistance updates, including an available semi-autonomous driving system, parallel and perpendicular park assist, Traffic Sign Recognition systems, and a 360-degree surround-view camera system.

Using these drive assistance technologies could benefit commercial fleets by preventing collisions and increasing awareness of the environment surrounding the driver's vehicle.

Trims include Sport, Latitude, Latitude LUX, Limited, and Trailhawk. Additionally, all Jeep brand vehicles in North America will offer an electrified variant by 2025.

Pricing for the 2025 Compass starts at $27,495, with Sport and Latitude trims both priced below $30,000. 

Take a Peek Under the Hood

The 2.0-liter, direct injection, turbocharged, inline four-cylinder engine provides standard 200 horsepower and 221 lb.-ft. of torque and is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Standard Selec-Terrain provides up to four modes for four-wheel-drive in various weather conditions, such as snow or mud.

The Compass offers more efficient fuel economy with engine stop-start (ESS) technology, low emissions, and quick 0-60 mph launch performance. A class-exclusive fully disconnecting rear axle and power-transfer unit (PTU) provides 4x4 models with another layer of fuel efficiency.

What's the Word on Tech?

All trims' standard driver safety and security features include:

• Drowsy Driver Detection

• Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking

• Active Lane Management

• Blind-spot Monitoring

• Rear Cross Path detection

In-cabin technology offered on the Compass includes an available 10.25 in. frameless full-color thin-film transistor (TFT) digital cluster (one of the largest in the segment, as reported by Jeep), a 10.1 in. digital infotainment touchscreen display, Uconnect 5 with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an available wireless charging pad.

Other safety features include a rear seat reminder alert and security alarm.

Restyling Design Elements and Lighting

The 2025 Compass stays true to the Jeep style, with minor redesigns of several signature components for on-road and off-road presentation.

Advanced LED lighting technology aids in nighttime driving visibility. Front LED reflector headlamps are standard on all models. Premium LED projector headlamps and taillamps are available on Latitude LUX, Limited, and Trailhawk models. LED fog lamps are available on Latitude and above.
