The 2025 Jeep Compass should wrap up the current generation — but should you buy in?
With the small Renegade’s departure (at least for now), the Compass represents Jeep’s entry-level offering for the North American market. It’s not changing much for 2025, as the brand’s small SUV is still fairly fresh from its mid-cycle facelift and powertrain swap to a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Entry-level pricing remains the same, while the rest of the range gets a modest price bump between $100 and $270, depending on the trim.
This time around, the 2025 Jeep Compass range is about as simple as you can get, as there are only four. The Sport kicks things off, and keeps its $27,495 starting MSRP (including $1,595 destination). For that, you get standard all-wheel drive, as well as that turbo four-pot with 200 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Keep in mind, though, that if you want any color other than white, you’ll need to plan on spending at least $595 more, though the base trim’s package options are pretty much limited to accessory pieces like pedal covers, all-weather floor mats and decals.
Latitude is the next trim in the lineup, starting at $31,865 ($100 more than before). The Latitude Lux trim is gone, but you can pick up its features through the available packages on offer. The $1,995 Altitude Special Edition comes in as a package, rather than its own trim, adds in 18-inch wheels, a 10.1-inch Uconnect display, darker trim and badging and sliding sun visors with illuminated vanity mirrors. The $2,675 Convenience Group adds a host of quality-of-life features including the heated steering wheel you previously got on the Latitude Lux, while the $2,475 Driver Assistance Group upgrades the headlights, adds in adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera system, and brings in the ParkSense park assist system, as well as rain-sensing wipers and wireless smartphone charging.
Above the mid-range 2025 Jeep Compass Latitude are the $35,540 Limited and the $35,760 Trailhawk. Those trims are $200 and $270 higher than 2024, respectively. A range of packages are available for the Limited that can push the price above $40,000, including the $2,995 High Altitude Package. As for the Trailhawk, packages range from the $2,575 Convenience Group adding power adjustable front seats (yes, you do not get that as standard equipment, even on the top-end model), to the $3,275 Sun and Sound Group that’s also available on the other trims. At the top end, the $3,995 Elite Group adds in a host of tech features including a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster.
What’s next for the Compass?
Past this year, the 2026 Jeep Compass should emerge from the Brampton, Ontario plant sometime late next year. It will add an electrified option to the lineup, potentially including a fully electric model, but we’ll definitely see a hybrid powertrain. Word has it Jeep is switching the new Compass over to the STLA Medium platform, sharing its dimension with the overseas Peugeot 3008 crossover. That model is available as a plug-in hybrid as well as a full EV in the e-3008, though it’s unclear at the moment whether we’ll essentially see that car with a different body and different interior.
