• Every 2026 Compass comes with a 200-horsepower 2.0L Turbo engine, an 8-speed automatic, and 4x4 capability, so there is no underpowered base model to avoid
• Jeep rates the standard 200 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque as Best-in-Class, and Car and Driver measured 35 mpg in real-world highway testing, beating the EPA estimate by 4 mpg
• The Trailhawk is the one Trail Rated® model in the lineup, adding a 20:1 crawl ratio, 8.6 inches of ground clearance, skid plates, and Falken® WILDPEAK® all-terrain tires

Power you can feel from the first mile. The 2.0L Turbo delivers 221 lb-ft of torque at just 1,750 rpm, which means the response arrives early, exactly where you use it, pulling into traffic or climbing a grade with the family aboard.

Kelley Blue Book puts it plainly in their review: "This little Jeep doesn't skimp on power. We appreciate that all Compass models get a 200-horsepower turbo 4-cylinder engine. That's more verve than what most subcompact SUVs have, and even beats some SUVs a size larger."*

Efficiency keeps pace. The EPA rates the Compass at 23 mpg city and 31 mpg highway, and Car and Driver recorded 35 mpg in their 75-mph real-world highway test, ahead of the official number. Owner sentiment lines up with the testing, too: Kelley Blue Book reports that 93% of surveyed Compass owners recommend the vehicle.**

More capable than its size suggests, and the Trailhawk is the reason. Jeep gives it the Active Drive Low 4x4 System with a 20:1 crawl ratio, Selec-Terrain® with an exclusive Rock Mode, Hill Descent Control, off-road suspension, skid plates, and front tow hooks.

The numbers back the badge: 8.6 inches of ground clearance on Trailhawk versus 8.1 on other 4x4 models, plus 19 inches of water fording capability. Kelley Blue Book's verdict on that trim is encouraging: "Thanks to a 20:1 crawl ratio, Rock mode, an extra inch of ground clearance, off-road tires, and skid plates, it has impressive off-road capabilities."*

Inside the Compass, you get 27.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row, opening to roughly 60 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, which covers a weekend of gear or a run to the garden center. Rear-seat legroom comes in at 38.3 inches, so adults ride comfortably rather than perched.

Comfort rises quickly as you move up the lineup. Available leatherette seats with bright blue accent stitching lift the cabin, and an available panoramic sunroof opens the whole space up. New for 2026, the Trailhawk gains heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, remote start, and an 8-way power driver's seat, so the most trail-focused trim is now also one of the most livable.

The technology keeps pace with the hardware. A 10.1-inch Uconnect® touchscreen supports Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and the available 10.25-inch Digital Cluster Display is one Jeep calls unbeaten in its class. Available Alpine® Premium Audio handles the soundtrack, and the available foot-activated hands-free power liftgate earns its keep every time your arms are full.

New England drivers get practical touches as well. Rain-sensing wipers, a windshield wiper de-icer, and heated exterior mirrors come standard on every trim above base Latitude, and Adaptive Cruise Control is now standard on Limited and Trailhawk.
