2026 Jeep Compass Limited

The 2026 Jeep Compass is a compact SUV that slots below the Cherokee, offering a blend of on-road comfort and genuine off-road capability. It competes with the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Subaru Forester, but stands apart with its rugged styling and available Trailhawk trim. The turbo engine provides responsive acceleration, and the Compass handles confidently with composed body control on winding roads. The ride is generally smooth, though the suspension can feel firm over sharp bumps, a trade-off for its capable handling. The cabin is well-built with quality materials, and the rear seats offer decent space for passengers, though cargo room is modest. The Limited adds leatherette seats, heated front seats, a power liftgate, and adaptive cruise control over the Latitude Altitude. Its 2.0L I4 makes 200 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, routed through an eight-speed automatic to four-wheel drive, and it returns 26 mpg combined. The Limited's Selec-Terrain system includes Auto, Snow, and Sand/Mud modes, giving you traction control for light off-roading or winter weather.
