Everything You Need To Know About The 2025 Jeep® Compass

As the third best-selling nameplate in the Jeep® lineup in the United States, the Compass is undeniably essential. Since its introduction in 2017, the Compass has continuously improved, solidifying its importance. As the most affordable Jeep currently available, the Compass is crucial in the American adventurer brand’s offerings.

With the Brampton Assembly Plant in Ontario getting retooled to produce the next-generation Compass in Q4 2025, Jeep has provided details on what appears to be the final year for the current Compass model.

Standard 4×4 Capability – 

Jeep’s renowned 4×4 performance is standard across the entire Compass lineup. All models come equipped with the Jeep Active Drive 4×4 system, while the Trailhawk variant boasts the Jeep Active Drive Low 4×4 system with a class-leading 20:1 crawl ratio. The Selec-Terrain system offers up to four driving modes (Auto, Snow, Sand/Mud), with the Trailhawk adding a Rock mode for enhanced off-road performance.

Performance and Engine –

At the heart of the 2025 Compass is a 2.0-liter, direct injection, turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine. This powerhouse delivers best-in-class standard horsepower at 200 horsepower and torque at 221 lb.-ft., paired with a highly efficient eight-speed automatic transmission. This combination provides excellent fuel economy, low emissions, quick 0-60 mph acceleration, and enhanced drivability. Additionally, the Compass features engine stop-start (ESS) technology to optimize fuel efficiency further.

Design and Styling – 

The exterior of the 2025 Compass combines premium craftsmanship with iconic Jeep styling. Recent updates to several signature components have given the Compass a refreshed look that balances on-road sophistication with off-road ruggedness.

Premium LED projector headlamps, taillamps, and LED fog lamps are available on higher trims.

The High Altitude Edition features a sophisticated exterior with body-color painted front and rear lower fascias, Neutral Grey accents, painted side flares, a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, a full suite of premium LED lighting, and stylish 19-inch painted Granite Crystal aluminum wheels. Exterior paint options for this edition include Diamond Black, Bright White, Silver Zynith, and Red Hot.

Inside, the Compass offers an array of advanced technologies and features designed for comfort and convenience. The most technologically advanced Compass ever includes an available 10.25-inch frameless full-color thin-film transistor (TFT) digital cluster and a 10.1-inch digital infotainment touchscreen. The Uconnect 5 system, standard on all models, supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and offers a wireless charging pad.

Safety and Security – 

Safety is a top priority for the 2025 Compass, which boasts more than 80 standard and available safety and security features. Drowsy driver detection, pedestrian automatic emergency brake, active lane management, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-path detection are standard across all trims. Advanced safety features include an available semi-autonomous driving system, parallel and perpendicular park assist, Traffic Sign Recognition systems, and a 360-degree surround-view camera system.
