When is the 2025 Compass Release?
The 2025 Compass is currently slated for a fall 2024 release. Though losing a trim in the 2025 model year, the Compass offers a range of four trims that each look to provide a different selling point to the average consumer.
While it’s easy to get into the mindset of the 2025 Compass merely being a transitional model ahead of the 2026 Compass refresh, this year’s compass provides buyers with a rare opportunity to take home the reliable subcompact at a price low enough that it’s even cheaper than the top trims of rivals like the new for 2025 Nissan Kicks.
What are the 2025 Jeep Compass Specs?
The 2025 Compass uses the same 2.0 Liter inline 4 from last year, producing a punchy 200 horsepower at 221 pound feet of torque. This year’s Compass will garner 24 MPG city, and 32 MPG highway, about average for the subcompact class. As far as towing goes, the Compass is able to handle 2000 pounds of maximum towing capacity, putting it above its rivals the Honda CR-V and the Volkswagen Tiguan.
Furthermore, the Compass offers a limited 3 year warranty that will last buyers for 36,000 miles, with a powertrain warranty lasting for 60,000. All trims come with an 8-speed transmission as standard. All-wheel drive is also standard, making the 2025 Compass a solid choice in the subcompact class.
What trims does the 2025 Jeep Compass have?
The Compass brings a selection of 4 trims for the 2025 model. The base model, the Sport, has an MSRP of $25,900 and provides all of the features mentioned above, as well as an optional Interior Premium Package by Mopar, and power adjusting mirrors.
The Latitude 4x4 is next up, with an MSRP of $28,170, and with this bump in price adds the option for Premium LED Fog Lamps, heated seating, a heated steering wheel, and many more optional packages for the Compass. The next step is the Limited, coming at a bump in MSRP to $32,840. With this bump, though, Premium LED Taillamps, 19-inch painted Diamond Cut Aluminum Wheels, and upgraded BSW All-Season Tires. All Standard on the Limited.
The highest trim, the Trailhawk, starts at an MSRP of $32,990. The Trailhawk excels at its off-road capabilities, being particularly suited at taking on all terrains. Aside from the aesthetic changes that come with the model, a full size spare tire is standard on the Trailhawk, as well as an optional de-icer, and a specially tuned off-road suspension. Car and Driver has been quick to praise the Trailhawk, giving it high praise amongst its competitors for its off-road prowess.
Summary
Well equipped to take on all comers, the 2025 Jeep Compass is often most at home off the road rather than on it. Off Road capability can sometimes be looked at as an afterthought, but for the Compass it’s an M.O. That’s not to say that it’s lacking in any other features, as its efficiency and power combined with its welcoming price tag make the Compass an easy purchase for those in the market for a subcompact in the 2025 model year.
