2025 Jeep Compass: Trims, Capability, and Which One Fits

The Compass is the Jeep for people who want the badge and the capability without the Wrangler’s compromises. Standard all-wheel drive, a genuine off-road trim, and a compact footprint that parks in downtown Rome without a fight.

Here’s how the 2025 lineup breaks down.

One Engine, Standard All-Wheel Drive

A turbocharged 2.0-liter four producing 200 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic.

All-wheel drive is standard on every trim. Not optional — standard. That’s unusual in the compact SUV class, where AWD is typically a paid upgrade, and it’s one of the stronger arguments for the Compass over its competitors.

EPA estimates come in around 24 mpg city and 32 mpg highway, which is respectable for a vehicle with all-wheel drive standard.

The Trailhawk Is the Real Jeep

If you’re buying a Compass because it’s a Jeep, this is the trim that earns it.

The Trailhawk adds a two-speed transfer case with a low range — actual off-road hardware, not a drive mode. That’s what lets you crawl a rutted trail or a steep loose grade at controlled speed rather than hoping momentum carries you.

It also brings all-terrain tires on satin-black wheels, skid plates, red tow hooks, hill descent control, and an exclusive hood decal.

For everyone else, the standard all-wheel-drive system handles gravel roads, wet grass, and winter weather without needing the extra hardware. Buy the Trailhawk if you’ll use it, not because it looks the part.

The Trims

Sport — the entry point, with 17-inch wheels, cloth seats, push-button start, and an 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen. Standard AWD included, same as every other trim.

Latitude — adds keyless entry, upgraded seating with vinyl and cloth inserts, and automatic high beams.

Latitude Lux — additional comfort and convenience content over the Latitude.

Limited — synthetic leather seating, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. The comfort trim.

Trailhawk — the off-road trim, as above.

Most buyers land on the Latitude or Limited. The Sport is genuinely well equipped for the money given that AWD is included, and it’s worth driving before you assume you need to move up.

Interior and Cargo

Seating for five, with available leather-trimmed upholstery on higher trims.

Cargo reaches 59.8 cubic feet with the rear seats folded — enough for a Costco run, camping gear, or a weekend’s luggage for four.

Uconnect runs on an 8.4-inch touchscreen in base trims with a 10.1-inch display available higher up, including wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and satellite radio. Uconnect remains one of the more intuitive systems in the segment, which matters more day to day than screen size.

Comfort features on higher trims include heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a premium sound system. In north Georgia, the heated steering wheel earns its keep about three months a year and the ventilated seats earn it the other four.

Exterior

A bold front grille with sleek body lines and modern LED headlights and taillights. Wheels run from 17 to 18 inches depending on trim, with the Trailhawk’s satin-black all-terrain setup standing apart.

Aerodynamic details including a rear spoiler and integrated air vents help stability and efficiency.

Safety

Standard across the lineup:

• Forward collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection
• Automatic emergency braking
• Lane-centering steering
• Blind-spot monitoring
• Rear cross-traffic alert
• Driver attention monitor
• Rear-seat reminder

That’s a strong standard list — several competitors charge for items in it.

Available: Jeep’s Active Driving Assist, combining adaptive cruise control with lane-centering steering, plus a 360-degree camera system and automated parking assist on higher trims.
