The 2025 Compass has relatively few changes for the 2025 model year, but its role in the Jeep lineup is the most significant change. This post by Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram explains further. With the discontinuation of the Jeep Renegade after the 2024 model year, the Compass Is now the entry model for the Jeep lineup. Fortunately, it fills this role nicely with a starting MSRP of just $25,900. In addition, there will be no Cherokee model for 2025, so the next step up from the Compass will be the Wrangler and then the Grand Cherokee. To fill the space, the Compass is available in four trim levels: Sport Latitude Limited Trailhawk Among the 2025 changes, the Latitude model gains the following standard features: Heated seats Heated steering wheel Remote start The only other change for 2025 is an exterior color known as Joose, which will be available later in the model year to accompany the current colors of Red Hot, Silver Zynith, Diamond Black, and Hydro Blue. The Compass is a compact crossover, the country's best-selling vehicle segment. Of the two Jeep models in this segment, the Compass was the right one to retain. It seated five, like the Cherokee, but had more significant cargo space both with the rear seat up (36 cubic feet) or with the seats folded down (60 cubic feet). At the same time, it was smaller on the outside, with 10 inches less overall length. The Compass is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 that produces 200 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic that sends power to all four wheels via the Jeep Active Drive 4x4 system. The standard Select-Drive system features Auto, Snow, and Sand/Mud modes. Any Jeep all-wheel drive system is going to be pretty adept off the pavement, but it is the Trailhawk model that is the most off-road focused model with: Jeep Active Drive with Low 4x4 class-leading 20:1 crawl ratio One-inch factory lift, Skid plates Aggressive off-road tires Jeep signature red front and rear tow hooks 30-degree approach angle, 24-degree break-over angle, and 34-degree departure angle Hill-descent Control Up to 19 inches of water fording Up to 2,000-lb. towing capability (when properly equipped) If you are looking for a compact crossover with good power and a bit more off-road cred, not to mention Jeep’s signature styling cues, check out any of the several Compass models in the Benna CDJR inventory.
