2026 Jeep Compass Overview

The 2026 Jeep Compass stands as a bold statement in the compact SUV segment, measuring 173.4 inches in length, 73.8 inches in width, and 64.8 inches in height. Built on a 103.8-inch wheelbase, the 2026 Compass offers a commanding stance with 8.1 inches of ground clearance in standard trims, while the trail-rated Trailhawk variant boasts up to 8.7 inches for enhanced off-road capability. The 2026 Jeep Compass seats five passengers comfortably and cargo capacity stands at a practical 27.2 cubic feet. For 2026, Jeep has streamlined the Compass lineup to five distinct trims. The base Latitude model delivers core Jeep capability with standard all-wheel drive. The Latitude Altitude adds blacked-out styling elements for an aggressive appearance. The Limited elevates with premium materials and additional comfort. Limited Altitude combines luxury appointments with bold styling. At the top, the Trailhawk remains the most capable compact SUV in its class.

Performance

Under the hood of every 2026 Jeep Compass sits a turbocharged 2.0-liter GME-T4 inline-four engine producing 200 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 221 lb-ft of torque at 1,750 rpm. Paired with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, the powertrain combination provides confident performance. The engine employs engine stop-start technology as standard equipment to improve fuel efficiency during city driving by automatically shutting down the engine when the vehicle comes to a complete stop and instantly restarting it when the driver releases the brake pedal. All 2026 Jeep Compass models come standard with Jeep Active Drive 4×4 system, providing confident all-weather capability and enhanced traction across varying surfaces. When properly equipped, the 2026 Compass offers up to 2,000 pounds of maximum towing capacity, suitable for hauling small trailers, camping equipment, or recreational gear.

MPG

The 2026 Jeep Compass delivers competitive fuel efficiency for its segment, with EPA estimates of approximately 24 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway, and a combined rating around 26 MPG or higher. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and standard all-wheel drive. Fuel economy may vary by trim level and driving conditions, and some real-world testing has reported highway mileage as high as 35 MPG.

Top Speeds

Performance estimates suggest the 2026 Jeep Compass can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 7.5 to 7.9 seconds depending on model and testing conditions. The quarter-mile time is estimated at approximately 15.7 seconds, reflecting the Compass’s focus on balanced, real-world performance rather than straight-line speed.

Interior

The 2026 Jeep Compass interior combines functional design with modern styling and quality materials throughout the cabin. Materials include cloth upholstery on base models, premium cloth and vinyl on Latitude trims, and available leatherette with bright blue accent stitching on higher trim levels. Most models feature a Black interior, though the Limited can be customized with an elegant Black and Sepia two-tone combination. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are standard on Latitude and higher trims, while ventilated seats and massage functions are available on top-spec models. The available dual-pane panoramic sunroof is a highlight as it floods the cabin with natural light, creating an open, airy atmosphere.

Technology

Technology takes center stage in the 2026 Jeep Compass with comprehensive infotainment and connectivity features across the lineup. The standard setup includes an 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system paired with a 7-inch digital instrument display that presents customizable vehicle information clearly. Two USB-A ports and one USB-C port provide charging capabilities for multiple devices, while two 12-volt power outlets in the rear console keep passengers connected. Upgrading to Latitude or Trailhawk trims brings a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone mirroring. An available 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster elevates the driver information display with high-resolution graphics and customizable layouts that let drivers prioritize the information most relevant to their driving style.
