Jeep Compass

We are currently testing the 2025 Jeep Compass. Ratings and road test results will be available at the conclusion of testing. The Compass got a lot of changes for 2023. Jeep replaced the 2.4-liter four-cylinder, which we found to be unrefined and sluggish, with a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder, and dropped the balky nine-speed automatic in favor of an eight-speed. Four-wheel drive is standard. The Compass we tested with the 2.4-liter engine wasn't very agile, but it proved to be secure at its limits. Aside from the allure of the Jeep brand, the Compass trails the competition in several important metrics. The ride is rather stiff and jittery. The rear seat is too low and flat. Interior and exterior styling were recently updated, and the infotainment system is now the latest Uconnect system with either an 8.4-inch or a 10.1-inch screen size. AEB with pedestrian detection, AEB highway, BSW, and RCTW are standard.
