2024 Jeep Compass: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2024 Jeep Compass is a reshuffled trim lineup: Sport joins the range, while Altitude, High Altitude, Red Edition, and Base leave. Beyond that, this is a light update with a revised grille treatment and new wheel designs rather than a redesign.
About the 2024 Jeep Compass
2nd generation Compass (introduced for 2017); 2024 is a late-cycle minor styling update after the 2023 powertrain overhaul.
The Compass is Jeep’s compact SUV for shoppers who want everyday size and comfort but do not want to give up standard 4x4 traction. Jeep markets it around confident all-weather driving, a punchy turbo engine, trail credibility in Trailhawk form, and a modern cabin with a large touchscreen. Against rivals, its clearest difference is that even the basic Compass delivers standard 4x4 hardware and a stronger off-road personality than most small crossovers.
The 2024 Compass ranges from the straightforward Sport to the comfort-focused Latitude Lux and upscale Limited. Every trim has standard four-wheel drive and a 10.1-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while Trailhawk adds a low-range four-wheel-drive system, extra ground clearance, skid plates, and other off-road hardware.

2024 Jeep Compass Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2024 Jeep Compass.
3.9
2024 Jeep Compass
(81 reviews)
“The transmission is very jerky and jumpy when shifting between 15mph to 30mph, unless the gas is pressed hard, which is hard when getting onto the highway or slowly accelerating. I took it in, and they did nothing and said that's normal. They need to get a computer update for this! Also, the a/c gets warm when sitting stopped at a stoplight or stopped.”
“The car is ok-would have liked a 6 cylinder but NO LONGER make them as a Jeep Cherokee-disappointed-loved the room in them and Jeep Grand Cherokee is too large. Jeep needs to make a vehicle that is in between them”
