What’s new for the 2024 Jeep Compass?
The Compass is scheduled for some newly available features late in the model year. These include a few appearance and equipment packages, though we don’t yet know what exactly those will entail! (We will, of course, update this space when we know more.) The 2024 Compass also gets a few exterior tweaks, including a new front grille and optional 19-inch wheel designs (late availability).
How much horsepower does the 2024 Jeep Compass make?
These crossovers are small but powerful, with a turbocharged powertrain that produces 200 horsepower. All Compass models also include all-wheel drive, which makes your ride a little stickier in a tight turn and a little safer on a slick road. You can even take these small crossovers down light trails without a hitch. The Compass Trailhawk trim model comes with an even more substantial all-wheel-drive system, so you can travel through increasingly rugged off-road terrain!
Every Compass trim model comes with the same powertrain:
- Turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine (200 horsepower, 221 lb-ft of torque)
- Eight-speed automatic transmission
- All-wheel drive
Which 2024 Jeep Compass trim model should I choose?
There are five variations of the 2024 Compass: Sport, Latitude, Latitude Lux, Limited, and Trailhawk. The Sport is the best option for anyone who wants a great price on a new Compass, plus a pretty impressive list of standard features.
Your Compass Sport model comes with a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated exterior mirrors, and roof rails, among other features. The base Compass also comes with quite the collection of driver safety aids, including forward collision mitigation, blind-spot warning, lane departure mitigation, and driver attention warning. Also, a rear seat reminder lets you know if you’ve left a passenger or pet in the rear seats.
The midlevel Latitude adds to the base features with some stylish upgrades, including faux-leather seat trim and a faux-leather-wrapped steering wheel. Move up to the Latitude Lux for genuine leather upholstery, remote ignition, and heated front seats, among other luxury features. The Limited is even more luxurious, adding to the Limited Lux lineup with dual-zone automatic climate control, ambient interior lighting, and a snazzy two-tone exterior, with a black-painted roof.
If you’re shopping for a rugged performance, check out the Trailhawk. This Compass is equipped for adventure, improving traction with all-terrain tires, a raised suspension, an upgraded all-wheel drive system, and more. The Trailhawk is even pretty luxurious, featuring most of the Latitude Lux features (with the exceptions of heated front seats, the heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and remote ignition).
Is the 2024 Jeep Compass worth it?
With its low starting price of $28,400 and a very impressive standard lineup, we’d say that this small crossover is definitely worth it! If you’re shopping for a small crossover with real off-road chops, we’d also say that the Compass Trailhawk is definitely worth your money. Unlike most other models in this segment, the Trailhawk is up for anything!
