The 2026 Jeep Compass steps into the year with meaningful upgrades across performance, design, and technology—making it a compact SUV that not only looks great, but delivers more value and capability for daily driving.
1. Standard Turbo Power for All
One of the biggest changes: every Compass now comes standard with a 2.0 liter turbocharged inline 4 engine, delivering around 200 hp and 221 lb ft of torque. With that upgrade, acceleration and responsiveness get a noticeable bump—and Jeep has simplified the engine options to make sure you get the performance without guesswork.
2. All Wheel Drive Comes Standard
For 2026, the Compass includes all wheel drive as standard across the lineup. That’s a strong advantage for buyers who deal with changing weather, varied terrain, or simply want more traction and confidence on the road—no need to upgrade for AWD.
3. Bold New Look & More Style Options
The exterior styling has been refreshed with sharper lines, a more upright front end, the seven slot Jeep grille with darker accents, and new available colors and wheel designs. Inside, the cabin gets modernized with improved materials, a more refined feel, and enhanced comfort features like:
- Heated front seats and heated steering wheel standard across trims.
- Larger touchscreen options, new infotainment layout and connectivity upgrades for a cleaner, tech forward experience.
4. Tech & Safety That Keep You Ahead
Jeep has enhanced the Compass’s standard and available tech to deliver more everyday value:
- An upgraded infotainment experience including larger screens and better integration
- Improved driver assist features and standard content to help keep you safe, confident and comfortable on each drive.
- Comfort features that make daily driving and commuting smoother—features previously found only on higher trims now trickle down.
5. Ready for Your Lifestyle
Whether you’re navigating city streets, commuting into work, or planning weekend escapes, the 2026 Compass is designed with versatility in mind:
- Standard AWD and turbo power make it well suited to a variety of conditions.
- A refined interior and improved tech mean it works for family use, commuting, and weekend trips.
