The 2020 Jeep Compass is a subcompact crossover available in four trim levels: Sport, Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk. There are also Altitude and High Altitude versions of the Latitude and Limited, respectively, that add unique exterior accents and a few extra features. All come with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine (180 horsepower, 175 lb-ft of torque). Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional on all Compasses except the Trailhawk, which comes standard with AWD. A six-speed manual transmission is available on the Sport and the Latitude, but most Compasses you will come across will have either a six-speed (for front-wheel-drive models) or a nine-speed automatic (AWD models only).
Starting things out is the Sport trim. Standard equipment highlights include heated mirrors, automatic dual-zone climate control, height-adjustable front seats, a 60/40-split rear bench, a 7-inch touchscreen, first- and second-row USB ports, and a six-speaker sound system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality.
Compared to the Sport, the Compass Latitude has alloy wheels, roof rails, rear air vents, upgraded cloth and simulated leather seat upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, keyless ignition and entry, satellite radio and more option packages.
From there, you can choose between the luxe Limited and the off-road-focused Trailhawk.
The
Compass Limited is the most comprehensively equipped. Standout features include
remote engine start, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, a color information display, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a power driver's seat, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, leather upholstery and a 115-volt household-style power outlet.The AWD-only Trailhawk is based on the Latitude but adds a few of the Limited's upgrades, including the larger touchscreen. You also get off-road-oriented tires, a raised suspension, skid plates and a Selec-Terrain system to help the Compass crawl up steep ascents and over rocky surfaces.
Many of the features in upper trim levels are available on other trims via option packages. Other notable packages include the
Safety and Security Group and Advanced Safety Group, both of which add advanced driver safety aids. Other
popular options, depending on the trim level, include a navigation system, a sunroof, a premium nine-speaker Alpine audio system, a power liftgate and xenon headlights.
