Jeep has a very loyal following, which makes the Jeep Compass a vehicle worth considering for those interested in the brand’s compact SUV. Introduced in 2007, the Jeep Compass is larger than the Wrangler and Renegade but smaller than the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee.
Though it doesn’t top the list of best compact SUVs, drivers enjoy the Compass’ excellent off-roading capabilities; the Jeep brand as a whole prides itself on vehicles that are “designed and built for the off-road world.” The Compass rates well in terms of fuel economy and is available in a variety of trim models.
According to U.S. News & World Report, the Jeep Compass was fully redesigned in 2017 with no major changes in 2018. In 2019, a touch screen and adaptive cruise control were added, with the base trim acquiring advanced safety features in 2020. The manual transmission was discontinued for 2021, the same year the 80th anniversary limited edition model made its entrance.
