Jeep has always been known as a brand that can build off-road vehicles, so it was no surprise when the Compass arrived in 2007 with the same capability. However, this was the first front-wheel drive SUV offered by Jeep, making it suitable for family drives. Now in its second generation, Jeep continues to release revisions to the styling, powertrain and features, ensuring that it remains a top contender in a growing segment.

Jeep Compass generations
Second Generation (2017 to Present)
For the release of the second generation, Jeep was working in partnership with Fiat. The manufacturer decided that it was time to simplify the lineup, but added the off-road-oriented Trailhawk variant with higher ground clearance and cleverly placed skid plates.
The first update for the generation occurred in 2019, with new air intakes in the lower bumper for better cooling. It was also given a more striking appearance. In 2021, another refresh was released with some significant changes to the powertrain, including a plug-in hybrid configuration and some mild styling upgrades.

First Generation (2007 to 2015)
Jeep wanted to appeal to a broader market beyond those looking to have off-road adventures. The obvious solution was to create a crossover that could hold a family but didn't sacrifice capability. Jeep therefore released the Compass, which was a smaller version of the popular Jeep Cherokee.
A mild refresh arrived in 2011 with some styling upgrades and improved drivetrain options. Getting rid of the previously offered round headlights, the new Compass had the lamps with a horizontal design, similar to the Grand Cherokee. In some models, there was also chromed trim available for the seven-slat grille.

Used Jeep Compass FAQ's
Which is the most popular engine in the Jeep Compass?
Petrol engines have been the most popular, mainly because of the number of variants that have been available. However, the hybrid engines are going to steadily grow in popularity over the next few years with the latest models offered.
Which are the most popular model variants?
Jeep has offered the Compass in several models, such as Longitude, Night Eagle, Limited, S and Trailhawk. Even though the Trailhawk offers more off-road capability, the mid-level Limited is the most popular with its standard tinted rear windows, parking sensors and upgraded Alpine sound system.
What optional extras should I look out for?
Customers should look out for heated leather seats, 19-inch alloy wheels, an electric boot and adaptive cruise control. For off-roading, customers may also want to look for the special off-road bumpers, raised suspension and hill descent control that come with the Trailhawk model.
Is the Jeep Compass a good family car?
Because it's a compact model, the interior isn't as spacious as a full-size SUV, but there's enough room in the back for a couple of average-sized adults. The boot is also accommodating and it doesn't lose any space with the plug-in hybrid variant.
Is there a hybrid version of the Jeep Compass?
Jeep has a 4xe Plug-In Hybrid that creates a combined 236bhp and offers electric driving of up to 34 miles per charge. There's also a mild e-Hybrid model that uses a 1.5-litre engine to produce 128bhp and return a rating of 49.6mpg and CO2 emissions of 128g/km.
Is the Jeep Compass available as an automatic?
It is possible to find a used Compass with an automatic or a manual transmission. The hybrid models only come with an automatic, so it has been a more popular option overall.
Is there a four-wheel drive version available?
Yes, there's an option between front-wheel and four-wheel drive. The Trailhawk model also offers better capability with hill descent control, a raised suspension and the Rock driving mode.
