2021 Jeep Compass Review

byTravis Langness

Pros

Roomy seating for such a small vehicle
Tech interface is attractive and easy to use
Trailhawk version is highly capable off-road

ConsWhat's new

The Jeep Compass fills the gap between the Jeep Renegade in the extra-small SUV class and the Jeep Cherokee in the small SUV class. That makes it difficult to name direct competitors, though the Mazda CX-30 and Subaru Crosstrek are pretty similar in regards to size and price. In general, the Compass distinguishes itself from the pack with easy-to-use technology features, a roomy back seat and better-than-average off-road abilities.

Like other Jeeps not named Wrangler or Gladiator, the Compass is available in a Trailhawk trim level. It significantly boosts the Compass' off-road capability with underbody skid plates, all-terrain tires and a lifted suspension. Compared to most of its rivals, the Compass can get you further off the beaten path but feels a bit less refined. Is this distinctive SUV right for you? Read our Expert Rating below to learn more.

Edmunds' Expert Rating^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}
Rated for you by America’s best test team
Our verdict	7.3 / 10
The Compass isn't as quick or as fuel-efficient as some other small SUVs, and interior cargo space is a little lacking. But overall we think you'll find the Compass an agreeable pick, especially if you go for the Trailhawk version. Think of the Compass as Grand Cherokee Lite.
How does the Compass drive?	6.0
We tested the Compass Trailhawk. It will surprise you with its impressive capability when the trail gets tough. The all-terrain tires and lockable center differential are features that you won't find on most rival SUVs. But some of the things that make the Trailhawk so good off-road hurt it on pavement. Emergency braking from 60 mph took 140 feet in Edmunds testing, which we primarily attribute to the low-grip all-terrain tires. Its underwhelming handling is the same, and its 0-60 mph time of 10.1 seconds is marginal at best. The transmission can be slow to downshift too.
How comfortable is the Compass?	7.0
The Compass Trailhawk isn't the most comfortable choice in the segment, but it is a little better than average. This is true even on models without the Trailhawk's off-road-oriented tire and suspension package. The front seat cushions are firm and have adequate lateral support. The climate system's mix of buttons and touchscreen controls works great. We also like the optional heated seats and steering wheel, which get toasty. On the downside, there's a moderate amount of wind noise on the highway and, at least in the Trailhawk with its knobby tires, noticeable road noise on rougher road surfaces. Other Compass versions should be a little quieter.
How’s the interior?	7.5
The Compass' interior is straightforward with good ergonomics. All of the controls are laid out well, and the Trailhawk's drive mode dial is easy to use. The driver's seat has plenty of adjustment range. Passengers can get in and out with ease thanks to the wide doors with squared-off tops. Once inside, the Compass impresses with a spacious cabin with plenty of head- and legroom front and back. The driver has a good view of the road ahead, though the chunky roof pillars create blind spots in the rear.
How’s the tech?	8.0
While it's not a tech-heavy vehicle, the Compass proves that quality is better than quantity. The available 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen has crisp graphics and accessible menus. We also like that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on all trim levels. Voice controls are similarly impressive, though voice recognition is merely average. Still, the system interfaces with multiple aspects of the infotainment system. You can even send prewritten texts and adjust climate settings. There are many available driver assist systems, but most work just OK.
How’s the storage?	7.0
While cargo volume is on the low side for this class of SUV, the available space is useful. You''ll find multiple storage areas throughout the cabin that are perfect for small items. The armrest bin can hold large phones or a small camera, and the glovebox is decently sized. As a family vehicle, the Compass loses a few points because its child car-seat anchors are buried in the seat cushions and are hard to find and access. All-wheel-drive Compass models such as the Trailhawk can tow up to 2,000 pounds, a decent rating for this segment. To do it you'll need the optional tow kit that adds a four-pin harness and an integrated Class III hitch.
How’s the fuel economy?	7.0
The Compass Trailhawk we tested managed to get about 28 mpg on our 115-mile mixed-driving evaluation route. As such, we expect the EPA's estimate of 25 mpg in combined city/highway driving is pretty realistic. However, most rival SUVs are more fuel-efficient overall.
Is the Compass a good value?	7.0
The Trailhawk can considered a good value given its capability. But you may want to look elsewhere if a regular Compass is on your radar. Pricing can be a little higher than the norm, and warranty coverage is average.
Wildcard	8.5
For most people, going off-road is not a daily occurrence. But for enthusiasts who like getting dirty, exploring the less worn path is a genuinely enjoyable thing to do. They will happily tolerate the Trailhawk's on-road sluggishness in exchange for its surprising capability off-road. While most crossovers will reside in suburbia, Jeep infused the Compass with the right look and feel to keep drivers smiling.

Which Compass does Edmunds recommend?

Rather than going with the bare-bones Compass Sport or Latitude, we recommend buyers take a closer look at the Limited or Trailhawk trim level. The upgraded 8.4-inch touchscreen comes standard on both models, and you can add several desirable driver safety aids by selecting the Safety and Security or Advanced Safety Group.

Jeep Compass models

The 2021 Jeep Compass is a subcompact crossover available in four trim levels: Sport, Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk. There are also Altitude and 80th Anniversary Edition versions of the Latitude 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 automatic is standard on FWD models and a nine-speed automatic comes with AWD models.

Starting things out is the Sport trim. Standard equipment includes:

Steel wheels
Automatic dual-zone climate control
60/40-split rear bench seat
7-inch touchscreen infotainment system
First- and second-row USB ports
Six-speaker sound system
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration

Along with access to a few additional option packages, the Compass Latitude adds:

Alloy wheels
Roof rails
Foglights and automatic headlights
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. It builds on the Latitude equipment by adding:

Remote engine start
8.4-inch touchscreen and color information driver display
Auto-dimming rearview mirror
Power-adjustable driver's seat
Heated front seats
Heated steering wheel
Leather upholstery

The Limited also comes standard with these advanced safety features:

Blind-spot monitoring (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
Rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle behind you is about to cross your vehicle's path while in reverse)
Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Compass and the car in front)
Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
Lane keeping assist (steers the car back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)

The AWD-only Trailhawk is based on the Latitude but adds a few of the Limited's upgrades, including the larger touchscreen and safety features. You also get:

Off-road-oriented tires
Raised suspension
Underbody skid plates
Tow hooks
Hill descent control

Many of the features in upper trim levels are available on other trims via option packages. Other significant options include:

Xenon headlights
Nine-speaker Alpine premium audio system
Integrated navigation system
Power liftgate
Sunroof

4/5 stars, So let's talk about that motor and trans

Paul_L, 12/24/2020

Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)

My wife drives a Compass Limited AWD, there are tons of reviews everywhere that talk about the seating, size, comfort, whatever. Let's talk about the big bugaboo - the complaints about sluggish performance. First off, there is nothing wrong with the motor. Period. Wind it up to over 3k RPM and it will go, no question about it. Fast revving, lots of fun, plenty of passing power, pay

5/5 stars, I enjoyed this vehicle in Colorado!

MarkRegel, 06/14/2021

Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)

On a trip to Colorado last week our compact car reservation was upgraded to this Compass, a 4WD Limited. We drove it all over Colorado including I70, I25, and lots of mountain roads. We drove Independence Pass, Pikes Peak and Mt Elbert. I really enjoyed this SUV. The first thing I noticed is how solid and substantial this thing feels going over bumps. Handling on curvy mountain roads

5/5 stars, Love it!

Jeep Compass vs. the competition

2021 Jeep Compass

2020 Honda CR-V

Jeep Compass vs. Honda CR-V

The Honda CR-V is our top choice when it comes to small SUVs. It's roomier than the Compass and comes with more high-tech safety features. It also comes with a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine that provides robust acceleration and impressive fuel economy. The CR-V, though, isn't as capable as the Compass Trailhawk for off-roading. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Honda CR-V.

Compare Jeep Compass & Honda CR-V features

Jeep Compass vs. Jeep Wrangler

The Wrangler is one of the most capable off-road vehicles you can buy. It's also one of the most distinctive — how many other vehicles can you think of that have a removable roof and doors? But it sacrifices quite a bit of comfort and convenience in exchange for its off-road capability. The Compass is comparatively tame but is a better fit for what most people need from a small SUV. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Jeep Wrangler.

Compare Jeep Compass & Jeep Wrangler features

Jeep Compass vs. Ford Bronco Sport

The new Bronco Sport should be an ideal alternative to the Compass. They are similar in size, and both offer upgrades to enhance off-road capability and tackle dirt and wide-open spaces with ease. You can't get a more powerful engine upgrade on the Compass, but Ford offers an upgraded turbocharged 245-hp engine on the Bronco Sport.

2021 Jeep Compass First Impressions

by the Edmunds Experts

•03/06/2020

What is the Compass?

The Jeep Compass straddles the line between the Jeep Renegade in the extra-small SUV class and the Jeep Cherokee in the small SUV class. That makes it difficult to name direct competitors, though sizewise, it's close to crossovers such as the Honda CR-V. The Compass distinguishes itself from the pack with its better-than-average off-road abilities.

As the Jeep Compass heads into the fourth year of production since it was last redesigned, we don't expect any significant changes in terms of styling or feature content. There is a high likelihood, though, that there will be an additional engine choice. Jeep showed a plug-in hybrid variant at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show, dubbed the Compass 4xe (as in "four-by-e") — likely a U.S. version of the one it debuted at the 2019 Geneva auto show. The European version touts 31 miles of EV range for the smaller Renegade, with the electric motors driving the rear wheels. When the batteries are depleted, it'll switch to the gas engine powering the front wheels.

Jeep and other Fiat Chrysler vehicles will begin to incorporate the next-generation Uconnect infotainment system, but probably only on all-new or redesigned cars and SUVs. That means the 2021 Compass will likely continue with the current system, which remains one of the easier to use in the industry. With any luck, some of the Compass' drawbacks could be addressed for 2021. These include a weak four-cylinder engine that is exacerbated by the nine-speed transmission's slow response. It's unlikely, though, that the Compass' smaller-than-average cargo space will change for 2021.

Edmunds says

The plug-in hybrid version would be a welcome addition to a select class of competitors. The current Jeep Compass comes in sixth place in Edmunds rankings of its class. We'd be pleasantly surprised if the 2021 model can improve its position, but we're not holding our breath. Keep checking back for more information, though.

Should I lease or buy a 2021 Jeep Compass?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
