Used 2021 Jeep Compass SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

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

Which Compass trim 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.
