Used 2023 Jeep Compass SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Jeep Compass is a subcompact crossover available in five trim levels: Sport, Latitude, Latitude Lux, Limited and Trailhawk. All come with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (200 horsepower, 221 lb-ft of torque) that is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that drives all four wheels. Standard and optional feature highlights include:

Sport
Starting things out with:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Heated mirrors
  • Roof rails
  • 60/40-split rear bench seat
  • Cloth upholstery
  • 10.1-inch touchscreen
  • 7-inch information cluster display
  • Six-speaker sound system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (with wireless connectivity)
  • Satellite radio
  • First- and second-row USB ports
  • Adjustable load floor

The Compass Sport comes equipped with several advanced driver assist features. These include: 

  • Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
  • Rear seat reminder (alerts you to check the rear seat before exiting the vehicle)

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

  • Foglights and automatic high beams
  • Synthetic leather upholstery inserts
  • Synthetic leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Keyless ignition and entry

Latitude Lux
Upgrades the Compass with:

  • 18-inch wheels
  • Remote engine start
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Power driver's seat
  • Heated front seats
  • Leather upholstery

Limited
The Compass Limited is the most comprehensively equipped. It builds on the Latitude Lux equipment by adding:

  • Black-painted roof
  • Automatic wipers
  • Windshield wiper de-icer
  • Ambient interior lighting
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

Trailhawk
The AWD-only Trailhawk is an off-road-themed model that is based on the Latitude Lux (though it does revert to the Latitude's steering wheel and front seat configuration and doesn't come with remote engine start). Other upgrades include:

  • Black-painted roof
  • 17-inch wheels
  • Automatic wipers
  • All-terrain tires
  • Full-size spare tire
  • Raised suspension
  • Underbody skid plates
  • Tow hooks
  • Hill descent control
  • Unique AWD system with low range and Rock driving mode
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Premium cloth and leather seats with red stitching
  • Ambient interior lighting
  • Parking sensors

  • Convenience Group (Latitude and Trailhawk)

    • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Compass and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
    • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
    • Lux Driver Assist also adds dual-zone climate control, all-season floor mats and a foot-activated power liftgate
  • Driver Assist Group III (Trailhawk and Limited)

  • Elite Group (Trailhawk and Limited)
    • Convenience Group upgrades
    • 19-inch wheels (on Limited)
    • Upgraded LED headlights
    • 10.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster display

    • Heated and ventilated front-row seats
    • Heated rear seats
    • Premium leather upholstery
    • Navigation system
  • Sun and Sound Group (all models except Sport)
    • Panoramic sunroof
    • Nine-speaker Alpine audio system

Jeep will also offer a Compass (Red) Edition model for this year that is based on the Limited trim. It gets a body-color roof and side sills, along with red Jeep logos and red mirror caps, 19-inch black wheels and black leather bucket seats. Exterior color options include red (obviously), black and silver.

There are also the Altitude and High Altitude packages, which primarily add enhanced styling elements to the Latitude and Limited trims, respectively.

Which Compass trim does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest stepping up from the base Sport trim to the Latitude trim. For a little more money, the Latitude includes some niceties that make the Compass easier to live with day to day.
