2025 Jeep Compass Consumer Reviews

Throttle body problems
Purchased a Jeep Compass 3 months ago have had the car in for a replacement of the throttle body. Because the car would not go over 20 miles an hour. For the second time, I'm back with the same problem. The dealership is stumped on. What's causing the throttle body to be damaged and not run right? Disabling the car completely.

Best car I have ever owned
I like my 2024 Compass Trailhawk. But first, I need to politely disagree with the Edmonds reviewers. The Compass is 4WD, not AWD. When in “auto” mode (the default), power is distributed to the rear wheels only when needed. This is 4WD, which saves wear and tear on the drivetrain, and helps a little with fuel economy. Further, it has many more features unique to a 4WD vehicle, such as, 4WD lock, low range, hill ascent/descent assistance, snow/mud/sand/rock settings, and around 9 inches of ground clearance. It also has underbody protection (skid plates). While I have no plans to drive off of cliffs and through rivers with my Wrangler-owning brethren, it is good to have some of those capabilities available if needed. Edmonds also points out that this is not the most up to date styling. True. If that’s a concern, look at the Chevy Trailblazer, Honda, etc. The Compass looks like it’s from the Jeep family and that’s fine with me. The 200 HP 2.0 turbo four has plenty of power to get me over Colorado’s 10,000 ft. passes, and fuel economy is very good. I’m getting 28 MPG in town, and fully expect mid 30s as some have reported on road trips. The heated and ventilated seats are great features to help cope with temperature extremes. There’s lots of technology. Some is useful, and some is not, and can be turned off and/or ignored. WiFi with Alexa? No need. Lane departure warning? No need, turned it off. Blind spot monitoring? Nice to have. Cross traffic detection? Good to have. Forward collision detection? Too many false positives allowed in the algorithm. Learned the hard way and turned it off. The 10.1 inch screen is more than adequate for the backup camera and the GPS navigation system. I strongly prefer GPS navigation over Google Maps, since the latter only works well when there is cell phone coverage and lots of data available on your phone contract. There are still many areas in the western US where there is no cell phone coverage. I do wish that TomTom (nav provider) would keep the residential posted speed limit data up to date. I think Garmin is superior in that regard. There are a few things I don't care for. One, the black roof. which is standard on the Trailhawk. Two, the exterior color choices are sparse, and are even fewer for 2025. Last, I didn't like having to pay almost $4000 for the elite package just to have GPS navigation. I would like to see many more al a carte options, rather than fewer. If you are a soccer mom or are shopping in behalf of one, this may not be the optimal solution. Take a look at the Chevy Equinox EV, you might like it better. For me, the Compass Is a great car, best one I have ever owned, and I am very thankful for it.

Turbo!!
Love my 2023 Compass! There's only one rule for buying one. It must have the Turbo engine. It provides plenty of pickup which comes in handy when entering a freeway.

23 model latitude lux
Just bought on Monday it’s amazing so far don’t let people tell you it’s too small I’m 6’4 and have to scoot the seat up to reach the peddles it’s bigger on the inside than it looks. The backseat is comfortable and easy to get out of for my older parents (60-70) one rides up front. The turbo is amazing and I’m getting 27 mpg. I got the billet silver which changes color almost depending on angle you look at love it. The interior is black leather and those seats are so comfy I’m looking forward to driving from Alabama to Florida in the summer, a year later and 12,000 miles later still in love
