The Jeep Compass is Jeep’s compact offering of an SUV, being a cost efficient luxury car that excels in its pursuit to provide versatility, comfort, and efficiency to make for a model that’s hard to pass up. In 2025, the Jeep Compass has a few new tricks up its sleeve, but are they an improvement of the 2024 model?
That’s what we’re here to find out, as in today’s article, we’ll be looking at the difference between the old and new, looking at features including the 2025 Jeep Compass’ fuel efficiency vs 2024 model, and many more.
Key Takeaways:
- The 2025 Compass shrinks the amount of trims down to 4.
- The 2024 Compass added on some mild updates - a new grill insert and all-terrain tires.
- The 2025 Model adds the new Joose paint scheme.
Does the 2025 Jeep Compass have heated seats?
Yes! Car and Driver reports that you can expect to see heated seats - as long as you upgrade to the Latitude trim. Though the Compass is dropping down to four trims this year, there’s still plenty of room for luxury. The upgrade to heated seats starts at $29,795 if you’re wanting the Latitude, but there’s room for upward mobility if that’s your game. A full list of trims reads as:
- Sport - $28,495
- Latitude - $29,795
- Limited - $33,840
- Trailhawk - $33,990
The most affordable Compass comes acceptably equipped with all-wheel drive and an 8.4-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but we recommend going one step up to the Latitude. It adds standard heated seats, a heated steering wheel, automatic high beams, proximity keyless entry, and remote start and opens the door to several options packages. Unfortunately, the only no-cost paint color the Compass offers is white. Factor in another $595 if you want something else.
How much is the Jeep Compass 2024?
For 2024, the Compass started at a price of $28,400 according to Kelley Blue Book. The Lux is an available trim for this model year, enjoying its status as a middle of the road option in the lineup, being priced just below the trailhawk and limited but just above the Latitude which it replaces, it's a comfortable model that poses a rather strong selling point for the model.
Pricing starts at $28,400 with the sport, and topped out with the offroading Trailhawk, the AWD trim with kitted out tires and a hunger for the trail.
- Sport - $27,495
- Latitude - $31,765
- Latitude Lux - $33,490
- Limited - $35,340
- Trailhawk $35,490
Trim and equipment will, naturally, impact how much you pay. The 2024 model had it’s own list of new additions, with the new grill insert giving the model an updated appearance, and new all-terrain tires for the Trailhawk which were gradually rolled out over the 2024 production run.
Is the 2025 Jeep Compass Better than the 2024 Compass?
The Compass is the perfect starter car if you’re new to the Jeep brand. Though the two models are rather similar, it's the 2025 Compass that takes the cake for us, with its new features giving it a clear undeniable edge over the 2024 model. There could always be more on the horizon, of course, but the 2025 Jeep Compass is the compact SUV to own this year. It’ll give you the full package, after all, you'll get to experience off-roading, revel in world class comfort, benefit from its efficiency, and of course, have a blast hitting the trail!
