Jeep already made its big moves with the Wrangler a few model years ago, so 2026 is less about redesign and more about widening the menu. The underlying Wrangler formula stays the same, but the lineup grows through a steady release of special editions. That makes this a good point to step back and look at how the two most accessible trims--the Sport and Sport S--stack up this year.
The Jeep Gladiator carries into the 2026 model year with its lineup largely intact, aside from the introduction of a single special-edition variant.

The difference between them comes down to added convenience and safety equipment. Let's break down the details in this Sport S vs Sport Gladiator comparison.

They may share the same bones, but these two Jeeps are very different. Let’s break down what actually separates them so you can understand the differences when you go to the lot.

The 2025 Jeep Compass continues to stand out as one of the most affordable ways to get behind the wheel of a small, capable SUV. Now in its ninth year, the Compass hasn’t seen major physical changes for 2025, but it still delivers everything buyers expect from Jeep—style, comfort, and all-weather confidence. Let's take a look at two of its trims, the (base) Sport trim and Latitude.
