Jeep has taken a conservative approach to the 2025 Compass, opting for minimal changes to the popular compact SUV. Priced from $25,900 for the base Sport trim, the Compass carries over its pricing structure and standard features into the new model year.
The only notable update is the introduction of a limited-run paint color, Joose, which will join the existing palette later in the year. Jeep has yet to disclose the cost of this new hue.
While trim levels remain consistent with previous years, including the Sport, Latitude, Latitude Lux, Limited, and Trailhawk, optional Altitude and High Altitude packages continue to offer enhancements for Latitude and Limited models, respectively.
These packages introduce features like larger touchscreens, upgraded styling elements, and additional technology. With no significant alterations to Compass’s core offerings, it appears Jeep is holding off on major changes, possibly reserving them for a forthcoming, fully redesigned model.
Once the exclusive domain of the iconic Charger, Challenger, and Chrysler 300, the facility is undergoing a substantial $1.32 billion transformation to become the North American manufacturing hub for the next-generation Jeep Compass.
This strategic shift aligns with Stellantis’ broader electrification goals. Built on the adaptable STLA Medium platform, the Compass and potentially other models like the Cherokee will benefit from a foundation designed to accommodate both traditional combustion engines and electric powertrains.
While sharing its underpinnings with the Peugeot 3008 and 5008, the Compass and Cherokee are anticipated to exhibit distinct characteristics tailored to the preferences of North American consumers. Production of the Compass is scheduled to commence in late 2024, with the plant eventually operating on a three-shift schedule by 2026.
