Elk Grove Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram · Jeep Compass Research
The 2027 Compass marks the model's 20th anniversary year, and orders are open now. It keeps the same five trims, engine and standard 4x4, and adds more standard driver-assist and convenience features. Here is what changes, what stays, and how it compares with the 2026 Compass on our lot.
| Feature | Latitude, Latitude Altitude | Limited, Limited Altitude, Trailhawk |
|---|---|---|
| Adaptive cruise control with Stop and Go | Standard | Standard |
| Wireless charging pad | — | Standard |
| Second-row USB ports | — | Standard |
| Premium Lighting Group: LED headlights, taillights and fog lights | — | Optional |
| Driver Assist Package: 360-degree camera, Universal Garage Door Opener | — | Optional |
The biggest change for most buyers is adaptive cruise control with Stop and Go on every trim, including the entry Latitude. It holds a set gap to the car ahead and can bring the Compass to a stop and pull away again in traffic, which takes a lot of the work out of a slow commute on I-5 or Highway 99.
The fundamentals don't change. Every 2027 Compass uses the 2.0L turbo four rated at 200 hp and 221 lb-ft with an 8-speed automatic. Jeep says those are best in class for standard horsepower and torque. Jeep Active Drive 4x4 remains standard on every trim, and the Trailhawk keeps Jeep Active Drive Low with a 20:1 crawl ratio and Rock mode.
| 2026 Compass | 2027 Compass | |
|---|---|---|
| Trims | Latitude, Latitude Altitude, Limited, Limited Altitude, Trailhawk | Same five |
| Engine | 2.0L turbo, 200 hp / 221 lb-ft | Same |
| 4x4 | Standard on every trim | Same |
| Max towing | 2,000 lb, properly equipped | Same |
| Cargo, behind rear seat / max | 27.2 / 59.8 cu ft | Same |
| Ground clearance | 8.1 in; Trailhawk 8.6 in | Same |
| Adaptive cruise with Stop and Go | Not on every trim | Standard on every trim |
| EPA mpg | 23 city / 31 hwy / 26 combined | Not yet posted by EPA |
