Jeep Compass Specs: Capable in All Environments
You have a checklist for everything you need on your next road trip, morning commute, or camping weekend, and you don't give it a second thought because you know that the Jeep Compass specs will get you there without a hitch. The DARCARS CDJR of Silver Spring team has outlined all the important facets of this vehicle's engineering, including its athletic 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine and its 2,000-pound towing capacity, for your review. In this guide, we'll go over trim-specific details for each of this SUV's six iterations.
2026 Jeep Compass Performance
The Jeep Compass is more than an SUV – it's a fine example of an off-road-ready SUV that's also ready for the daily grind. We have a few aspects of the model's engineering to thank for that: its athletic turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, its standard AWD suspension system, its eight-speed automatic transmission, and its Selec-Terrain System.
All of these factors come together to create an SUV that can produce up to 200 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque. And if you're attempting to bring along a trailer with bikes or a pair of Jet Skis, the Jeep Compass specs can accommodate you with its standard 2,000-pound towing capacity.
The iconic ruggedness that drives the Jeep Compass design gets rounded out with a few other features: standard 4x4 on every trim and a Selec-Terrain system that helps traverse non-pavement environments.
2026 Jeep Compass Dimensions
Authentic off-road capability is hardly where the Jeep Compass specs end – it's got more to offer in terms of agile sizing and comfortable interior dimensions. Starting with the exterior, you're welcomed to a city-friendly driving experience, thanks to these dimensions:

2026 Jeep Compass Trims
So far, the Jeep Compass specs have been consistent among all six trims in the lineup. But each is a unique experience in a few pointed ways, particularly regarding their interior comforts and tech-forward features – though the Trailhawk deviates from the path by creating a truly off-road-ready experience. Explore each trim's specifics next before you shop all new Jeep inventory at DARCARS CDJR of Silver Spring.
Jeep Compass Latitude
Approachable and practical, the Jeep Compass Latitude has everything drivers love about the model. It's an appealing entry-way to the lineup, offering a sampling of what the Jeep Compass is capable of. It relies on that same 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that follows the lineup upward, but kicks off the experience with some features that get upgraded later, such as:
- Cloth seating
- An 8.4-inch touchscreen
- 17-inch wheels
- Six-speaker audio system
Plus, with a host of safety technologies, like an Active Lane-Management System and Drowsy Driver Detection, the Latitude offers peace of mind at all times.
Jeep Compass Latitude Altitude
The Jeep Compass Latitude Altitude builds upon the practical foundation laid by the Latitude with further creature comforts and aesthetic enhancements. For one, you get better road connection with 18-inch wheels at this level, and inside the cloth seating gets swapped for a set upholstered with premium cloth mixed with vinyl.
You also get more screen real estate with the 8.4-inch option from the Latitude getting upgraded to a 10.1-inch unit at this level. Plus, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ make it a breeze to get your navigation set up.
Jeep Compass 85th Anniversary Edition
The 85th Anniversary Edition is all about exclusivity and limited-time celebration. It adds a dual-pane sunroof that no other trim before it offers, and your audio entertainment gets more crisp with a standard Alpine® audio system.
Additionally, a host of 85th Anniversary Edition exclusives abound inside, including decals for the doors, a liftgate decal, special cloth seating, and floor mats for both rows. And if that weren't enough, perhaps the models' larger 19-inch wheels might be.
Jeep Compass Limited
With the Limited, the Jeep Compass starts to feel luxurious. Gone are the cloth or cloth/vinyl seats – instead, you get a Black leatherette set that feels durable and high-end. Driving it is a dream with Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go joining the roster as standard equipment. You still benefit from features on previous trims, too, such as heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and wireless Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™. Plus, additional upgrades are available for a hands-free power liftgate and a 10.25-inch digital cluster.
Jeep Compass Trailhawk
No matter the destination, the Trailhawk is ready for the ride. It beefs up the Jeep Compass muscle with a few gains:
- Trail-Rated Off-Road suspension
- Four skid plates
- Three front and rear row hooks
- Rock Mode added to the Selec-Terrain Traction Management System
- Aggressive all-terrain tires
This model also feels more exclusive with that coveted Trail-Rated badging and heated premium cloth and leather-trimmed seating with Ruby Red stitching to give it that fun-loving feel every time you slide behind the wheel.
Plus, the Trailhawk has you covered with a full-size spare tire as standard equipment – a perfect addition to its roster of features as it'll keep you covered in case you pop a flat when off the beaten path.
Jeep Compass Limited Altitude
If you're searching for the best way to approach the daily grind, the range-topping Limited Altitude may be a good fit. This trim comes with the most perks: it makes the available hands-free power liftgate standard, has signature 19-inch wheels in painted satin Granite Crystal, and drapes the seats in a premium cloth/leather upholstery that gets stitched with Ruby Red.
