2027 Jeep Compass: What's New, Trims & Price | Liberty CDJR
The short answer: The biggest change on the 2027 Jeep Compass is that adaptive cruise control with Stop and Go is now standard on every trim. Orders are open now, and Jeep.com lists a starting MSRP of $29,990 for the base Latitude, or $31,985 once you add the $1,995 destination charge that Jeep's U.S. press release includes.
Prices and features verified November 12, 2026, on Jeep.com and in Stellantis' U.S. release "What's New for 2027: Jeep Compass". Jeep.com MSRPs exclude destination, taxes, title and registration, and Jeep says pricing can change at any time. The window sticker on the vehicle is the final word.
If you've been searching "Jeep Compass 2027," here's everything that changed, what each of the five trims includes and what each one costs to start. 2027 also marks the Compass's 20th anniversary year. We're Liberty Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Hinesville. For soldiers and families at Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield, and for shoppers in Savannah, Richmond Hill, Pooler, Midway, Ludowici and Jesup, the Compass offers standard 4x4 in a compact SUV that's easy to park. This guide also answers the question we get most about a new model year: should you buy a 2026 off the lot or order a 2027?
What's new for the 2027 Jeep Compass
Stellantis' U.S. "What's New for 2027" release lists these changes:
Adaptive cruise control is standard across the lineup. Jeep.com lists Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go on every trim, starting with the base Latitude. It keeps a set gap to the vehicle ahead, which helps on long stretches of I-95 and I-16.
Wireless charging pad and second-row USB ports are now standard on Limited, Limited Altitude and Trailhawk.
New optional Premium Lighting Group adds LED headlights, taillights and fog lights on Limited, Limited Altitude and Trailhawk.
New Driver Assist Package adds a 360-degree camera and a Universal Garage Door Opener on those same three trims.
Limited Altitude is now only a $995 step up from the Limited. Jeep.com lists Limited at $34,150 and Limited Altitude at $35,145.
Four new colors, arriving later in the model year: Ghost, Copper Shino, '41 and Goldilocks.
What carries over: every 2027 Compass uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that Jeep rates at 200 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic. Jeep calls both figures best in class among standard engines. The Compass is still built at Stellantis' Toluca, Mexico, assembly plant.
Returning colors are Joose, Diamond Black, Bright White, Sting Gray, Red Hot, Hydro Blue and Fathom Blue.

Which trim should you pick?
Latitude is the value pick. With adaptive cruise, heated seats and a heated wheel now standard, it covers what most commuters want.
Latitude Altitude is for buyers who want the blacked-out look and the bigger 10.1-inch screen without moving up to Limited.
Limited is the comfort trim, with leatherette seats, a power driver's seat, the larger digital cluster and the hands-free liftgate.
Limited Altitude gets the Limited's features plus 19-inch wheels and Altitude styling. For 2027 it starts $410 below the 2026 Limited Altitude on Jeep.com.
Trailhawk is the one to get if you'll leave the pavement.
Trailhawk and Trail Rated notes
The Trailhawk is the only Trail Rated Compass. Instead of the standard Jeep Active Drive 4x4 system, it uses Jeep Active Drive Low, which Jeep says has a 20:1 crawl ratio and a class-exclusive two-speed power transfer unit. Rock mode in the Selec-Terrain traction system is exclusive to Trailhawk, and Falken WILDPEAK all-terrain tires are standard. If you want to know what the badge actually means, read our guide to Jeep Trail Rated.
Is 4WD standard, and how much can it tow?
Yes. Jeep says the Jeep Active Drive 4x4 system is standard on the 2027 Compass, and every model has the Selec-Terrain traction system with Auto, Snow, Sand and Mud modes. Jeep.com lists a standard maximum towing capacity of 2,000 lbs. Not sure how Jeep's 4x4 differs from all-wheel drive? Our AWD vs. 4WD guide explains it.
2027 Compass price and incentives
Here's how to read a Compass price:
MSRP is the manufacturer's suggested retail price. Jeep.com lists it without destination.
Destination is the factory delivery charge. Jeep's U.S. release puts it at $1,995, which is why the base Compass is $29,990 on Jeep.com but $31,985 in the press release.
Options and paint add to MSRP. Some colors cost extra, and the new Premium Lighting Group and Driver Assist Package are options.
Taxes, title and registration come on top of that.
Incentives change often, so we don't print them in this guide. For current Jeep offers, see the 2027 Compass page on Jeep.com or call our sales team. If you serve or have served, check our military incentives page for current eligibility and amounts. To estimate a monthly payment with your own numbers, use our payment calculator.
2026 vs. 2027 Compass: buy in stock or order a 2027?
Both model years share the same 2.0-liter turbo, eight-speed automatic and standard 4x4. The differences come down to features and timing:
Buy a 2026 if you need a vehicle now, or the 2026 on the lot already has the features you want. You can drive it home without waiting on a factory order. Jeep lists standard adaptive cruise across the lineup as new for 2027, so check the 2026 window sticker if you want it.
Order a 2027 if you want adaptive cruise on a Latitude, the new lighting or Driver Assist packages, one of the new colors, or a Limited Altitude at its lower 2027 starting MSRP.
Compare both on price. On Jeep.com, 2027 starting MSRPs run $440 to $590 higher than 2026 on four trims, while Limited Altitude starts $410 lower. Compare the window sticker on a 2026 with the build you'd order.
Jeep's release doesn't give a date for when 2027 models will reach dealers, so ask our sales team about ordering and timing before you decide.
Recall check: As of November 12, 2026, NHTSA lists no recalls for the 2027 Compass and one for the 2026 Compass (campaign 26V531000), which covers a rearview camera image that may not display in reverse. The fix is a free radio software update, done by a dealer or over the air. Before buying any Compass, ask us to check its VIN for open recalls, or look it up yourself at NHTSA.gov.
