Used 2017 Jeep Compass for Sale near Los Angeles, CA

The all-new Jeep Compass is worth a look—especially if you want a comfortable crossover that can also tackle rough terrain.

If you want a compact crossover with some legitimate off-roading capability, the all-new Jeep Compass is worth checking out—especially if you don’t mind paying more for the Trailhawk trim. Jeep designed the new Compass to fill the niche between the tiny Renegade and the larger Cherokee. It’s smaller than a Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V, but the Compass is about the same size as the Ford Escape and Subaru Crosstrek—though it offers some options none of its competitors can match.

Before exploring the new Compass any further, it’s important to note that this Jeep thankfully shares nothing but a name with its predecessor. Confusingly, both the old and new Compasses are on sale at Jeep dealerships as 2017 models. The older car is sometimes known as the Compass X, and we recommend avoiding it. It’s unpleasantly loud, it feels cheap, and it doesn’t get the high safety ratings of its competitors.

The new Compass, however, is the perfect fit for a certain kind of buyer. Whether it’s right for you depends on your needs.
