How much does the 2023 Jeep Compass cost?

Prices have softened 2.49% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 7,173 listings available, which suggests you should have a healthy number of options to compare.

Is the 2023 Jeep Compass a good car?

Generally — the 2023 Jeep Compass earns a 4.4/5 user rating and a 7.2/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise the stylish design, upgraded interior, and improved safety features, and many also like the larger touchscreen and advanced technology. The Compass also benefits from a clearer identity this year thanks to its standard all-wheel drive and updated powertrain. On the other hand, the expert review points to poor value for the money and a cramped back seat, so it fits you best if you care more about Jeep character, tech, and all-weather confidence than maximum space or bargain pricing.

Good and great deals account for 35.8% of listings, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 Jeep Compass reliable?

Owners rate it 4.4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a vehicle that feels stylish, upgraded, and improved in day-to-day use, with many drivers appreciating the more user-friendly tech and the sense that it is a solid compact SUV choice. The expert drive notes that the new turbocharged engine is quieter, smoother, and more refined, and that the transmission shifted flawlessly. Jeep also includes three years of complimentary scheduled maintenance through Jeep Wave, which helps reduce early ownership hassle.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the Compass still has some value and packaging compromises, so condition and maintenance history matter a lot.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Jeep Compass?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any listing you like, even if it looks clean on paper. Prioritize a close inspection of the cabin, visibility, and rear-seat space, since those are the areas where the Compass draws the most criticism. It is also smart to confirm that the tech and driver-assistance features work properly, especially on higher-trim examples.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup starts with Sport, then moves through Latitude, Latitude Lux, and Limited, with Trailhawk as the off-road-focused choice. Base trims get the new 17-inch wheel design updates, while the Trailhawk gets gloss-black wheels and the most rugged setup. If you want the best balance of equipment and value, the Latitude Lux is the trim to study closely.
• Powertrain: Every Compass gets a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 200 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive. Jeep tuned it for regular fuel and better efficiency, and the new setup is smoother and more refined than the old one.
• Safety package: Standard driver assistance includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, drowsy driver detection, and a rear-seat reminder system. Automatic high-beam headlights are standard on all but the base Sport trim, and Highway Assist is available on Trailhawk, Limited, and High Altitude.
• Infotainment: You get a 10.1-inch touchscreen with Uconnect 5, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, Bluetooth for two devices, SiriusXM, connected services, Wi-Fi access, Alexa Skill support, and over-the-air updates. A 10.25-inch digital instrument panel is available depending on trim and configuration.
• Fuel efficiency: The official EPA fuel economy rating is 27 mpg in combined driving, and the test vehicle averaged 23.8 mpg.

Which 2023 Jeep Compass trim should I buy?

The 2023 Jeep Compass is offered in 5 trim levels: Sport, Latitude, Latitude Lux, Limited, and Trailhawk.

Here's the short version:

• Sport: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core Compass formula with the new turbocharged engine, standard all-wheel drive, and the updated tech and safety equipment. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the model, but it is also the trim most likely to feel stripped compared with the others.
• Latitude: This is the first step up and a better fit if you want a more balanced everyday Compass without jumping too far in price. It adds more comfort and convenience content than Sport, and it is the trim most likely to make sense if you want a practical middle ground.
• Latitude Lux: This is the best-value trim to focus on if you want the Compass to feel more upscale without going all the way to the pricier upper trims. It builds on the nicer interior and tech story that owners like, while avoiding the most expensive versions.
• Limited: This is the most polished mainstream trim, with the richest mix of comfort, tech, and available driver assistance. It suits you if you want the most upscale on-road Compass experience and are willing to pay for it.
• Trailhawk: This is the one to choose if you want the most off-road-capable Compass. It adds Jeep Active Drive Low, a low range, a 20:1 crawl ratio, Rock mode, hill descent control, skid plates, recovery hooks, and a lifted suspension.

Automatic high beams are standard on all but the base Sport trim, and Highway Assist is available on Trailhawk, Limited, and High Altitude.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Jeep Compass?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 35.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 7,173 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.49% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 85.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $21,600, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Jeep Compass's resale value?

The current average of $22,125 sits slightly below last year's $22,689.

That softer pricing can help you as a buyer now, but it also suggests future sellers may need to stay competitive when it is time to trade in or list the vehicle. If the market continues to favor shoppers, resale values may remain under pressure unless the Compass holds demand through its tech, safety, and Jeep branding. Strong owner satisfaction can help support demand, but pricing discipline will still matter when you sell.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Jeep Compass safe?

The 2023 Compass is ineligible for a current IIHS Top Safety Pick rating until further testing is complete.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Jeep adds a standard drowsy driver detection system and a rear-seat reminder system for 2023, and the Compass also includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. Automatic high-beam headlights are standard on all but the base Sport trim, and Highway Assist is available on Trailhawk, Limited, and High Altitude. The expert review also notes that visibility can be poor because of thick windshield pillars and sun glare, which is worth keeping in mind if you test-drive one.

Should I buy a 2023 Jeep Compass or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 35.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.49% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 brings a major powertrain upgrade, standard all-wheel drive, and more safety features.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $20,247, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $22,125 average.
• It emphasizes a more premium-feeling cabin and strong technology.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $20,316, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $22,125 average.
• It keeps the powertrain upgrade and adds good tech and impressive safety features.

The bottom line: If you want the most improved Compass in this group, the 2023 is the one to target. If your priority is saving money, the 2022 and 2024 both undercut the current-year average, so they are worth cross-shopping closely.
