How much does the 2024 Jeep Compass cost?

Prices have softened 15.52% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 8,220 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2024 Jeep Compass a good car?

Yes — owners rate it 5/5, and the expert rating is 6.8/10. The model scores 8/10 across Form and function and Technology.

Owners consistently praise the smooth ride, solid build, generous cargo capacity, and user-friendly infotainment system. The turbocharged engine also gets positive attention for its performance, which fits the Compass’s role as a compact SUV that feels more polished than older versions.

The trade-offs are that some reviewers wanted more features for the price, and the expert test drive notes weaker materials quality and middling performance compared with some rivals. In practical terms, the Compass makes the most sense if you want a budget-friendly Jeep-branded compact SUV with standard all-wheel drive and a more refined cabin than older models.

Good and great deals make up 36.4% of listings, so there are still worthwhile opportunities in the market.

Is the 2024 Jeep Compass reliable?

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

The owner feedback points to a solid build and a trouble-free feel, while also highlighting the kind of dependable everyday usability that matters in long-term ownership. The expert test drive also describes the powertrain as a meaningful upgrade that helps the Compass feel more composed and easier to live with.

It also offers two years of included maintenance, which helps reduce early ownership costs. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about basic dependability and more about whether the specific vehicle was maintained well and kept in good condition.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Jeep Compass?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any listing you like, even if it appears clean at first glance. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important if you’re comparing lower-mileage examples against higher-mileage ones, since condition can vary a lot from one used SUV to another. Focus on cabin wear, tire condition, and whether the features you want are actually present on the trim you’re considering.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base Compass already brings supportive cloth seats, a large 10-inch infotainment screen, push-button start, and a cabin that feels more cohesive than older Compass models. Higher trims add more upscale equipment, but the value story is strongest in the lower trims.
• Powertrain: The Compass uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder with an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. It delivers 200 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque, with fuel economy rated at 24 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined.
• Safety package: Forward emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a driver attention monitor come standard. Adaptive cruise control is optional on Latitude Lux and Altitude trims and standard on Limited and above.
• Infotainment: A 10.1-inch touchscreen with Uconnect 5 comes standard, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM, 4G Wi-Fi, and USB-C ports. A 10.3-inch digital instrument panel is standard on the top High Altitude trim and optional on Limited and above.
• Fuel efficiency: Fuel economy is EPA-estimated at 24 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined.

Which 2024 Jeep Compass trim should I buy?

The 2024 Jeep Compass is offered in 5 trim levels: Sport, Latitude, Latitude Lux, Limited, and High Altitude.

Here's the short version:

• Sport: This is the value pick if you want the Compass’s standard all-wheel drive, turbocharged engine, and a well-equipped base cabin without paying for extras you may not need. It’s the best-value trim for most used shoppers because it delivers the core Compass formula at the lowest price.
• Latitude: This trim is the next step up if you want a little more comfort and convenience while staying away from the pricier upper trims. It makes sense if you want a more balanced daily driver without chasing luxury features.
• Latitude Lux: This is the trim to consider if you want more available comfort and tech, including access to features like adaptive cruise control, parking sensors, and a 360-degree camera. It’s a good middle ground if you want more equipment but don’t need the top-end pricing.
• Limited: This trim is the better choice if you want a more premium-feeling Compass, since it can add the digital instrument panel, Active Driving Assist, and more convenience features through packages. It suits buyers who want the most rounded mix of comfort, tech, and safety.
• High Altitude: This is the most upscale trim in the lineup, with the digital instrument panel standard and the most premium presentation. It makes sense if you want the most feature-rich Compass and are comfortable paying more for it.

Adaptive cruise control is standard on Limited and above, while parking sensors and 360-degree cameras are optional on Latitude Lux and above.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Jeep Compass?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to shop carefully and enough price softness to create opportunities.

• Deal availability: 36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 8,220 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.52% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 87.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $20,262, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Jeep Compass's resale value?

The current average of $20,262 sits slightly below last year's $23,983.

That price drop suggests the Compass has become more affordable on the used market, which can help you buy in at a lower cost today. For a future seller, that also means resale value may be more sensitive to condition, mileage, and trim choice than it would be in a stronger pricing environment.

If you keep the vehicle clean, well maintained, and well documented, you’ll be in a better position to protect value when it’s time to sell. Stronger trims and well-equipped examples may also be easier to market if they’re priced realistically.

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

Is the 2024 Jeep Compass safe?

The 2024 Jeep Compass has not been rated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The identical 2023 Compass earned a Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Forward emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a driver attention monitor come standard. Adaptive cruise control is optional on Latitude Lux and Altitude trims and standard on Limited and above, while parking sensors and 360-degree cameras are optional on Latitude Lux and above.

Should I buy a 2024 Jeep Compass or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.52% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2024 model keeps the major powertrain upgrade while adding good tech and impressive safety features.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $22,042, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $20,262 average.
• It introduced the turbocharged engine, standard all-wheel drive, and a more sophisticated transmission.

The bottom line: The 2024 is the better buy if you want the strongest mix of value, tech, and safety at a lower average price. If you’re price-sensitive, the 2023 can still make sense, but you’ll likely pay more for a model year that’s less affordable on the used market.
