New Jeep Compass for Sale nearWautoma, WI

How much does the Jeep Compass cost in today's market?

Used Jeep Compass prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The Jeep Compass's current nationwide average price is $18,669, and its lowest point over the past year was $18,664. Recently, prices have come down for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Jeep Compass a good car?

Yes — the Jeep Compass is a solid choice if you want Jeep styling, available off-road capability, and a cabin that has become more polished in recent years. The all-generations owner rating is 4.5/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise the Compass for its comfortable interior, value for money, and safety features, and many also like its off-road capability and overall style. Recent expert feedback also points to a more refined cabin, useful tech, and a comfortable ride.

Expert reviews rate the 2023 and 2017 models among the highest across all years.

The main trade-offs are the powertrain's weaker acceleration in some years, plus steering and handling that can feel less precise than some rivals. Higher trims can also push the price up quickly.

34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Jeep Compass models reliable?

Owners and experts consistently highlight the Compass's comfort, safety features, and overall value, along with the appeal of its available off-road capability. The newer models also bring a more polished cabin and stronger tech, which helps the Compass feel more complete.

• Owners rate the Jeep Compass between 3.7 and 5 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is most tied to choosing the right year and checking condition carefully, especially on older examples with higher accident rates.

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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 78.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2021 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: Forward emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a driver attention monitor come standard.
• Infotainment: A 10.1-inch touchscreen with Uconnect 5 software comes standard, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM, 4G Wi-Fi, and USB-C ports come standard.
• Fuel efficiency: Fuel economy is EPA-estimated at 24 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined for all trim levels.

Which Jeep Compass trim should I buy?

The 2024 Jeep Compass offers these trims:

• Sport: The entry trim brings standard all-wheel drive, the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, a 10-inch infotainment screen, and a good value proposition for shoppers who want the Compass's core strengths at the lowest price.
• Latitude: This trim adds more everyday comfort and convenience equipment, making it a strong step up if you want a better-equipped Compass without moving too far up the price ladder.
• Latitude Lux: This trim adds more premium features and is the best-value choice if you want a richer cabin and more available tech.
• Limited: This trim adds more upscale equipment, including the features that make the Compass feel more polished and better suited to buyers who want a more fully loaded compact SUV.
• Altitude: This trim adds style-focused upgrades and can be a good fit if you want a more distinctive look with added convenience features.
• Trailhawk: This trim adds the Compass's off-road hardware, including a low-range transfer case, all-terrain tires, metal skid plates, and 8.6 inches of ground clearance for buyers who want the most capability.

What Jeep Compass do most buyers choose?

The Jeep Compass years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

These higher-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they combine broad availability with strong deal shares, giving you more choices at competitive prices. They also sit in the part of the lineup where the Compass has its more polished cabin, better tech, and stronger overall appeal.

What is the Jeep Compass's resale value?

Most Compass model years are showing price declines, and several of them are dropping by double digits. That creates opportunities for used buyers, especially if you're shopping recent years that have already moved down from their prior pricing. A few years are falling more slowly than others, which suggests stronger retention in the most in-demand versions.

The 2023, 2015, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Jeep Compass now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −9.16% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −15.52%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 36.4% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 36.4%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $20,262. The Jeep Compass offers Jeep styling, a comfortable ride, and a cabin that feels more polished in newer model years.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The turbo-four is rated at 200 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque, and fuel economy is EPA-estimated at 24 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined for all trim levels.
• Tech: A 10.1-inch touchscreen with Uconnect 5 software comes standard, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM, 4G Wi-Fi, and USB-C ports come standard.
• Safety: Forward emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a driver attention monitor come standard.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
