Performance and Value: Why We Love the 2025 Jeep Compass

One of the best parts of living in Florence is the fact that you can go anywhere and do anything. Cincinnati, Lexington, Louisville, and Indianapolis are all within reach, but so are Big Bone Lick State Historic Site, Perfect North Slopes, and the Appalachian Mountains. With so much opportunity available to us as Florence residents, it stands to reason we also need a vehicle that can handle city streets, highways, and dubious terrain equally well. This is probably why we see so many people looking for a Jeep Compass for sale in Florence.

The Jeep Compass is a subcompact SUV, which means it’s smaller than the Grand Cherokee or Wagoneer—but as the highly off-road capable Jeep Wrangler demonstrates, you don’t have to be a big vehicle to have huge adventures. If you tend to spend a lot of time on the pavement but gravitate toward mud, if you like the idea of all-wheel drive to get you through whatever the weather throws at you, or if you are interested in a budget-friendly vehicle that can take you nearly anywhere you’d like to go, consider this a sign to take a closer look at the 2025 Jeep Compass.

An Overview of the 2025 Compass 

The 2025 Jeep Compass comes in four trims—the Sport, Latitude, Limited, and Trailhawk—and each has standard all-wheel drive along with the brand’s Selec-Terrain traction management system, which allows you to choose a driving mode tailored to current conditions. Whether you’re looking for fossils at Big Bone Lick or a parking space at Thomas More on a Sunday night, the Compass has the right equipment for the task. 

All Compass trims have a 2.0L turbocharged inline-four engine that offers an exceptional 200 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque. Not only are these best-in-class standard horsepower and torque figures for an SUV of its size, but these figures will afford you 2,000 lbs of towing capacity if properly equipped, which is an unheard-of amount of towing capacity for a subcompact SUV.

Unlike many subcompact SUVs, the 2025 Compass includes plenty of room in the front and rear seats, with rear legroom measuring 38.3 inches—again, an unheard-of figure for this segment. With all seats occupied, you’ll have 27.2 cu.ft. of cargo space for luggage, groceries, camping gear, etcetera. With the rear seat folded, you’ll have 59.8 cu.ft. of space to help move larger items or extend your camping trip another week.

The Exhilarating Trailhawk Trim

While all 2025 Compass trims are capable of handling dirt, gravel, mud, rain, and the potholes of early spring, the Compass Trailhawk is specifically outfitted for off-road duty with extra features both inside and out.

All Jeep Compass trims are outfitted with a specialized all-wheel drivetrain, but the Trailhawk takes that a step further with a custom off-road suspension system. The Trailhawk is also prepared for rugged terrain with skid plates covering the front suspension, fuel tank, transmission, and transfer case. One rear and two front red tow hooks aid in recovery efforts when the mud gets a little deeper than you expected. 

The interior of the 2025 Compass Trailhawk is also practical, with premium bucket seats upholstered in leather to keep you and your co-pilot comfortably contained for the duration of the trail. You also get standard all-season floor mats to keep the weather mess contained.

If your driving habits extend beyond the pavement, the Trailhawk trim is equipped with all the necessities for trail life and driving on the wild side, but there are other options, as well.

Our Favorite Convenience Features

While the Compass Trailhawk has what it takes to earn a Trail Rated badge, it’s not the only Jeep Compass with a distinct personality. 

The Sport trim is the most utilitarian of the group, but not without a little fun. It is outfitted with Jeep’s Uconnect 5 infotainment system, which is accessed via an 8.4-inch touchscreen and includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Standard underfloor cargo storage is a big help, as is the full array of standard driver assistance technology, such as Full-Speed Forward-Collision Warning Plus and the Jeep ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera.

The Compass Latitude is designed for drivers who want a little more excitement without breaking the budget. Upgraded features like premium cloth and vinyl bucket seats with built-in heating, a leather-wrapped shift knob, and a heated steering wheel make the cabin that much cozier, especially when a cold snap comes through our part of Kentucky. 

The 2025 Jeep Compass Limited extends every possible luxury to drivers—again, without a high price tag. A heated leatherette driver’s seat is power-adjustable for ultimate comfort, and it includes a two-way lumbar adjustment. The infotainment screen grows to a massive 10.1-inch unit that can be outfitted with a Wi-Fi hotspot, integrated voice control, Alexa Built-In, and HD radio. Dual-zone auto temperature control, adaptive cruise control, and an automatic-dimming rear-view mirror come standard to provide drivers with all of today’s modern conveniences. 

Customize It to Meet Your Needs

Jeep realizes that not all drivers have the same needs, whether on the road or off of it. As a result, they offer several finely cultivated packages to help drivers equip exactly the features they need for their daily travels. 

While the Latitude trim comes well-equipped, drivers can add more helpful features to their ride with the Driver Assistance Group. This adds features that are as helpful in the Costco parking lot as they are on Indian Creek Drive, such as a 360-degree Surround-View Camera System, adaptive cruise control, parallel and perpendicular parking assistance, rain-sensitive windshield wipers, and a wireless charging pad. 

Or perhaps you’re looking for a worry-free driving experience, in which case the Convenience Group might be ideal for you. Adding all-season floor mats, a foot-activated automatic power liftgate, second-row USB charging ports, and a windshield wiper de-icer, this package is a boon to drivers who are constantly on the go. 

Even the Limited trim can be updated; the High Altitude Package adds a 10.25-inch color driver information display, a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, and a premium Alpine audio system to the already luxurious cabin, along with custom body-color features on the exterior of the Compass.
