The Jeep Compass has been a popular choice in the compact SUV segment, offering a combination of style, capability and value. As we look ahead to the 2026 model year, the Compass is poised to continue its success with some notable updates and enhancements. At Musson-Patout Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in New Iberia, we're excited to give our customers a closer look at how the 2026 Jeep Compass compares to the outgoing 2025 model.
Powertrains and Performance
Both the 2025 and 2026 Jeep Compass are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine producing 200 horsepower. This proven powerplant is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth, responsive shifts. Drivers in St. Martinville who are looking for maximum traction will appreciate that the Nissan Compass comes standard with automatic full-time four-wheel drive on most trims.
Where the 2026 model sets itself apart is with some fine-tuning of the powertrain for slightly improved fuel efficiency. The 2026 Compass achieves an EPA-estimated 23 mpg city and 31 mpg highway, a modest improvement over the 2025's ratings.
Updated Exterior Styling
The Jeep Compass has always boasted a rugged yet refined aesthetic, and the 2026 model builds on this with some subtle exterior enhancements. The front and rear bumpers have been restyled for a more aggressive look, while the grille and headlights have also been updated. New wheel designs are available across the lineup, ranging from 17-inch painted aluminum on the Trailhawk to 19-inch aluminum on the Limited and Limited Altitude trims.
These changes help the 2026 Jeep Compass stand out on the roads of Loreauville, but maintain the model's iconic Jeep brand DNA and proportions.
Redesigned Interior
Inside, the 2026 Jeep Compass benefits from a host of updates aimed at enhancing comfort, convenience and technology. The center console has been redesigned for improved ergonomics and now features a larger storage bin. An available 10.1-inch touchscreen runs the latest UConnect 5 infotainment system with crisp graphics, fast processing and new features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Other notable interior updates for 2026 include new fabrics and leather upholstery options, a redesigned steering wheel with enhanced controls, and an available digital instrument cluster display. Abbeville drivers and families will appreciate the spacious accommodations, with plenty of headroom and legroom in both rows, as well as up to 59.8 cubic-feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded.
Advanced Safety Features
The 2026 Jeep Compass offers over 75 standard and available safety and security features to provide added peace of mind on the roads of Broussard and beyond. New for 2026, the Jeep Compass now comes standard with adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and automatic emergency braking across all trims.
Additional available safety technologies include a 360-degree surround view camera system, park assist, highway assist semi-autonomous driving mode and more. No matter which Jeep Compass you choose, you can drive with confidence knowing you and your passengers are well-protected.
