Jeep has made adaptive cruise control standard across the entire 2027 Compass lineup, a feature that previously required a higher trim or option package. Orders for the 2027 Compass are open now, with pricing starting at $31,985 including a $1,995 destination charge.
Why it matters
Standardizing adaptive cruise control lowers the cost of entry for a driver-assistance feature that buyers previously had to pay extra to add. The update also brings standard wireless smartphone charging and second-row USB ports to the Limited, Limited Altitude, and Trailhawk trims.
The 2.0-liter turbo engine produces 200 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission. Pricing starts at $31,985 including a $1,995 destination charge, and the Limited Altitude trim carries a $995 premium over the Limited.
