The 2026 Jeep Compass is a compact sport utility vehicle available at Bolton CDJ in Council Grove, Kansas. This vehicle is designed to function in both urban settings and off-road environments. It serves as a standard transportation option for individuals who require a mix of daily driving capabilities and occasional outdoor use. The 2026 model year continues the established design language of the brand while providing updated technical specifications and safety features for the consumer. Engine and Mechanical Specifications The 2026 Jeep Compass is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. According to manufacturer data, this engine produces 200 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque. These mechanical figures are standard for this class of vehicle and provide the necessary force for regular driving tasks. In terms of utility, the vehicle has a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds. This allows the operator to transport small trailers or light equipment when the vehicle is properly equipped with the necessary towing hardware. The power is managed through a standard transmission system designed to balance fuel efficiency with consistent power delivery. Trim Levels and Physical Features The Compass is offered in several distinct trim levels to meet different user needs. These include the Sport, Latitude, Latitude LUX, Limited, and Trailhawk versions. Each trim level adds specific physical or functional components to the base model. Sport: This is the entry-level model. It includes the standard 2.0-liter turbo engine, 17-inch wheels, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen interface. Latitude: This trim includes "Keyless Enter ‘n Go" technology, which allows the operator to access the vehicle without a traditional key. It also features seats made of a combination of cloth and vinyl, along with fog lamps for better visibility in certain weather conditions. Latitude LUX: This version features larger 18-inch wheels. The interior includes heated leatherette seats and a remote start system, which allows the engine to be turned on from a distance.

The mechanical setup includes a specialized off-road suspension and skid plates to protect the underside of the vehicle from rocks or debris. Interior Technology and Audio Systems The interior of the 2026 Jeep Compass focuses on digital integration. The dashboard features a 10.1-inch Uconnect touchscreen. This system is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing users to connect their smartphones to the vehicle's interface. Additionally, the driver is provided with a 10.25-inch digital cluster display. This screen shows speed, fuel levels, and other vehicle health data in a digital format. For audio, the vehicle can be equipped with an available Alpine Premium Audio System. This system uses a specific speaker layout to play music or radio content throughout the cabin. Safety and Driver Assistance Safety is managed through a suite of electronic systems. The Active Driving Assist System is a primary feature. It includes adaptive cruise control, which maintains a set distance from the car in front. It also includes lane-keeping assistance, which helps the driver stay within marked road lines. For visibility, the Compass uses LED projector headlamps. These lights provide a consistent beam pattern for night driving. The vehicle also offers a foot-activated hands-free power liftgate. This feature allows the rear door to open when a sensor detects movement under the bumper, which is useful when the user is carrying items. Other interior features include a panoramic sunroof and leatherette seats with blue accent stitching.
