2020 Jeep Compass

Changes to the Compass are minimal heading into the new model year. For 2020, the Compass gains a new Velvet Red Pearl Coat exterior color and a newly available Alpine premium audio system for Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk models.

Additionally, the Safety and Security Group (Gloss Black exterior mirrors, blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic assist, ParkSense rear park assist system, rain-sensing windshield wipers and vehicle theft security alarm) and Advanced Safety Group (leather steering wheel, forward-collision warning-plus, lane-departure warning-plus, auto high-beam headlamps, adaptive cruise control, advanced brake assist, and auto-dimming rearview mirror) are both now available on the base Sport trim.

Finally, a new Luxury Seat Group (power passenger seat, memory driver seat and ventilated front seats) is optional on Limited, High Altitude and Trailhawk trims. See the 2020 Jeep Compass models for sale near you

The Trailhawk represents the Compass at its most distinctive and therefore most appealing. Alternatively, the new Upland Edition could be a good call: It offers much of the Trailhawk's look but trades capability and equipment for a lower price point. Find a Jeep Compass for sale

The Tech Group adds roof rails, rear parking sensors, body-colored door handles, proximity entry, push-button start and satellite radio.

Optional on the Sport, Latitude and Trailhawk is the Cold Weather Group that adds a windshield wiper de-icer, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and all-season floor mats, features that are also included on the Limited. Optional on the Latitude and Trailhawk is the Popular Equipment Group that adds Limited's upgraded seat adjustments and an auto-dimming mirror. A compact spare is optional on non-Trailhawk trims.

As mentioned above, the Safety and Security Group adds blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic assist, rear parking sensors, automatic wipers and remote ignition. To that offering you can add the Advanced Safety Group, which includes lane-keeping assist, automatic high beams and, when equipped with the automatic transmission, adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking.
