Jeep Raises 2026 Compass Prices Following Last Year’s Cuts
After slashing prices on the Compass for the 2025 model year, including a reduction of more than $6,000 on the base model, we thought Jeep had gotten the message: its vehicles are expensive and that's a big part of why sales are falling.
But old habits die hard, as they say. The company quietly adjusted prices during 2025, and it’s raising them again with the 2026 Compass, which is now available to order.

Has the equipment changed? No. The design? No either. The only thing new for 2026 is the addition of two body colours including "Joose" (orange), offered for a limited time, and "Fathom Blue."
It should be noted, however, that some models come with manufacturer discounts, although these are not as generous now as they were for the 2025 models, obviously. We're talking about $2,000 for the North and $2,500 for the Altitude and Trailhawk.
In the case of the top-of-the-line Compass Limited, the price is quite high for a compact SUV that is smaller than average and does not feature an electrified powertrain.
Despite getting long in the tooth and being poorly rated by our team at The Car Guide, the Compass happens to be one of only two Jeeps that have seen their sales increase so far this year (20% in Canada), along with the Wagoneer.
Earlier this fall, the Compass made headlines when Stellantis announced that the next generation will not be assembled in Brampton, Ontario as planned two years ago following the agreement reached between Stellantis and the auto workers' unions, but rather in Belvidere, Illinois, which has been inactive since the discontinuation of the Jeep Cherokee in 2023.
The Belvidere plant will reopen in 2027 to produce not only the next Compass, but also the new Cherokee (after a short stint in Mexico). Tariffs imposed by the U.S. administration are one of the main reasons.
