Every published dimension, weight, capacity and rating for the 2026 Compass, with the trim each figure belongs to.
The 2026 Jeep Compass is 173.4 inches long on a 103.8-inch wheelbase, weighs 3,620 pounds and carries 8.1 inches of ground clearance. This page carries the full published specifications, scoped to the trim each figure actually applies to. If you are cross-shopping from Dover, York or Berwick and want the hard numbers before you drive down to Portsmouth, this is the page to read. Where a number differs between the Trailhawk and the rest of the range, both are shown rather than averaged. For what the trims cost and what they include, see the trims compared page; for the whole car in plain terms, the Compass overview.

The Trailhawk carries 220 pounds more than the rest of the range, which is the skid plates, the off-road suspension, the all-terrain tires and the full-size spare. No payload figure appears in this table; the reason is in the FAQ below.

| Trim | Wheel | Tire |
|---|---|---|
| Latitude | 17-inch aluminum | 225/60R17 |
| Latitude Altitude | 18-inch gloss black aluminum | 225/55R18 |
| 85th Anniversary Edition | 19-inch Steel Oxide aluminum | 235/45R19 |
| Limited | 18-inch diamond-cut aluminum, gloss black pockets | 225/55R18 |
| Trailhawk | 17-inch painted black aluminum | 215/65R17 Falken WildPeak All-Terrain |
| Limited Altitude | 19-inch Satin Granite Crystal aluminum | 235/45R19 |
The Trailhawk is the only trim on an all-terrain tire, and also the only one with a full-size spare. Note the sidewall difference across the range: the 19-inch trims run a 45-series tire against the 17-inch Latitude's 60-series, which is a meaningful gap in how much the tire absorbs before the suspension has to.
| Drivetrain | City | Highway | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| Four-wheel drive, 2.0L turbo, eight-speed automatic | 23 mpg | 31 mpg | 26 mpg |
EPA estimates from fueleconomy.gov. Actual mileage varies.
One drivetrain is certified for 2026, so this rating covers every trim. On a 13.5-gallon tank the combined rating works out to roughly 350 miles between fills in mixed driving, less in winter and on short trips.

S = standard · O = available · — = not standard equipment. On the Latitude Altitude that larger display comes bundled in the Altitude package content. Full per-trim detail is on the trims compared page.
Standard on every trim: seven airbags, full-speed forward collision warning with active braking, pedestrian and cyclist emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection, the Active Lane Management System, drowsy driver detection, the ParkView Rear Back Up Camera with active grid lines, electronic stability control, electronic roll mitigation, hill start assist, rain brake support and automatic high-beam control.
Available: adaptive cruise control with stop and go on the Latitude Altitude, Active Driving Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition through Driver Assist Group I, and wireless charging through the driver-assistance groups. Active Driving Assist is a hands-on system that requires the driver to keep their hands on the wheel; Jeep's hands-free system is not offered on the Compass.
Results from both testing organisations are published, and they are not uniform. They are carried in full, in each body's own wording, on the technology and safety page.
| Coverage | Term |
|---|---|
| Basic, bumper to bumper | 3 years or 36,000 miles |
| Powertrain | 5 years or 60,000 miles |
| Roadside assistance | 5 years or 60,000 miles |
| Corrosion, sheet metal | 3 years, unlimited miles |
| Corrosion, outer body panels | 5 years, unlimited miles |
Note the split on corrosion, which matters on the coast: the sheet metal is covered for three years and the outer body panels for five. Service intervals and what the schedule does and does not call for are on the maintenance schedule page.
| The number | What it decides |
|---|---|
| 173.4 in long | Under 15 feet, so it fits a standard single garage bay with room to walk around the nose, and parks in a downtown space without a three-point shuffle |
| 73.8 in wide | Comfortably inside a standard 8-foot garage door, with mirrors the limiting factor rather than the body |
| 64.8 in tall | Clears the 6-foot-8 barrier on most parking garages, unlike a full-size SUV |
| 18.1 ft turning radius | Turns around in a normal residential street without reversing |
| 8.1 in ground clearance | Clears an unplowed driveway and a rutted dirt road; it is not a rock-crawling figure |
| 16 in water fording | Standing water on a flooded shoulder road is a non-event at a sensible speed |
| 38.3 in rear legroom | Two adults behind two adults on a run to the White Mountains or Lake Winnipesaukee without negotiation |
| 29.7 in load floor | Below hip height for most people, so a heavy cooler slides in rather than gets lifted |
The short version: this is a vehicle sized to be easy, with enough clearance to shrug off a New Hampshire winter. It parks like a car at Strawbery Banke or Prescott Park and drives up a snowed-in road at Bear Brook or Pawtuckaway like a Jeep, and that combination is the whole point of the segment. For a Dover or Rochester commuter that means one vehicle covering the garage, the school run and the trailhead.
173.4 inches long on a 103.8-inch wheelbase, 73.8 inches wide excluding mirrors and 64.8 inches tall with the standard roof rails. Every trim shares those dimensions.
3,620 pounds on five of the six trims and 3,840 pounds on the Trailhawk, whose skid plates, off-road suspension, all-terrain tires and full-size spare account for the difference. GVWR is 4,800 pounds, rising to 4,875 on the Trailhawk.
8.1 inches on most trims and 8.6 inches on the Trailhawk, which also raises published water fording from 16 to 19 inches. The Trailhawk's off-road suspension is what produces the difference.
Yes, comfortably. At 173.4 inches long it is under 15 feet, and at 73.8 inches wide excluding mirrors it clears a standard 8-foot garage door with the mirrors as the tight point rather than the body. Its 64.8-inch height also clears the 6-foot-8 limit on most parking garages.
For payload, the certification label on the driver's door jamb is the authority, and it is specific to your individual vehicle rather than to the model as a whole. Third-party payload figures in circulation do not reconcile against the 4,800-pound gross vehicle weight rating, so the table above carries the weights Jeep states and leaves the arithmetic alone.
It varies by trim: 225/60R17 on the Latitude, 225/55R18 on the Latitude Altitude and Limited, 235/45R19 on the 85th Anniversary Edition and Limited Altitude, and 215/65R17 Falken WildPeak All-Terrain tires on the Trailhawk.
Three years or 36,000 miles bumper to bumper, five years or 60,000 miles on the powertrain, and five years or 60,000 miles of roadside assistance. Corrosion coverage is two-tiered: three years unlimited miles on the sheet metal and five years unlimited miles on the outer body panels.
