Jeep Compass (2026 onwards) | Expert Rating


Summary

The Jeep Compass is a mid-size SUV, sitting above the more compact Avenger in Jeep’s UK range. This is the third-generation Compass, which replaced the long-standing second-gen model at the end of 2025.

This Expert Rating refers to the petrol mild-hybrid Compass ‘E-Hybrid’ model. There is also an all-electric version of the SUV, which we will give its own Expert Rating page – coming soon.

While the Jeep is now on sale, we don’t yet have enough UK-based reviews or running cost data to display on this page. Therefore, we are holding off on giving the Compass an Expert Rating score for the moment. Check back soon!

Reliability data provided exclusively for The Car Expert by MotorEasy

No reliability rating

As of February 2026, we don’t have enough reliability data on the Jeep Compass to generate a reliability rating.

Warranty rating

New car warranty information for the Jeep Compass

Overall rating E 16%
Petrol or diesel models E 2%
Electric or hybrid models D 29%
New car warranty duration 3 years
New car warranty mileage 36,000 miles
Battery warranty duration 8 years
Battery warranty mileage 100,000 miles

Jeep’s new car warranty is worse than average, and worse than rival brands in a similar price bracket as the Compass.

The duration is three years, with a limit of 36,000 miles. While Jeep’s competitors offer better standard coverage, this warranty is supplemented by a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty and this compass has an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty for the mild-hybrid battery components.

Warranty on a used Jeep Compass

  • If you are buying an ‘Approved Used’ Jeep Compass from an official Jeep dealership, you will get a minimum one-year warranty included.
  • If you are buying a used Jeep Compass from an independent dealership, any warranty offered will vary and will probably be managed by a third-party warranty company.
  • If you are buying a used Jeep Compass from a private seller, there are no warranty protections beyond any remaining portion of the original new car warranty.

If you’re looking to buy any used car that is approaching the end of its warranty period, a used car warranty is usually a worthwhile investment. Check out The Car Expert’s guide to the best used car warranty providers, which will probably be cheaper than a warranty sold by a dealer.

Recalls

Official DVSA safety recalls that have been issued for the Jeep Compass

As of February 2026, we are not aware of any DVSA vehicle safety recalls affecting the Jeep Compass. However, recall information is updated regularly, so this may have changed.

You can check to see if your car has any outstanding recalls by visiting the DVLA website or contacting your local Jeep dealer.
