Breaking Down the 2026 Jeep Compass Interior

The 2026 Jeep Compass combines renowned off-roading capabilities, a spacious cabin, and plenty of infotainment features in a small package, making it ideal for first-time buyers and small families. For 2026, Jeep offers an upmarket interior for you to relax in during long and short drives. Whether you opt for the base trim or choose a more upscale configuration, the Compass offers lots of exciting features in the cabin. At Meadowland of Carmel, our Jeep experts have broken down the key things you need to know about the new Compass’ interior.

First Look at the 2026 Jeep Compass Interior Design

The Compass’ interior offers both utility and comfort, with base models featuring cloth upholstery and manually adjustable front seats. Higher trims offer more upscale materials like synthetic leather or genuine leather-trimmed seats with heating and power adjustments.

Lighter and darker color schemes are in the lineup, allowing you to configure the interior environment to your liking. Our Jeep parts department sells a variety of OEM accessories, such as a cargo organizer or premium floor mats, to help you personalize your ride.

Seating Configurations and Comfort Features

The Compass seats five people across two rows. Ample legroom and headroom up front and in the second row ensure that adults can sit comfortably anywhere in the cabin. In the second row, LATCH connectors on the outboard seats and a tether anchor in the middle seat make installing car seats and boosters seamless. Higher Compass trims offer a nicer interior and more comfort features, including heated front seats and the driver’s power-adjustable seat. The dual-zone automatic climate control lets passengers in every row adjust the temperature to their ideal comfortable level.

Technology and Infotainment Systems

Jeep equips the Compass with the latest in entertainment features, making it easy for you to enjoy the music you love, navigate to your next destination, and stay in contact with friends and family on the road. Key features for Compass drivers in Carmel include:

• An 8.4-inch touchscreen and six-speaker stereo, helping you to choose your favorite radio station or podcasts, and enjoy them in high-quality sound.
• Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, so you’ll have no trouble linking your phone to your infotainment system.
• A Wi-Fi hotspot to keep you connected to the internet wherever you go, letting you stay up to date with news, work-related messages, and more.
• A 7-inch digital instrument display, giving you a clear overview of your Compass’ performance on drives across New York State and beyond.

Besides the standard features, you can select optional infotainment technology. For example, consider upgrading to a 10.1-inch display (standard on Latitude and Trailhawk trims) if you prefer larger screens. You can also get a bigger 10.25-inch instrument display, Amazon Alexa, and a more powerful nine-speaker audio system.

Cargo Space and Storage Versatility

The Compass offers 27.2 cubic feet of cargo storage behind the second row. This should be more than enough for you to haul a large load of groceries or your gear for a weekend trip out of town. To transport bulkier items, you can fold down the rear row of seats to open up 59.8 cubic feet of storage space. In this configuration, you can carry household furniture or other things requiring more space, while still accommodating two people up front.

Trim Level Interior Differences

Jeep sells the Compass in four trim levels, starting with the base 2026 Compass Sport. The other trims are the Latitude, Trailhawk, and the Limited. Here’s a closer look at what sets each trim’s cabin apart.

• Sport: Features cloth upholstery with manually adjustable front seats, and the standard infotainment and sound systems.
• Latitude: Adds small conveniences, like a leather-wrapped steering wheel for added comfort on your hands, and proximity keyless entry to make it easier to unlock your car.
• Limited: Provides an upscale cabin with synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats with power adjustments for the driver, a larger infotainment touchscreen, automatic climate control, and a heated steering wheel.
• Trailhawk: Builds on the Latitude trim with off-roading features, including all-terrain tires and skid plates.

Safety Features Integrated Into Interior Design

Jeep provides a wide range of safety features in the new Compass to protect occupants. Drivers get aids such as forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian and cyclist detection, all of which work together to help prevent accidents in an emergency. Standard blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert warn you about motorists approaching from awkward angles. Well-positioned airbags throughout the cabin, including to protect your head and body, aim to reduce the consequences of collisions.

When you reach highway speeds, you can look forward to the lane-keep assist and lane-departure warning to help you stay on the right track. During longer drives, the driver attention monitor keeps tabs on your reaction times and other behaviors, giving you a warning when it’s time to take a break.
