Exactly $36K-$38K is my cut off. Anything more just feels too expensive and too much of a wasteful luxury item. In my experience, when a vehicle is too expensive, it is not an enjoyable experience, because most of the time is worrying about simple wear and tear. These days, prices are bloated, paint is very thin, interior trims are scratch happy (peppered with piano black plastics), thinner windshields, and the experience becomes dread of knowing how expensive it was, and how much faster things are wearing than previous vehicles you had that cost half as much.

Interestingly, a comment of mine seems to have "disappeared."" He compared it to the Crosstrek, and stated this $46K Compass is going to be a better deal. A loaded to the gills Crosstrek Limited (HK audio, trailer hitch, and several accessories) is a little over $35K with destination. This Jeep is $46K+. I can't see Jeep doing $11K in incentives, the current Jeep website has this lease cost at $678 (with PA taxes built in) over 36 month - with nothing down. With the Crosstrek - just add in some Wildpeak Trails, and you'd probably be good for a while and well with most people's comfort zone with what you'd be willing to do with it. I doubt people are going to be willing to spend close to $50K on the Jeep and be comfortable pushing its limits and not minding watching damages appearing all over a $50K vehicle with a high monthly payment.

I get it.. if you want a Jeep you want a Jeep. But do they realize that for $46,000 you can get an Acura RDX with Tech trim? More power, more cargo space, still 8.2” ground clearance, and I’d bet that SH-AWD would do fairly well. Or get a fully loaded Tucson Hybrid for $40k which probably also has much more interior/cargo space and a big jump in efficiency. You could probably even get a decent 4Runner for $46k. This Jeep just seems priced into a very narrow target market

It’s actually insulting that Chrysler thinks this is a $40k vehicle. Let alone $46k.

As long as there are people who will pay ridiculous prices the prices will continue to be high. Stop paying those insane prices and the manufacturer and dealers will start offering discounts.

Just a quick check locally, our Jeep dealer has about a dozen of these on the lot and the top-of-the-line High Altitude with Nav with an MSRP of 44.2k has nearly 3k in instant discounts and another 2k in other discounts available. And according the Jeep's website, High Altitude is top model, not Trailhawk.

The MSRP is way overpriced. To be fair to Jeep, you're likely to get a significant discount on these, while Honda, Hyundai, and Toyota dealers will gouge you on anything desirable on the lot.

$46K for a Compass is absurd. Don't know why the Bronco Sport isn't mentioned as a competitor here. Both are the closest in terms of sizing and mission in the subcompact CUV segment.

Great video Alex, I am wondering if the Subaru Crosstrek you tested had the 2.5l or did it have the 2.0l?

I paid 35K for mine. I opted for the 2023 red Trailhawk so yeah, more expensive than the black Compass offered. With Jeep discounts and my trade in of ten yo mini cooper, final cost 28K. It’s really a nice vehicle.

Could you please review more lower trims on vehicles as well? Some of us are still in the sub 40k or 30k market. Thank you.

When the second generation Compass came out it started at $20,935… now this car starts at $28,400… insane.

Another through review. Looks like you are at the 2023 Mudfest! When are you planning to reveal how the Mitsu Outlander PHEV did (I already know but won't steal your thunder)?

The 8spd is actually an Aisin unit. Smart move because it offers better shifting than the ZF9 but reliability that is on par with the ZF8. And yes, $46K is crazy, especially considering you can get a JGC Limited 4x4 for that price. But these will be heavily discounted.

Not yet, but Chrysler is ending its partnership on the ZF9, so its only a matter of time.

I think these comments are overly negative in regards to the price simply because this is the MOST expensive model you can get, save for maybe the top luxury one. Having worked with many of these at rental agencies, mainly lower trim levels, I think that’s where the compass competed best. You can get a Latitude with 4WD, surround view camera, automated safety features, heated power seats, and digital gauge cluster all for around $30k (2022 model year, according to my location up north). $40k+ is rightfully absurd, but I have yet to see any compasses crack the $36k asking price anywhere near me. Driving them around and cleaning them, they are much nicer inside and feel more quality oriented than the Kona, CH-R, HR-V (previous gen) and even some larger models like the Rogue (not to mention more feature options than all those listed). I know it’s anecdotal, but of the 30 or so 2022+ compasses that have been in the fleet I service, we have yet to see one break down or suffer any serious malfunction or issues, and some are getting up to 30k miles with no problem (which should be expected, but we have Konas come in with power steering faults and infotainment issues at a much larger scale than the Compass). Overall, I think for $35k or less, you can’t really beat the Compass when it comes to feature availability and interior design/quality. In my opinion, I like how it drives more than the CX-30 (too cramped, ride isn’t great and the stupid parking brake needing to be disengaged every time you drive). Would I buy the CX-30 turbo over any Compass? Of course. But when it comes to the lower end trims and value for money, the Compass is absolutely one of the better bets in the segment. Can’t speak on the new Crosstrek yet, hope I can get my hands on one soon

Yes I think for the price I think the horsepower should be around 250-280 but hey it’s definitely improved over the 2.4L. The tech is definitely there and you do get more off road capability but how much more cause it isn’t same system in a grand Cherokee.

Compass's typically have thousands in rebates and/or crazy financing offers, as well as dealers willing to get rid of them, so ultimately I think the delta between the compass and crosstrek will be much smaller in the real world.
