Which 2026 Jeep Compass trims have automatic four-wheel drive?
All six trims, as standard. Automatic is standard on the Latitude, Latitude Altitude, 85th Anniversary Edition, Limited, Trailhawk and Limited Altitude. The cheapest Compass with it costs $29,550. It's a Latitude.
Our Compass data has all six US 2026 MP gas , standard wheel/tire sets, both Convenience Groups, Sun and Sound, Sun/Sound/Navigation, Driver Assist I and Trailhawk Trailer Tow Groups. It doesn't have European STLA Medium and future US models, /EV variants, paint/interior colors, standalone wheel upgrades, Mopar and fleet codes yet, so something missing from this page may still be offered.
