When the extra-small 2022 Jeep Compass hit the market, people stood and applauded. The new model year brought tons of updates: a new exterior design, a more sophisticated interior, tons of new tech features, and more standard driver-assist safety features.
Until now, drivers were used to seeing the Jeep Compass available in five trim levels: Sport, Latitude, Latitude Lux, Limited, and Trailhawk. All of these trims came equipped with a 2.4-liter engine (177 hp and 172 lb-ft of torque) with the option of either a six-speed manual transmission or a nine-speed automatic transmission.
Jeep enthusiasts are again ready to stand in ovation at the release of the new Altitude Package.
What To Expect With Altitude?
Jeep introduced the new Altitude package at the Chicago Auto Show. This add-on was created based on feedback and requests from customers. People wanted the Jeep Compass to have more custom options from the factory.
Here is what you can expect from the new Jeep Compass Altitude package:
- Gloss black exterior badging and accents
- 18-inch black wheels
- Blacked-out roof
- Bright exhaust tip
- Black vinyl and cloth combination seats with black stitching
- Premium upholstery on the steering wheel
- Black interior accents
- A new black headliner
The Altitude package isn’t only about adding a more custom street look. You’ll also get some additional driver-assist features above the standard options:
- Full-speed forward collision warning with active braking
- Blind-spot monitoring
- Active lane management
These systems are added to the standard forward collision mitigation, lane-departure mitigation, and blind-spot monitoring features that come on every trim level.
What Does It Cost?
If you want to add the Altitude package to your Jeep Compass, you’ll have to go with a 4×4 model. The base-level Sport Trim can be equipped with the right drivetrain and starts at $27,890. Adding the Altitude package will add $1,645 to the price of your Compass.
There’s Always More With A Jeep Compass
The Altitude package joins an entire host of available add-on packages. It joins another newly released option called the Limited-based (RED) edition. The RED add-on package is used to help raise funds for global health emergencies. It gets a unique redline pearl-coat paint job, 19-inch wheels, black leather bucket seats, and red badging.
Drivers can also equip their Jeeps with the Sun and Sound package that comes with a panoramic sunroof and an updated Alpine sound system, which is a popular combination for Compass drivers.
If you opt for the highest trims (Trailhawk and Limited), you can also go with the Elite package:
- Windshield deicer
- 19-inch wheels
- Upgraded LED lights
- Heated and ventilated front-row seats
- Heated rear seats
- Premium leather upholstery
- In-dash navigation
- And more
