Should I choose the 2026 Jeep Compass Latitude Altitude or Limited Altitude?
To help you decide between the Compass's Altitude trims, let's review their basic differences! The Latitude Altitude sits lower on the trim model ladder, adding to the base Latitude with coveted features (including a bigger infotainment touchscreen and flashier wheels). Meanwhile, the Limited Altitude is more luxurious, adding to the Latitude Altitude lineup with more creature comforts (dual-zone automatic climate control helps you battle Texas summers) and utility upgrades (swipe a foot under the bumper and the liftgate automatically opens, for example).
Of course, these compact SUVs also have something in common: their Altitude styling. Both stand apart from other Compass trims with their Neutral Gray exterior accents. You'll also find sleek, Gloss Black trim inside and out! And both options deliver flashy wheels (even if the Limited Altitude is ultimately the flashiest choice).
