Jeep Compass depreciation by country

The same car depreciates at different rates in different markets. Here's how the Jeep Compass depreciation rate changes across the seven major markets we track.

🇺🇸
United States
Baseline

Baseline market. The Compass depreciates faster than compact SUV rivals, though Trailhawk trims hold value better due to genuine off-road credibility and a loyal Jeep following.

Currency: USD Unit: mi
🇨🇦
Canada
+2% retention

Canadian buyers favor AWD-equipped Compass models, which retain value slightly better than US equivalents. Cold-climate provinces keep 4x4 Trailhawks in strong demand.

Currency: CAD Unit: km
🇬🇧
United Kingdom
-15% retention

Limited dealer network and weak brand presence accelerate Compass depreciation in the UK. Diesel variants from earlier years have fallen especially hard amid ULEZ restrictions.

Currency: GBP Unit: mi
🇪🇺
Europe
-12% retention

The Compass 4xe plug-in hybrid enjoys stronger retention in Europe due to tax incentives, but standard petrol trims depreciate quickly against local rivals like the Peugeot 3008.

Currency: EUR Unit: km
🇸🇦
Saudi Arabia
+5% retention

Jeep has strong brand equity in Saudi Arabia, and the Compass benefits from demand for capable compact SUVs. Resale is firm, particularly for well-specced Limited and Trailhawk models.

Currency: SAR Unit: km
🇮🇳
India
-5% retention

Locally assembled in Pune, the Compass is positioned as a premium SUV and enjoys solid brand cachet. However, high on-road prices mean first-year depreciation is steep before stabilizing.

Currency: INR Unit: km
🇦🇺
Australia
-10% retention

Australian buyers have shifted toward Korean and Japanese rivals, and FCA's patchy reliability reputation hurts Compass resale. Trailhawk models are the exception, retaining value through enthusiast demand.

Jeep Compass depreciation after an accident

An accident on a vehicle's history permanently increases its depreciation rate, even after perfect repairs. Here's how much extra depreciation each severity level adds to a Jeep Compass.

Minor accident
+8% depreciation

Paintwork, bumper scuffs, non-structural repairs. Disclosed on history reports but limited resale impact.

Moderate accident
+18% depreciation

Panel replacement, airbag deployment, meaningful CARFAX entry. Significantly accelerates depreciation.

Major accident
+33% depreciation

Frame damage, flood, salvage title. Permanent depreciation hit even after full restoration.

This "diminished value" is the extra depreciation a car carries after an accident. Insurance rarely reimburses it — our calculator bakes it into every depreciation estimate.

Jeep Compass FAQ

How much does a Jeep Compass depreciate per year?
A new Jeep Compass typically loses about 22% of its value in the first year, then depreciates 8–10% annually thereafter. After 5 years, expect it to retain roughly 47% of MSRP — below the compact SUV segment average of around 55%.
What is a Jeep Compass worth after 5 years?
A Compass purchased new for $32,000 will typically be worth around $15,000 after 5 years and 65,000 miles. Trailhawk trims can fetch $1,500–$2,500 more due to their off-road equipment and enthusiast appeal.
Why does the Jeep Compass depreciate faster than a Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4?
Below-average reliability rankings, higher warranty claim rates, and softer brand resale perception all push Compass depreciation steeper than segment leaders. A 5-year-old Compass typically retains 8–12 percentage points less than a comparable CR-V.
How much does an accident reduce a Jeep Compass's value?
A minor accident reduces resale value by roughly 8%, a moderate accident by about 18%, and a major accident with frame damage by up to 33%. Carfax reports of any collision damage weigh heavily in this value-sensitive segment.
Does the Trailhawk trim depreciate differently than other Compass trims?
Yes. The Trailhawk retains value roughly 4% better than comparable Limited trims at the 5-year mark, thanks to its trail-rated badge, locking differential, and dedicated enthusiast buyer pool. It's the best Compass trim for resale.
