Thinking about a new Jeep or Dodge but not sure where the pricing starts? The current 2026 lineup covers a wider range than most buyers expect -- from a compact SUV under $37,000 to a full-size three-row SUV in the mid-$60,000s, with a performance car, a midsize SUV, and an open-air truck in between. This guide runs through the most accessible entry points in the 2026 Jeep and Dodge lineup, with confirmed Canadian MSRPs for each model, so you can see exactly what you get before you visit Dartmouth Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram.

All prices listed are manufacturer's suggested retail prices (MSRP) in Canadian dollars, and exclude destination, air conditioning tax, and additional fees.

Jeep Compass Sport -- $36,995 MSRP

The Compass Sport is the most affordable new Jeep available in Canada today. For $36,995, it comes standard with a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-4 producing 200 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque, an 8-speed automatic transmission, and standard 4-wheel drive -- no upgrade required. The Sport also ships with automatic dual-zone climate control, LED headlights, remote start, push-button start, SiriusXM Guardian emergency SOS, Selec-Terrain ABS traction control, and cruise control with steering wheel controls.

For drivers in Dartmouth who want an all-weather compact SUV at a reasonable entry point, the Compass Sport delivers the full 4WD package from the base trim up.

Jeep Cherokee (Base Trim) -- $39,995 MSRP

The all-new 2026 Jeep Cherokee starts at $39,995 MSRP -- the brand's most affordable midsize SUV. Every Cherokee, including the base trim, ships standard with:

  • 1.6-litre turbo-four hybrid system: 210 hp / 230 lb-ft combined output
  • Standard Active Drive I 4x4 with Selec-Terrain (Auto, Sport, Snow, Sand/Mud)
  • 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 infotainment screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Heated front seats and passive entry
  • Active Driving Assist (Level 2 with adaptive cruise control)
  • Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection
  • Blind-spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path detection
  • Connect ONE connected services package (10 years of OTA updates included)

Fuel economy is estimated at as low as 6.4 L/100 km combined, with a tank range of up to 800 km. Under $40,000 for a hybrid midsize SUV with standard 4x4 and Level 2 driver assistance is a strong starting point in this segment.

Jeep Wrangler -- $43,995 MSRP

The 2026 Jeep Wrangler starts at $43,995 MSRP. As the most capable off-road vehicle in the Jeep lineup by design, the Wrangler brings removable doors and roof, a folding windshield, and Trail Rated 4x4 hardware that no other vehicle in this price range can replicate. Ground clearance reaches up to 29.4 cm (11.6 in), water fording up to 80.0 cm (31.5 in), and approach angles of up to 44.7 degrees depending on configuration.

The Wrangler runs the 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 producing 285 hp and 260 lb-ft at its entry point, with available 2.0-litre turbocharged and 6.4-litre V-8 options up the lineup. For Nova Scotia drivers who use their vehicle off the paved road -- whether that's the Cabot Trail backroads, Cape Breton trails, or tidal flats access roads -- the Wrangler remains in a category of its own.

Jeep Gladiator Sport S -- $49,995 MSRP

The 2026 Jeep Gladiator Sport S starts at $49,995 MSRP -- a reduction of up to $11,400 compared to the outgoing 2025 models. As the only open-air pickup truck in the industry, the Gladiator pairs a versatile cargo box with the same Trail Rated 4x4 credentials as the Wrangler.

The Sport S runs the 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 at 285 hp and 260 lb-ft, exclusively paired with an 8-speed automatic. Maximum towing reaches 3,492 kg (7,700 lbs) and maximum payload up to 782 kg (1,725 lbs). The Gladiator recently ranked first in the Midsize Pickup Segment in the J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Initial Quality Study. For buyers in the Halifax Regional Municipality who want a pickup with open-air capability and proven quality, the Sport S delivers that at a price point now under $50,000.

Dodge Charger R/T -- $59,995 MSRP

The 2026 Dodge Charger R/T starts at $59,995 MSRP and is North America's most affordable AWD muscle car. The 3.0-litre SIXPACK standard-output twin-turbo inline-six produces 420 hp and 468 lb-ft of torque, with standard all-wheel drive and a selectable rear-wheel-drive mode. It covers 0--96 km/h in 4.6 seconds and the quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds. Both two-door and four-door configurations are available -- the four-door adds $3,000 MSRP.

The Charger R/T is assembled in Windsor, Ontario, and delivers 50 hp and 73 lb-ft more than the outgoing 5.7-litre HEMI R/T it replaces. For drivers in Dartmouth who want a daily driver with performance car output, the R/T is the entry point.

Dodge Durango GT -- $62,595 MSRP

The 2026 Dodge Durango GT starts at $62,595 MSRP and brings a three-row, seven-passenger SUV with standard AWD to the lineup. The 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 produces 295 hp and 260 lb-ft, paired with an 8-speed automatic and a full-time AWD system. Towing capacity sits at 2,812 kg (6,200 lbs) on the GT.

Standard content on the Durango GT includes 20-inch alloy wheels, dual exhaust, a 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with navigation, heated front seats and steering wheel, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Blind-spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path detection, ParkSense rear park assist, and a power liftgate. For families who need three rows, AWD, and a full feature kit without building up from a base trim, the Durango GT covers it at the starting price.
