The 2022 Jeep Compass is a member of the platform’s second generation that originally debuted in 2017. A half-decade isn’t all that long in automotive terms, but that hasn’t stopped the manufacturer from making some rather noticeable changes for the 2022 model year. What has not changed is the vehicle’s commitment to on- and off-road performance, strong fuel economy scores and, of course, technology. Online independent experts have praised the 2022 Compass for its efficient use of interior space, user-friendly infotainment system and the off-road-ready Trailhawk model.

Exterior Features
Revised Exterior Design
Jeep designers gave the 2022 Compass new front and rear fascia elements as well as restyled LED lighting. The automaker pays homage to its history by retaining the iconic seven-slot grille. However, the grille design employs new textures to complement the new refreshed design.

Interior Features
Revised Interior Design
Some of the most noticeable changes made to the 2022 Jeep Compass are found in the passenger cabin. The 2022 Compass’s new design has been described by Jeep as dramatic, and works to further integrate form and function. A new instrument panel and full-colour Driver Information Display are the centrepieces of the interior revisions.
Improved Cabin Features
Another very visible change to the interior of the 2022 Compass is the raised centre console, which offers even more small-item storage and available wireless charging. Additionally, rear passengers gain more control over the climate system in the backseat. Auxiliary power outlets are available options and devices can be charged using two more USB sports.
Refined Upholstery Options
The interior dimensions of the 2022 Compass are as generous as any other vehicle in its class. Not only will passengers of all sizes be comfortable in the 2022 Compass, but the materials they’ll be sitting on are equally plush. Buyers will have several upholstery options to examine when they’re at Southside Dodge. The Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof is also available in 2022.

Technology
Next-Generation Connectivity
Connectivity and device integration are more important to Jeep customers than ever before. The 2022 Jeep Compass will receive the cutting-edge Uconnect 5 infotainment system, which is faster, offers more processing power, and offers customizable user profiles. Uconnect 5 will be standard equipment across the entire 2022 Compass lineup.
Larger Available Touchscreen
Some trim grades will feature a 10.1-inch touchscreen interface. This is where the driver and passengers will be able to access the system’s full array of multimedia functions, including the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto suites of applications. A fully digital instrument cluster is available that can show the driver the vehicle’s speed, navigation data and outside temperature.
Wireless Charging
As we become more reliant on our smartphones during our commutes, keeping them charged will be more important. A wireless charging pad can be located in the redesigned centre console and several USB (Type-A and -C) ports are located throughout the passenger cabin.
Performance & Engine Capability
Engine Technology
Every 2022 Jeep Compass employs the same engine architecture. A naturally aspirated 2.6-litre, inline four-cylinder engine, making 177 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque, is under the SUV’s hood. A six- or nine-speed automatic transmission will be available, depending on which of the several trim grades a customer takes home from Southside Dodge.
4×4 Systems
Owners of the 2022 Compass will be able to choose between a pair of four-wheel-drive systems; both of them are capable of sending 100 percent of torque to any one wheel that might be losing traction. Additionally, the latest Compass can disconnect its drivetrain from the four-wheel-drive systems to help promote better fuel economy scores.
Trail Rated Capability
Buyers looking to max out their off-road capability should be looking closely at the Trailhawk trims. The model’s Trail Rated badge will instantly let people know the 2022 Compass can be taken through rough terrain. The Trailhawk has more ground clearance, more wheel articulation and the ability to ford standing water.
Safety
Active Safety Systems
Driver and passenger safety are always front-of-mind for Jeep. The 2022 Compass can be equipped with a vast range of active safety systems. Certainly, crash protection is still important, but these sensors and cameras actually help alert the driver to potentially dangerous situations, helping them avoid collisions altogether. The available safety systems include:
- Blind-Spot Monitoring
- Rear Cross Path Detection
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go
- Forward Collision Warning with Auto Energy Saving
- Active Lane Management
2021 Compass Model Changes
The changes made to the 2022 Jeep Compass focus on stylistic upgrades to the inside and outside of the vehicle. Additionally, the automaker is making a larger touchscreen to use the automaker’s vastly improved infotainment system. Jeep also revised its lineup of active safety systems so that more solutions are available on more trim grades.
