5 reasons to buy the 2022 Jeep Compass
1. Five trim levels
The 2022 Jeep Compass is a subcompact SUV offering several trims to suit any lifestyle. The base Sport model is nicely equipped with an 8.4-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration, roof rails, and a height-adjustable rear cargo floor, making it a good pick for daily driving. The Latitude trim adds extra conveniences, like proximity keyless entry and fog lights, while the Latitude Lux has leather upholstery and an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat. Nearing the top is the Limited trim — with adaptive cruise control, rear parking sensors, and rain-sensing windshield wipers — or the off-road equipped Trailhawk®.
2. Package options and Red edition
Looking for more style and pizzazz to set your 2022 Jeep Compass apart from the rest? Look for one of the subcompact SUV's many package options. For example, the Sun and Sound Group (available on all models except Sport) adds a dual-pane panoramic power sunroof and a nine-speaker Alpine® audio system or choose the Elite Group (Trailhawk and Limited) for 19-inch wheels, LED foglights, and premium leather upholstery. Additionally, there is the 2022 Jeep Compass High Altitude, which sports black interior and exterior accents, automatic high-beam headlights, and LED headlights. The Jeep RED Edition Compass also adds unique style and red badging to the SUV while raising awareness of important global causes.
3. Off-road skill
With its impressive off-road capabilities, the 2022 Jeep Compass Trailhawk will quench your thirst for adventure. The Trailhawk trim boasts a standard Jeep Active Drive Low four-wheel-drive system and a Selec-Terrain® traction management system with Rock Mode to confidently climb uncharted territory. A raised suspension and skid plates allow the SUV to traverse over rugged landscapes while Hill Descent Control easily handles steep inclines.
4. Roomy cabin
The 2022 Jeep Compass seats five passengers comfortably inside its roomy cabin, that's great for trips long and short. Adults won't feel confined with 41.8 inches and 38.3 inches of front and rear legroom, respectively, and there is ample headroom for taller folks in either row. This seating comfort extends to cargo space in the 2022 Compass, which offers 27.2 cu-ft with the rear seat in place or 59.8 cu-ft when folded. Whether you carry people, cargo, or both, you'll have the space you need for all your travels.
5. Intuitive tech
The Jeep Compass has everything you need to feel connected on your drive. All 2022 models feature a Uconnect® infotainment system with crisp graphics, whether on the standard 8.4-inch touchscreen or the 10.1-inch touchscreen on Latitude Lux and higher trims. In addition to smartphone integration, there are three USB ports on the base trim for convenient charging. The 2022 Compass also includes a plethora of driver aids, including a rearview camera, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warning with lane keep assistance, to name a few.
