Have No Fear! The 2022 Jeep Compass Is Here!

With 2022 creeping around the corner, the industry’s new models are finding their way into the dealerships, and it’s no exception at your Cincinnati Jeep dealer. If you’re interested in looking into an SUV, whether you’re new to crossovers or an expert, Jeep has a model for you. And for those who have been anticipating the reveal of the new Jeep Compass – or even those who are indifferent – the wait is over. The revamped 2022 Compass is ready to share its remodel with Jeep enthusiasts and critics all the same. Its new facelift is bound to spark interest in any passerby, giving you only a taste of what it has to offer – you’ll have to give this beauty a good test run to see what’s lurking behind the cover.

SUV Perfection: Exemplary Appearance at an Affordable Price

The Compass is Jeep’s subcompact SUV sized between the Renegade and the Cherokee, making it the perfect stature to maneuver like a car -whether on the road or while parking – but still packing the extra passenger and cargo room that SUVs are known and loved for. Offering 41.8 inches of legroom for the front seats and 38.3 inches for the second row for its total of 5 passengers, followed up with 59.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front seats, this model holds its own with the competition when it comes to interior capacity.

With the new facelift to the front end and interior, the 2022 Compass has a more contemporary and refreshing look than previous model years while still being fairly priced with a starting MSRP of $24,995.* A total of six trims are available, giving you plenty of options to choose from:

• The Sport is the base model with a solid array of features
• The Latitude offers fog lamps, cornering lamps, and more
• The new Latitude LUX comes standard with a 10.1″ touchscreen
• The Limited has heated front seats and a heated steering wheel
• The Trailhawk is for the off-road trail adventurers
• The High Altitude is fully loaded for maximum luxury

Updating the front and rear fascias, as well as adding some new textures and curves to the body, has certainly turned some heads and grabbed the attention of Compass enthusiasts and critics alike. With a more attractive exterior that compares better with other Jeep models, the interior was all that was left to revamp – and that they did, adding some sophistication with subtle details like door trims and bezels, slimmer AC vents, and a makeover for the infotainment center that gave it more of a tablet-style look.

For comfort, there are available heated rear seats for passengers and plenty of technological features – over 35 – for convenience and keeping you connected while on the road (or off the road if you prefer). USB ports are available in the front and rear to keep both you and your passengers fully charged – with an available wireless charging pad to keep things a little less cluttered – as well as smartphone connectivity through the intuitive Uconnect system.

Safety First: Looking Its Finest While Keeping You Safe

Beauty isn’t everything, and when you’re carrying some precious cargo, safety is a top priority. Thankfully with ongoing safety advancements, most vehicles at your Cincinnati Jeep dealer offer the latest and greatest in safety. The 2022 Compass has over 75 safety and security features that come either standard or are available to you. Some of what you can expect are:

Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, which alerts you and automatically applies the brakes for you when you’re approaching another vehicle or pedestrian too quickly
Blind Spot Monitoring will alert you when a vehicle is present in one of your blind spot zones
Rear Cross Path Detection warns you when something is coming into your path while you’re in reverse
LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist alerts you both audibly and visible if you move out of your lane and will assist you in steering the vehicle back into the lane if you do not respond to the warning promptly
Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go keeps you at a selected distance by automatically adjusting your speed so that you can stay with the flow of traffic while still keeping a safe distance.

Beauty and Brawn: Style Coincides with Performance and Capability

Engineered with a 2.4 liter 4-cylinder motor, the 2022 Compass delivers around 177 horsepower and comes standard with a 6-speed automatic transmission for the front-wheel drive models and a 9-speed automatic transmission for the all-wheel drive models. The estimated fuel economy is competitive with others in its class at approximately 22 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway. Although there may not be a whole lot of pep to this Jeep’s step, the Compass shines on and off the pavement.

Those who choose to purchase an all-wheel drive version can expect only the best from the off-road maker Jeep. With the Jeep Active Drive 4×4 system, you’ll smoothly switch between two-wheel and four-wheel drive making your off-road excursion a breeze. The Trailhawk trim offers a new Select-Terrain toggle with multiple modes to choose from, including Auto, Snow, Sand, Mud, and Rock mode so that you can enjoy any terrain the wilderness throws at you. If that isn’t enough, Jeep offers accessories and performance parts to add to your off-road rig for customization and extra capability, giving you even more options for an enjoyable adventure – from roof tents, winch mounts, brush bars, light kits, and more.

Giving the 2022 Compass a Chance

In previous years, the Compass has been a fan favorite for Jeep enthusiasts and other SUV drivers seeking an affordable and capable vehicle. It offers the style, power, and comfort that is expected of the Jeep brand in a lower-cost package that was more practical for the average driver. But after four years on the market, the Compass needed a few updates, and when the consumer speaks, Jeep listens. That is why Jeep listened to what people liked and didn’t like, redesigning the Compass and making it much more appealing than in previous years. With such a remodel, there’s no reason not to give the 2022 Compass a chance.

With a refreshed design, spacious interior, and excellent off-road capabilities – no matter what terrain the trail leads you to or what weather Mother Nature decides to toss at you – the Compass is worth a chance. There’s plenty of options to fit anyone’s lifestyle and preferences -from multiple trims to front-wheel drive and 4×4 availability, not to mention additional accessories that can be purchased to give your SUV a bit more capability and style. The new Compass is a perfect SUV for young families needing a bit more space or for anyone just looking for more storage during their off-road and wilderness adventures. Whether you’re a Jeep fanatic, enjoy the advantages of having an SUV, or are new to Jeep and SUVs altogether, you’re sure to do a double-take when you pass by the 2022 Compass at your Cincinnati Jeep dealer. You might as well just get in and take it for a ride – you won’t regret it.
