The Latitude LUX trim of the 2022 Jeep Compass should be the one that is the most desirable as it appears to be the entry level configuration of all comfort features. Right from heated seats and leather upholstery to improved suspension and infotainment unit, the Latitude LUX brings all of them for a reasonable price tag in accordance with its other siblings. 

"Trailhawk version is highly capable off-road." - Edmunds

Seemingly brawny with its 177 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque, the 2022 Jeep Compass beholds a 2.4L I-4 engine as its oomph. And it is coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission in an FWD layout for the Sport and Latitude editions. To further better that traction, they can be availed of with the optional 4x4 platform that charges an additional $1,500 on its part. 

Clutched to the tracks with the Selec-Terrain System, the Jeep strides in confidence in its TrailHawk configuration braced by its off-road suspensions. On the contrary, the normal duty-suspension of the base model lacks that stature overall. Also, the 4x4 gets standard for all  except for the 2 lower trims and tends to employ 9-speed automatic transmission along with AWD suspension, thereby improving the flooring stance than the primary one.   

The Compass fires up from 0-60 MPH in 9.3 seconds while the quarter-mile sprint takes 17.1 seconds with a top speed of 117 MPH. But to confine that mobility, it fits in 12-inch vented front and 11-inch rear disc brakes in sync with 4-wheel ABS and Brake Assist. The system, on the whole, decelerates it from 70-0 MPH within a braking distance of not more than 184 ft.    

As per figures, the Jeep prices the Compass at an MSRP $1,000 more than the Subaru Forester yet the latter can go 0-60 MPH 1.3 seconds faster. Even the Tucson has been equipped with 6 lb-ft more torque and 10 hp better power than the Compass that allow it to be quicker in quarter-mile by half a second. In spite of that, it does not compromise in its towing prowess that parallels the Compass.

"The coarse powertrain is average at best." - The Car Connection

The 2022 Jeep Compass offers a fuel economy of 25 MPG combined and 31 MPG on the highways. And it travels 337 miles on average with its completely filled 13.5-gallon fuel tank. However, the highway mileage drops by 1 MPG for the 4X4 layout.  

Based on the numbers, the Forester returns 4 MPG better overall fuel economy than the Jeep Compass that helps it to have nearly 150 miles range superiority. The Toyota RAV4, with its 1-gallon bigger tank and 5 MPG higher economy, is also capable of outstripping the Compass by 100 miles range deficit. 

"The 2022 Jeep Compass benefits from abundant rear seat legroom and cargo space." - Motor Trend

The interior of the 2022 Jeep Compass chants in two interior shades of Black and Steel Gray as per trim level. It surely feels usual with cloth surfaced seats in the Sport and Latitude trims that incline to lift up with leather upholstery for the Latitude LUX and other relatively higher editions. Furthermore, the Tungsten and Red Accent Stitchings for the High Altitude and TrailHawk respectively do that magic contrasting to refurbish that premium outlay.  

In terms of comfort, the heated front row seating and heated steering wheel are integrated from Latitude LUX onwards. And the dual-pane panoramic sunroof lightens the cabin with damped natural lighting but that remains organically specific to the High Altitude only. The cargo capacity of 27.2-59.8 cu-ft has been organized as well for this 5-seater compact SUV to load in your necessities.  

Comparing the data indicates the 10.4 cu-ft cargo volume deficit in the Compass against the RAV4 that increases to 11.5 cu-ft when Tucson is brought in. On the other hand, the Subaru Forester has been designed to feature 2-inch better spaciousness in all parameters in the front row. Grabbing your attention right after you enter the cabin is the upgraded Uconnect 5 with an 8.4-Inch Display that functions as a standard infotainment unit.  

The definition further exaggerates with Uconnect 5 with 10.1-Inch Flush Display that poises the touch and experience at the same time for all except for the High Altitude, Sport, and Latitude. Its 6-speaker audio system tunes to your rhythms as per your wishes that elevates even higher with High Altitude's Premium Alpine Speaker System. The top-ranging has got the GPS Navigation too in its asset list for optimal application.

• Contrast stitching

"It still looks decidedly like a Jeep with styling reminiscent of the bigger Grand Cherokee." - Kelley Blue Book

Chiseled in the Middle Fascia Texture of either MIC Black or Gloss Black, the 2022 Jeep Compass glints in 13 exterior colors out of which the Redline Pearl is only for the Red configuration. The blacked-out projector beam headlights on the front neighbor that 7-slotted simulated grille with front facing camera embedded, over those air vents for engine cooling. 

Riding on 16-inch, 17-inch, and 18-inch wheels with BSW all-season and all-terrain tires depending on the trim level, the Jeep Compass boasts bold masculine sculpt. And the rear adorns with LED tail lights and slashed exhaust tip. However, if one wants a more aggressive build, then Elite group at $2,995 can renovate it with gloss black wheel flares, sill molding, and many more.    

Going by the analysis, the Compass comes out to have a 5-inch smaller wheelbase than the Hyundai Tucson but a 0.6-inch higher ground clearance. The Forester and RAV4 have been lifted 1 inch and 0.7-inch higher from the track as compared to the Jeep Compass that helps them in maneuvering through tough terrains. Apart from that, all the other dimensions are in the same ballparks.

"All 2022 Jeep Compass models are well equipped when it comes to active safety technology." - CarsDirect

The 2022 Jeep Compass has not undergone any crash test yet, hence, has got no safety rating. Nevertheless, considering its 2021 model year, one can speculate it to have a 4-star NHTSA and a "Good" IIHS safety rating.

For 2022 MY, Jeep brings new changes in its safety suite as well with more advanced safety features that are mentioned below:

• Full-speed Collision Warning
• Active Brake and Pedestrian/Cyclist Detection
• Active Lane Management

2022 Jeep Compass vs. 2022 Subaru Forester

The 2022 Jeep Compass and the 2022 Subaru Forester have been engineered to cater huge customer base. But the Forester is well ahead of the Jeep Compass when it comes to overall appeal with far better range reach, cabin seating spaciousness, and cargo capacity. Though it falls short in the towing figures but that is overlooked for its wholesomeness in other utilities. Hence, one should prefer Forester between the two. 

2022 Jeep Compass vs. 2022 Toyota RAV4

A capable off-road with impressive range coverage and spacious interior, the 2022 Toyota RAV4 puts up a better display of feature assets on the table than the 2022 Jeep Compass. Though struggling with its towing abilities against the likes of the Compass, the holistic practicality index of the RAV4 is more generous with composed insulated cabin. So, RAV4 gets the favor here.  

2022 Jeep Compass vs. 2022 Hyundai Tucson

One of the closest rivals of the 2022 Jeep Compass is the 2022 Hyundai Tucson that outclasses the former in all including interior comfort, isolation, and roominess. Its ability to go on in a single refuel also overwhelms the Compass while having the same towing capacity but better acceleration thrust. Hence, Tucson becomes an easy pick over Compass.  

Despite improving from its predecessor in both safety features and driving dynamics, the 2022 Jeep Compass has to vie very hard against its rivals. Be it interior ease, comfortability, or performance figure, the Compass lags behind all the market leaders in the segment. Therefore, it should not be on our wishlist as of now.
