Jeep has just refreshed its Compass model series for 2022, with the much-demanded updates. The results are clearly visible in the new exterior design cues as well as in its interior styling. However, the most important change in the 2022 model year lineup of the Jeep Compass series is the presence of a new trim level, named as the Latitude Lux.
On the other hand, the 2022 Jeep Compass continues to use the same 2.0L inline-4 engine rated at 177-hp, known for delivering a standard on-road performance but goes exemplary when tested on the off-road patches, commented a seller at the Morganton Jeep dealership.
The refreshed design of the 2022 Jeep Compass looks elegant, both inside and out. While the exterior goes crisp with some smart updates, the inside cabin flaunts some new design elements that follow the latest state-of0-the-art recipe.
The new feature, you get to see in the 2022 Jeep Compass models as standard, is the new 10.1-inch touchscreen display that stands taller than before. The latest infotainment system now also includes a wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay functionality. There are improvements done in the safety corner as well. The 2022 Jeep Compass models are now safer to drive. They secure your rides with the most advanced safety technologies like Automatic emergency braking, a 360-degree view camera with a Blind-spot monitoring system, Adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist that works with a Lane departure warning, a Rear cross-traffic alert with Rear parking sensors, and a Post-collision safety system. Driving the 2022 Jeep Compass becomes easier in hilly regions with a Hill descent control working towards preventing it from a backward body roll while its rain-sensing windshield wipers help you drive through rains.
