The 2022 Jeep Compass has been revealed in U.S.-spec for the Chicago Auto Show. And it’s pretty much just like its European counterpart, with a modestly updated exterior and a thoroughly overhauled and improved interior. But under the freshened body, the new Compass is pretty much like the old one.
The main design differences on the Compass include revised front and rear fascias. The front gets slightly smaller slots, and the lower grille is enlarged. The headlights are smaller, and all models get LED units, with reflector versions on entry-level models and projector ones on higher trims. The differences at the back lie mainly in restyled taillights.
The biggest changes to the car are on the interior. Gone is the lumpy, plasticky dash of the old Compass. In its place is the lower, wider, cleaner version from the European car. It features an upholstered and stitched middle panel that adds some variety and some more pleasant materials, and has nicely integrated air vents. The infotainment system now uses Uconnect 5, and the Compass comes with a 8.4-inch touchscreen standard, with a 10.1-inch screen available. Higher trim levels can also be had with a 10.25-inch instrument screen.
