The 2022 Jeep Compass has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for 2022. There is only one rating above that, Top Safety Pick Plus. There is one caveat: the rating is only for models with LED projector or reflector headlamps when paired with high-beam assist.
The Compass had the highest possible score in six IIHS crashworthiness tests with three types of frontal crashes and side impact, rear impact, and rollover protection; the automatic emergency braking was rated “superior” and Pedestrian/Cyclist Automatic Emergency Braking system was rated “advanced.” Both these latter features are standard on the 2022 Compass, as is Rear Cross Path detection.
Compass sales were up 22% in the United States during the first quarter of 2022, compared with the same time in 2021.
