This is a Motormouth couple car review of the updated 2022 Jeep Compass Trailhawk subcompact SUV. Jeep tweaked the exterior of the Compass with a refreshed front and rear fascia, smaller LED headlights, a larger lower grille, thinner grille slats, new taillights, available 16” to 19” wheels depending on the trim you choose, an available gloss black roof that extends the length of the vehicle and an available power liftgate making it easy to load and unload your cargo. It is powered by a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine with 177 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque. AWD models come with a 9-speed automatic transmission, FWD models a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Compass is a pretty good city run around but once you get it on the highway, I find the engine to be lethargic and quite loud when accelerating to pass another vehicle. This Jeep comes with 4x4 capability and the Selec-Terrain Traction Management System giving you the confidence to tackle different road conditions with confidence. The system features Sand/Mud, Snow and Auto settings. We are driving the Trailhawk model which is trail rated with more ground clearance of 8.6” compared to other models with 7.7”. Exclusive to the Trailhawk is hill descent and Rock Mode that doubles down on traction control to help tackle challenging conditions during on or off-road travels. The biggest changes come to the interior, there is less hard plastic compared to the outgoing model and it has a more modern design. The Compass comes with a standard 8.4” touchscreen with Uconnect 5, available 10.1” touchscreen and 10.25” digital driver display on the higher trims. Available heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, wireless charger and a 9-speaker Alpine Premium audio system. Available safety systems include, blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, forward collision warning and active lane management. There are plenty of trims to choose from with a FWD starting price of $29,795 CAD/$26,785 USD and AWD $31,295 CAD/$28,285 USD. Our test model Trailhawk with standard AWD starts at $38,995 CAD/$34,605 USD. Price as tested $44,480 CAD.
