How much does the 2022 Jeep Compass cost?

Prices have softened 8.25% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,465 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 Jeep Compass a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Jeep Compass earns a 5/5 user rating and a 6.3/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 8/10.

Owners commonly praise its value for money, comfort, and impressive features, and many also like the interior design and performance. In use, that lines up with the Compass’s more upscale cabin presentation and its appeal for buyers who want a compact SUV with a richer feel.

The trade-offs are clear: the expert review calls out fairly pedestrian performance and poor value for money. If you want a small SUV with premium touches and a polished cabin rather than the strongest powertrain or the sharpest bargain, the Compass fits that brief well. It also lands in a market where 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Is the 2022 Jeep Compass reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with praise centered on comfort, value, and features. The expert review also notes that Jeep includes three years of free scheduled maintenance through Jeep Wave, which helps reduce early ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about day-to-day satisfaction and more about making sure the specific vehicle has been maintained properly and checked carefully before you buy.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Jeep Compass?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate, even if the listing looks clean. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that checks the drivetrain, suspension, and electronics, and pay close attention to how the cabin, controls, and safety systems have held up.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup starts with Sport and moves through Latitude, Latitude Lux, Limited, Trailhawk, and High Altitude. The base trim is the least upscale, while higher trims add the richer materials and equipment that make the Compass feel more premium.
• Powertrain: Every 2022 Compass uses a 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 177 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel-drive models use a six-speed automatic, while AWD models use a nine-speed automatic; the review says the engine feels slow and the transmission can be reluctant to downshift.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. Highway Assist is added later in the model year, and parking assistance plus a 360-degree camera are available.
• Infotainment: An 8.4-inch touchscreen is standard, with a 10.1-inch screen available. Wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, over-the-air updates, and voice text-to-reply are included, along with Bluetooth for two devices.
• Fuel efficiency: The expert review says the test vehicle averaged 23.8 mpg in mixed driving, and the EPA figure cited for that setup was 25 mpg combined.

Which 2022 Jeep Compass trim should I buy?

The 2022 Jeep Compass is offered in 6 trim levels: Sport, Latitude, Latitude Lux, Limited, Trailhawk, and High Altitude.

Here's the short version:

• Sport: This is the entry point, so it makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Compass lineup, but it will feel the least premium.
• Latitude: This is the trim to start with if you want a better balance of equipment and price without jumping too far up the range.
• Latitude Lux: This is the best-value trim if you want more of the upscale feel that defines the Compass without going all the way to the top.
• Limited: Choose this if you want a more polished, better-equipped Compass and are willing to pay for it.
• Trailhawk: This is the one to buy if you want the most capable version for rougher terrain and off-pavement use.
• High Altitude: This is the most luxurious and fully loaded version, with the richest presentation and the strongest premium vibe.

Safety equipment is broad across the lineup, and the available Highway Assist, parking assistance, and surround-view camera add useful convenience where equipped.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Jeep Compass?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market.

• Deal availability: 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,465 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.25% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 84.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $20,470, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Jeep Compass's resale value?

The current average of $20,470 sits slightly below last year's $22,309.

That decline suggests the Compass has softened in the used market, which can help you as a buyer but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If prices stay near this level, future sellers may need to lean on condition, trim, and equipment to stand out.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Jeep Compass safe?

The 2022 Jeep Compass earns a three-star rollover resistance rating from NHTSA.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Every version comes with forward-collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. Highway Assist is added later in the model year, pairing adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assistance, and parking assistance plus a 360-degree camera are available.

The review also notes a couple of caveats: the lane-keep assist can feel too obvious at lower speeds, and the forward-collision warning system produced some false positives in testing.

Should I buy a 2022 Jeep Compass or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.25% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 update improves refinement, tech, and safety equipment over earlier Compass models.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $22,244, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $20,470 average.
• It adds a new turbocharged engine and standard all-wheel drive.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2022 is the smarter buy because it offers a lower average price and strong owner satisfaction. If you’re willing to spend more for the newer mechanical upgrade, the 2023 is the better path.

Expert Pros & Cons (per CarGurus review team)

2022 Jeep Compass:

• Pros: Premium interior materials, Impressive technology.
• Cons: Fairly pedestrian performance, Poor value for money.

2022 Mazda CX-30:

Our experts score the 2022 Jeep Compass 6.3/10 and the 2022 Mazda CX-30 8/10.
