2022 Jeep Compass fuel economy (EPA)

The EPA rates the 2022 Jeep Compass at 25 MPG combined. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.

City, highway and combined figures are in MPG (MPGe on electricity).

VersionEngineTransmission · driveCityHwyComb.Fuel / yrCO₂ g/mi
Compass FWD2.4L 4-cylinderstop-start6-speed automatic · FWD22MPG31MPG25MPG$2,500350
Compass 4WD2.4L 4-cylinderstop-start9-speed automatic · AWD22MPG30MPG25MPG$2,500358

Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.

Cold tire pressure
Not a single number: the owner's manual refers to the tire and loading placard, which lists the pressures for your exact tire size and load.
Spare
Manual describes a compact spare, a non-matching full-size spare or a tire service kit, depending on equipment; neither spare type has a pressure sensor.
Lug nut torque
100 ft-lb (135 N·m), M12 x 1.25 thread, 19 mm socket
Pressure monitor
A tire pressure monitoring system warns when a tire is low.

Sizes and pressures vary by trim, wheel package and load: check the placard on your vehicle and the tire sidewall. Sizes from the manufacturer's specification sheet (2022 Jeep Compass Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2022 Jeep Compass maintenance schedule

The factory schedule for normal driving. Oil changes follow the oil-change indicator on most models; severe use (towing, dusty roads, lots of idling) shortens some intervals.

A dot means the service is due at that mileage or after that many years, whichever comes first.

  • If using your vehicle in dusty or off-road conditions, inspect the engine air cleaner filter, and replace if necessary
  • Inspect the brake linings, replace if necessary
  • Inspect the front suspension, tie rod ends and boot seals, replace if necessary
  • Inspect the CV/Universal joints
  • Replace the cabin air filter

At every oil change

  • Change oil and filter
  • Rotate the tires at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the oil indicator system turns on
  • Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as required
  • Inspect the CV/Universal joints
  • Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, and hoses
  • Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses
  • Inspect exhaust system
  • Inspect engine air cleaner filter if using in dusty or off-road conditions, replace the engine air cleaner filter if necessary

Back over prevention: sensing system: cameraJune 13, 2024 · Campaign 24V436000Over-the-air fix

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Dodge Durango, 2021-2023 Chrysler Pacifica, Jeep Grand Cherokee L, 2022 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, Chrysler Voyager, 2022-2023 Jeep Compass, Grand Cherokee, Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, and Ram Promaster vehicles. The radio software may prevent the rearview image from displaying. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Risk: A rearview camera image that does not display decreases the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will update the radio software or the software will be OTA, "Over-The-Air," free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning July 9, 2024. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's numbers for this recall are 66B and 79B.

Electrical system: instrument cluster/panelAugust 14, 2023 · Campaign 23V576000

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Jeep Compass vehicles. The brightness level of the instrument panel cluster (IPC) may not be adjustable due to incorrect software in the body control module (BCM). As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 101, "Control and Displays."

Risk: An IPC display that is not bright enough may not clearly show critical safety information, such as the speedometer or warning lights, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will update the body control module (BCM) software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 29, 2023. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is 88A.

Electrical system: instrument cluster/panelFebruary 9, 2023 · Campaign 23V058000

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Jeep Compass vehicles. The instrument panel center cluster display may be insufficiently illuminated and may not appear visible during daytime driving conditions. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 101, "Control and Displays."

Risk: An instrument panel display that is not visible to the driver may result in the inability to see safety-critical information, such as the fuel gauge and warning lights, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will replace the windshield and headlamp switch, add a light sensor module, and add a wiring jumper harness to allow the instrument panel center cluster display backlighting to function correctly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 30, 2023.

Campaign 23V058000 on NHTSA.gov
Seats: front assembly: head restraintApril 14, 2022 · Campaign 22V248000

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Jeep Compass vehicles. The front seat head restraints were not welded properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 202, "Head Restraints."

Risk: Improperly welded head restraints can result in an increased risk of injury to seat occupants during a crash.

Fix: Dealers will replace both front seat head restraints, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 3, 2022. Owners may contact FCA US LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is Z36.

Salt, snow and hills: the data

Reading the 2022 Compass data for Great Lakes roads

From the Snowbelt east of Cleveland to the ridges of West Virginia and east Tennessee, this part of the country throws salt, snow and grade at every vehicle. Here is how the 2022 Jeep Compass specifications line up against all three.

Wheels, tires and freeze-thaw roads

The smallest 2022 factory size is 215/65R16, the largest 235/45R19. Each thaw in Michigan and Ohio opens new potholes, and a tall sidewall survives them best: the 16-inch fitment flexes over a sharp edge where a low-profile tire can pinch or bend its wheel. After a hard hit, look for a sidewall bubble.

Oil capacity is 5.5 qt, and the manual lists SAE 0W-20. Where more than one engine appears in the lineup, the engine code on the window sticker settles which grade applies. The wrong one in an Ohio winter gives up a little protection on every cold start, and over years of driveway starts that adds up.

Cranking power for a lake-effect morning

Rated battery output: 500 cold-cranking amps, measured at 0°F. A single-digit night in Traverse City or Fort Wayne cuts what the battery can deliver just as the stiff engine asks more of the starter. Past three winters, an October load test tells you more than the date sticker. Charging comes from a 160-amp alternator.

Traction for snowbelt hills and hollows

This model year offers front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. In Ohio, the payoff comes in the first hour of a storm, before plows reach side streets, and on boat ramps slick with algae where a two-wheel-drive tow vehicle can spin. Keep the system's limits in mind on ice: driven wheels add grip for going, not for stopping or turning.

Trailer duty in the schedule

Peak trailer rating this year: 2,000 lb, for one configuration in the towing chart. On Appalachian grades the descent is the harder half of the trip: drop to a lower gear so the engine holds speed, and save the brakes for stopping. The I-24 grade at Monteagle in Tennessee and the long climbs on the West Virginia Turnpike both punish a heavy trailer.

Filters for dust and pollen

The cabin air filter first comes up at 20,000 miles. Spring pollen in the Ohio and Tennessee valleys is heavy, and a clogged cabin filter also slows the defroster in winter because it chokes the blower's airflow. It is a five-minute job on most vehicles.

Fuel grade and winter reserve

Fuel requirement: 87 octane. In winter, keeping the tank above half is a sensible habit across the Great Lakes states, because lake-effect pileups and mountain snow on I-64 or I-77 can leave traffic stopped for hours, and fuel is your heat.
