The 2022 Jeep Compass can steer its own course. The updated subcompact SUV, which was originally launched in 2017, will be available with what Jeep refers to as a "semi-autonomous" feature that blends adaptive cruise control and lane-centering to control the vehicle on the highway as long as the driver keeps their hands on the wheel. The Highway Assist will be available later in the 2022 model year, while other driver aids including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection and a 360-degree birds-eye parking camera will be ready at launch this fall. The only engine remains a 177 hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission on front-wheel-drive models and a 9-speed automatic with all-wheel-drive.
