AUBURN
HILLS, Mich., June 14,
2022 /PRNewswire/ --
- Highest possible ratings in each of six IIHS crashworthiness
tests
- Standard-equipment automatic emergency braking (AEB) technology
graded "superior"
- "Advanced" rating for pedestrian-detection technology
- More than 75 available safety and security features – most in
its class
- Compass sales up 22%
The new 2022 Jeep® Compass has earned a TOP SAFETY PICK rating
from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for
2022.
The rating applies to models equipped with LED projector or LED
reflector headlamps, when paired with high-beam assist.
"The new 2022 Jeep Compass demonstrates our steadfast commitment
to customer satisfaction," said Jim
Morrison, vice president, Jeep brand North America. "The Compass blends exceptional
active and passive safety features with legendary Jeep 4x4
capability. The result is outstanding value for our customers and
their families."
The SUV's TOP SAFETY PICK rating was driven by its performance
in six IIHS crashworthiness tests that included three types of
frontal crashes. The remaining tests evaluate behavior in a side
impact, rear impact and a rollover.
The 2022 Jeep Compass achieved the highest possible score in
each.
Further, the vehicle's automatic emergency braking technology –
Full-speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking – earned
the highest possible rating of "superior," while its
Pedestrian/Cyclist Automatic Emergency Braking system was rated
"advanced."
Both features, which are standard equipment on the 2022 Jeep
Compass, are designed to detect imminent collisions and, in certain
conditions, automatically apply the vehicle's brakes.
These are among more than 75 available safety and security
features. Others include Active Lane Management and Rear Cross Path
detection.
Despite a challenging market, U.S. Compass sales were up 22% in
the first quarter of this year, compared with the first three
months of 2021.
