2022 Jeep Compass price and specs: Night Eagle added, prices up again

The Jeep Compass has been hit by the second round of price rises in four months – and a new model has been added.


  • 2022 Jeep Compass pricing and specifications
  • Night Eagle base grade replaces Launch Edition
  • Option packs, base prices more expensive
  • Priced from $39,950 before on-road costs

The 2022 Jeep Compass has been revised for the new year – with the second round of price rises in four months and the addition of a new variant.

Replacing the Launch Edition introduced with the Compass small SUV’s mid-life facelift last year – and returning from the small Jeep's pre-facelift range – the new Night Eagle variant is similar in terms of standard features, but adds black finishes to the 18-inch wheels, roof, badges, and exterior and interior trim.

However, the Night Eagle is $2000 more expensive than the variant it replaces, now priced from $39,950 before on-road costs, an increase of more than 5 per cent.

The rest of the Compass range (comprising Limited, S-Limited and Trailhawk variants) is up $1000 compared to late-2021 pricing (when the previous round of price rises came into force in November/December), or up $1400 over the figures announced at the facelift's launch last year – despite no new standard equipment.

The prices of premium paint and the optional panoramic sunroof have increased to $895 (from $645) and $2200 (from $1950) respectively, while the S-Limited and Trailhawk’s option packages are each $245 more expensive than before.

Standard equipment lists for the other three (unchanged) variants are included at the bottom of this story, with prices listed above them.

Powering the Compass Night Eagle, Limited and S-Limited is a shared 2.4-litre non-turbo four-cylinder petrol engine, developing 129kW and 229Nm. It’s paired to a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive in the Night Eagle, or a nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive in the other variants.

Meanwhile, the Trailhawk upgrades to a 125kW/350Nm 2.0-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. This engine requires AdBlue diesel exhaust fluid.

Pearl White will be available to order from July 2022, replacing Bright White on the exterior colour palette.

The 2022 Jeep Compass range is on sale now.
