#CoupleCarReview
This is a Motormouth couple car review of the updated 2022 Jeep Compass Trailhawk subcompact SUV. Jeep tweaked the exterior of the Compass with a refreshed front and rear fascia, smaller LED headlights, a larger lower grille, thinner grille slats, new taillights, available 16” to 19” wheels depending on the trim you choose, an available gloss black roof that extends the length of the vehicle and an available power liftgate making it easy to load and unload your cargo. It is powered by a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine with 177 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque. AWD models come with a 9-speed automatic transmission, FWD models a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Compass is a pretty good city run around but once you get it on the highway, I find the engine to be lethargic and quite loud when accelerating to pass another vehicle. This Jeep comes with 4x4 capability and the Selec-Terrain Traction Management System giving you the confidence to tackle different road conditions with confidence. The system features Sand/Mud, Snow and Auto settings. We are driving the Trailhawk model which is trail rated with more ground clearance of 8.6” compared to other models with 7.7”. Exclusive to the Trailhawk is hill descent and Rock Mode that doubles down on traction control to help tackle challenging conditions during on or off-road travels. The biggest changes come to the interior, there is less hard plastic compared to the outgoing model and it has a more modern design. The Compass comes with a standard 8.4” touchscreen with Uconnect 5, available 10.1” touchscreen and 10.25” digital driver display on the higher trims. Available heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, wireless charger and a 9-speaker Alpine Premium audio system. Available safety systems include, blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, forward collision warning and active lane management. There are plenty of trims to choose from with a FWD starting price of $29,795 CAD/$26,785 USD and AWD $31,295 CAD/$28,285 USD. Our test model Trailhawk with standard AWD starts at $38,995 CAD/$34,605 USD. Price as tested $44,480 CAD.

So to round it up the Jeep compass is a over priced piece of crap! Lol and yes I've driven one! What a disappointment. That engine and transmission are horrendous!
“Have a snack when passing on the highway “… haha…that’s funny 😆.
I have this exact vehicle and it is great , the issue with the engine is overstated by every road test , its very good and unless its foot to the floor and 6000 rpm the interior noise is comparable to the competition , using the adaptive cruise and highway assist the ride is great , a couple of hundred miles on a free vehicle does not really tell the real accurate story
Tiger-shark? , more like Wombat-pig. How long are they going to keep that outdated , underpowered, fuel guzzling excuse for an engine?
This Compass looks great inside and out plus it has good ground clearance. With that being said there's no excuses to have a motor with horrible NVH and slow performance. So many manufacturers have found that balance between fuel economy and refinement when it comes to 4 cylinder engines.
Thanks, you 2 just killed about a thousand sales or more for the Jeep Compass !
Buy used ones they are dirt cheap.
I bought one, Love it
And there is nothing wrong with the noise of the engine. It’s an engine that does make noise.
These two are clowns. Don’t listen to them. I bought one as I said a few weeks ago with 9,652 miles. It’s great looking and we are in Wisconsin although not much snow this year so we haven’t experienced how it is in the snow. The extras in the interior and look is why we bought it.
@@Jagsminers they are also giving their opinion,
that's what a review is, it's a subjective opinion.
some people get too caught up in what people say
up here, but i don't put much stock into TH-cam.
My sister had a 2021 and she let me drive it up a hill and i had to gun it to get it to go 30 up the hill and barely did that. She had to have the engine replaced 2x for oil consumption issue. Never ran right after the 2nd motor in 1 year and got a different vehicle.
Stellantis replaced this 2.4 engine here in Brazil for the 1.3 Turbo 4 cylinder (180hp), the engine is responsive and powerful enough for a compact SUV
Just another piece of crap, Chrysler shitbox!!!
I really like how you guys push so much content so frequently. The arrangements of car, recording the video, editing, logistics etc. how do you guys manage it all?
We are tired... But it's fun too
It can be a lot especially when we travel but we love doing what we do. So glad to hear you are enjoying it, thank you.
@@andreaspencer9813 i was just discussing with my gf that this might also be a very strong bonding experience for you guys. Not many people get to work (which almost looks like full time) with their partners
@@abhardwaj02 Absolutely, we wouldn't have it any other way 👌
@@andreaspencer9813 looking forward to vinfast vf8!
When Zach said he wanted to see if it was the driver was hilarious the look on Andrea face 🤣
Somebody has to occupy the bottom layer....
A family member had a liberty. Total garbage. Caused so much stress. Was in the shop so much it was unbearable. After hearing the problems she has I'd never buy a jeep/dodge/ram/ Chrysler product.
I just saw another review of the Compass Trailhawk with pretty much every other comparable SUV you can think off and it was near the bottom for off-roading. The chassis was not rigid enough (the door wouldn't close at an angle) and it hardly made it up an incline with logs. Very very disappointing for a Jeep. And yes we heard the engine, sooo loud!
the 4wd system also breaks in that video. "Service 4wd"
Compass and Renegade are perfect vehicles for those who want a "rugged" Jeep image. Trailblazer and Encore GX are more like another GM "rental special" which I will have a chance to try them, when I am going on a trip at an airport rental lots somewhere in Chicago or SFO. Ecosport is just a pathetic joke which Ford tried to milk this segment, thank godness it will be discontinued.
My wife has a 2022 Compass trail hawk and loves it. I have a f150 with a 3.5 twin turbo and i can say yes the jeep is not nearly as fast but has no problem passing or going up hills. No one drives with their foot to the floor to get going either. The jeep is a pleasure to drive and also is a beast in the snow and has good off road capability. Don't be afraid to buy one as it's a great fun to drive and great looking vehicle.
Exactly there making issues that arnt really issues
@@cryptic6245they are reliable vehicles too?
You have a fully loaded vehicle and all you do is shit on the engine the entire review. You barely talked about the improved interior. Alpine stereo, full surround cameras, digital cluster, 4 modes of off road etc. You might do car reviews but I don’t think either of you know shit about cars.
Wow this might be the worst car you ever reviewed yet?
I still would never buy a Jeep/Chrysler product. Low quality control and lack of reliability.
What a joke. That engine is overdue for retirement. I am 75 and I think that it is older then me! Overprice and out dated véhicule.
It's a Jeep, it's Crap, doesn't pass any crash tests... you would be an idiot to put your family in one of these Tin Cans...
Subaru for this guy!!!
This engine is the 'world engine' , both 4 and 6 cyl versions the result of joint project between Chrysler (while owned by benz) , Mitsubishi , and Hyundai.
Problem is the former two made no improvements while Hyundai continued to refine and improve its versions of the base 4 and 6.
FYI: Hyundai did block, Mitsu the heads, Chrysler the intake and exhaust systems in the base versions.
It'll be replaced by a PSA engine (or hybrid system) soon.
Guess Jeep will not be sending you another vehicle to review:)
I like my Jeep but it’s loud when I go faster. Noisy engine 👎🏻😊
Good laughs guys! 😂 It’s ok to me. I never like the Jeep and price wise not worth it. Cheers! 👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Glad you enjoyed it. Honesty is the best policy 😉
@@andreaspencer9813 Agree Andrea! 👍🏻
This is a prime example of a vehicle selling mainly on its image/looks; the poor performance, NVH, reliability and value would make anyone looking for a sensible purchase not touch it with a 10-ft pole! On reliability, I don't pay any attention to the JD Powers' ratings which are totally out of whack both in comparison to anecdotal evidence with different brands and to the ratings of other, more reputable sources like Consumer Reports. Thanks for a most useful, yet entertaining, review; it's refreshing to see reviewers who properly call out issues they find in a car as opposed to many of the other reviewers who sugarcoat heir comments so as not to offend the car companies!
I will never figure out why the people at Jeep will not put the engineering into the powertrain they put into the 4wd systems..that 2.4 engine is a crappy engine and has been for years..but it sells..in everything from Hyundai's to these...someone..grab them by the collar and tell them to get a powertrain to match the capabilty...thanks for the honest review..nice inside...ah..lets move on to the Crosstrek
i love your comment on this vehicle but it is true. I hope they put the 4Xe engine on this one then we have something to talk about. As always very good presentation and honest review .
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Shit On Wheels
Lmaooo
I'd take a CX-30 over this, in fact I did last year. I bought a GT Turbo.
I sure remember test driving this Jeep and yes sounds the same.
Great review.
Looks like Stellantis is doing wonders for Jeep. Still would take a Japanese/Korean competitor over this Jeep, great review!
I drove this vehicle a few years back, so things might have changed (but the exterior looks exactly the same). I really thought the drive was great, if I just wanted to go straight. Turning, even on a gentle curve, was not a strength of this vehicle. Every turn was an adventure.
It's a Jeep, it's Crap, doesn't pass any crash tests... you would be an idiot to put your family in one of these Tin Cans...
@@graemejohnson9025 what vehicles do you recommend for a family, I am looking to upgrade to an suv from my Toyota Corolla 16, not a huge suv just a small size decent suv doesn’t need all the bells n whistles. Affordable yet worth it. I only have 2 kids don’t need a Tahoe.
I bought the 2022 Red edition. I have no issues with it. It's not a sports car so why does it need to be fast? Get in relax enjoy the comfortable seats listen to some good tunes and just cruise to your destination. I remember when 177hp was pretty respectable numbers. I remember the 2001 jeeps only had 190 hp inline 6 and weighed more. It's funny how everyone wants a ridiculously fast accelerating SUV. 1992 Camaro RS 305 v8 only had 170 hp and was considered fast in the 90's. I'd say 177 hp from 2.4l engine is pretty good for a na engine.
2023 has 2.0L turbo with 8spd 4x4 all new Compass trims
It's a Fiat Heep
I love your honesty in your reviews, Jeep…let’s be honest Fiat has always had a problem with this engine and transmission, they are prone to failure
I’ll just say that my 2019 Compass is yellow, like a lemon! It’s a real piece alright. Doesn’t come close in reliability, capability, quality, to my ‘87 XJ.
Amazing how a brand can lose it so badly.
Which one doesn't struggle? Every suv crossover you say struggles. I need some power driving in the city.
It's a budget small crossover and you both are trying to review it like your comparing it to an Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrofoglio.......SMH
JD Power: Ranks MAZDA below Dodge, Chevy, and MINI. Also ranks Honda near the vary bottom below Nissan.
I have officially lost all faith in JD Power.... While we are at it JD Power, why not just slap Nissan above Toyota and then we can all collectively, at a glance, throw this list in a fire where it belongs.
This is the same Chrysler engine that I had in a 2010 Sebring. I never had a problem with it. Noisy? Yes. But rock solid. 177,000 miles (not km) when I sold it to a high school kid.
Ellerine emeğine yüreğine sağlık süper 💯💯💯💯💯..
The Jeep Compass was JUNK when it was initially released, and it still is.
Great review 👏. As for the Jeep, its reliability is very spotty. I'd look at the Frontier
It's a Jeep, it's Crap, doesn't pass any crash tests... you would be an idiot to put your family in one of these Tin Cans...
Jeep has had a lot of bad publicity here in Australia over the years and their sales have been spiralling down year on year.
Lol what's next, a 3 cylinder model with 60hp?
I love the blackout vinyl graphics on the center of the hood!
Motor at idle sounds like it has a bag of bolts inside it. Have a 2019 has had more things go wrong before 40000km than other vehicle I have had.
My friends to the north tell the truth...amazing they are still using this engine. Thanks.
Your knowledge of the 4WD/AWD system is horrendous. Please research a vehicle before you do a review.
“Hasn’t changed”- hilarious! Love your reviews.
😄
K that was pretty funny 😂😂😂.
For so much revving, not a lot of get up and go. Can't see that engine lasting.
Would not buy because the parent company is Fiat Chrysler. Quality is not number one at Fiat or Chrysler.
It's just a tarted up Fiat 500... buy at your own risk.
Great review as always.
“…or maybe they live in Ontario” had me chuckling.
I’ve heard too many reliability problems with this model- including transmission.
Visually it’s a huge improvement over the older compass which, even tho it was my beloved square box, was fugly.
It is a German designed transmission, tweaked by engineers at Jeep. It isn't exactly the same as the 2017-2021 model. They made improvements, but only time will tell about the efficacy of the tweaks. I, for one, am optimistic and with proper maintenance, it should be better than most are expecting. I still have more research to do on this transmission 😁
Haha Quote of the day... "it's very loud and it's still slow"
😄
Love the “B” roll through the trees. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much!
Lack luster steering atrocious powertrain and over priced, yeah it's a jeep thing. 🤣
Wow how 3 months changes things. Trailhawk is now $42k in CAD...awful. Unreal how they can jack the prices so much so fast.
I own 21 compass and I absolutely love the car great on gas I have no issues passing on the highway it might rip up a little bit before that thing can scoot so these idiots have no idea how to give a review there is nothing wrong with that engine
I can’t believe the tranny in this Jeep shifts slower than a Smart Fortwo! Come on man!
Love the look of it. Disappointed that it's a tad on the slow side but I'm not exactly a lead foot so...
Mate, the compass range looks great. Pity the engines die young...very young. I almost bought one in 2019 here in OZ, did research and found that half the 2.4 engines die between 12 and 18 months. Bought something else. Hope you do too mate, Cheers.
Jeep. I don't get it. Poorly built, cheap interiors...
Big deal, I’ve had this now for 2 weeks and we love it!!
You folks are brutal, but honest!!
Thanks for a good laugh reviewing this non-cheap Jeep.
Glad you enjoyed it
Warranty warranty warranty..... Kia for the win.
"when you go up a hill, it struggles."
Bought one before 3 months ..
Trail hawk model has everything like 360 cam , Under Body Skid plates , Ventilated seats and Many more .. You can adjust the lane assist in many ways using the infotainment system..
If you try to floor it all of sudden it’s gonna make noise yes that’s correct.. Using every day in highway never felt under powered .. Hitting 140km/hr smoothly always.. Never have any single issues..
This time deliberately choose NA engine cz fed up with with Small engine with Turbos after 1 Lakh KM its gonna eat my pocket
Finally a sensible comment , I have the exact vehicle and I do not do 6000rpm everyday so my Jeep is great , drive everyday at 120 with adaptive cruise and highway assist and it is probably best in class , also average 8.3 l/100km
@@geoffstanley9319 I don’t knowing why they hate Jeep this much ..
This review is biased or they didn’t prepared for it ..
New compass trail hawk has almost all the features but they ignored it all
....fyi....the nonverbal communication between you two....priceless.
So its overpriced noisy and has questionable reliability?
There are many vehicles that occupy the compact SUV space that are not..that.
Great review but yuck. This thing is garbage.
Lmao that is crazy with the price for this you can get a base NX, Evoque, GV70. Jeep is milking customers pocket.
I never understood Jeep. Outside of the Grand Cherokee, everyone makes excuses for them. I’ve rented multiple jeeps and been in many. The quirks are supposed to be enduring, but it’s mostly bad quality. The Wrangler can’t go down a road in a straight line and if you drive it in the winter, your head freezes and your feet sweat (and if you get a manual the transmission can pop out of gear). I had a Jeep Compass rental in Puerto Rico, what a POS. It was a joke. It was a few versions older than the current, but I guess it never changes. Same thoughts you had. The regular Cherokee is so so. But the steering is light and the front end feels like it’s a bag of bolts.
Wow...I have a 2012 Jeep Compass...for a moment I thought your review was describing my Jeep...you have to actually be in the car to appreciate how loud it is in the cabin on the highway...like you said on the highway have a plan ready when you need to pass another car and when it is raining
don't you mean "depreciate how loud it is..."?
@@twystedhumour no...to recognize full the experience you have to be in the car
My Chrysler 200 had the same 2.4 engine and IT WAS THE WORST i had 3 engine replacements and it was so loud and underpowered i was so happy the day i got rid of it
Jeep always meant: solid, strong and durable. Then, Jeep was bought with AMC by Chrysler Corp in the early 80's and quality began to swirl around the toilet bowl. Then Fiat took Chryco by the throat. Since then, the swirling to the bottom of that bowl is all but complete. Because we know what Fiat is known for, don't we? (It ain't good!😂)
In the US, the styling is nice, but the powertrain is simply totally mediocre. A crossover that folks will buy once, be dissatisfied, and nobody wants another. My local dealership in Westbury last month had 4 Cherokees for sale, and over 100 Compasses which says it all.
it is no Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk or Grand Cherokee. Jeep is placing the badge on some ? models (trailhawk). You should have reviewed the Cherokee trailhawk with the V6 :).
"The Jeep Compass Trailhawk is the most capable subcompact cross-over there is"
And with that opinion your reputation is toast.
For the price and abysmal fuel economy, why not just get a Subaru outback wilderness. More room inside, quieter cabin, and a lot more power. All for pretty much the same penalty on your wallet
"Hasn't changed!" hahaha Classic
😄
I feel fuel economy on all new cars will be a focus as energy security in regards to fuel is the current issue with large price hikes. The days of ICE cars is gradually drawing to an end and over the next 15-20 yrs will see a complete market shift in my opinion.
Nice looking, great in this color...but the engine is just so-so for city driving. Time for Jeep to invent a new 4 cylinder, no turbo please, and dual-injection is what people want nowadays.
This is exactly why I’m waiting until they can at least update and get rid of this engine!! I test drove a 2018 and it was horrible
The best from Chrysler, why would buy this….hold on…better than a Range Rover 😅
I own a 2011 Mazda CX-7 with the old 166 hp MZR 2.5. It’s slower than this, BUT will out last this thing.
I have driven 4 different years of this jeep and yes don’t try going up a hill with five people. It has the worst trans. It makes no sense, some at keep must have test drive these compass up a hill. The older models were worse .
i've never seen the Spencers bag a vehicle this much. i really thought i was watching a comedy skit! 🤣
I have the same 2022 Jeep Compass Trailhawk sticker price was $40,000
Stallantis, Fiat, Chrysler Junk
The 2L turbo Trailhawk is official for 2023! Edit: Thee manual mode works really well to move up the gears faster.
Can anyone tell me if they ever fixed the oil consumption issue with the Tiger Shark? A friend's wife has a Cherokee with a tiger shark and it drinks oil as well as gas.
The interior does look great and size has always been a good point of the Compass. But yeah buy a Crosstrek.
It’s a JEEP! I’ d NEVER BUY A JEEP
So this car should be popular with the fart can crowd. Loud and slow but driven hard.
That rather gruff-sounding "Trailhawk" at the start of the video caught me off guard
Sounds anemic
🦈🐅 more like 🦥 😅😂
That was an absolutely hilarious question! (Hahaha! I’m still laughing)… ‘Will it overtake the CrossTrek in sales…’. Short answer. No. It won’t.
It is a trendy little CUV. It is better looking than many similar vehicles. The Jeep badge and tech does add some additional value. I personally would not recommend this little runabout to buy, but I wouldn’t hesitate to short term lease it (a lease being based on depreciation), until you could afford something better. Wait! At well over $45,000… EVERYTHING is better. Thanks for the video.
Seems like the easiest solution is to offer the 2.0L Turbo from the Wrangler as an optional engine.
