2020 Jeep Compass
small SUV / 4-door SUV
Small overlap front: driver-side
Tested vehicle: 2017 Jeep Compass Sport 4-door 4wd
Rating applies to 2017-21 models built after December 2016
The Jeep Compass was redesigned during the 2017 model year. (A short run of old-design 2017 models was produced through December 2016.) All 2017 and later Compass models built after December 2016 are the redesigned vehicles. (Information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on the driver door or adjacent B-pillar.)

Headlights
Ratings are given for 4 different headlight variations available on this vehicle.
(1) Trim level(s): Latitude trim equipped with Premium Lighting Group and Advanced Safety Group packages, Trailhawk trim equipped with Premium Lighting Group and Advanced Safety Group packages, Limited trim equipped with Premium Lighting Group and Advanced Safety Group packages
| Evaluation criteria | Rating |
|---|---|
| Low-beam headlight type | HID projector |
| High-beam headlight type | HID projector |
| Curve-adaptive? | No |
| High-beam assist? | Yes |
|
Overall rating | |
| Distance at which headlights provide at least 5 lux illumination: | |
Low beams
On the straightaway, visibility was fair on the left side of the road and inadequate on the right side. On curves, visibility was good on the gradual right curve, fair on the sharp right and sharp left curves, and inadequate on the gradual left curve.
The low beams never exceeded glare limits.
High beams
On the straightaway, visibility was inadequate on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was fair on the gradual right and gradual left curves and inadequate on the sharp right and sharp left curves.
High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle's low beams on the straightaway and all 4 curves.
