The Compass scored 14.93 out of 16 in the frontal offset crash test and scored full points in the side barrier and the side poll tests obtaining a total 16 and 2 points respectively. Additionally, whiplash protection was rated as good.
As for pedestrian protection, the SUV scored good or acceptable rating except for the base of the windshield and the A-pillars by scoring 29.01 out of a possible 36 points in this test.
Of the maximum 37 points, the Jeep Compass scored 35.93 points in the ANCAP crash test rating. The ANCAP will move towards adopting standardised testing as per the Euro NCAP format and will be testing the cars on four parameters: adult occupant protection, child occupant protection, pedestrian protection and safety assist. The lowest performing parameter of the assessment will decide the final star rating.

Jeep is looking to set standards while manufacturing their vehicles in India as it looks to sell made-in-India vehicles to other RHD markets. The ANCAP rating reflects the American brand's penchant for safety and quality.
