2019 Jeep Cherokee vs 2019 Jeep Compass- Car Comparison

The re-designing of Compass held in 2017, although even the slightest up-gradation would have been a meaningful update over unsatisfying the previous-generation model. While they have some notable differences and obvious similarities, let us find out?

The Matchup

Although the Cherokee and Compass share a showroom and fight within the same category of compact crossovers and SUVs. They moreover have distinctly different proportions and disposition. The Cherokee is about 10 inches longer than its smaller sibling. It further has nearly three inches more between its axles.

However, considering interior measurements both vehicles are similar. This is further together with the Cherokee’s 103 cubic feet of passenger space. This furthermore follows by 28 cubes of cargo volume only slightly bettering the Compass’s figures.

Above all, both models come standard with a naturally aspirated 180-hp 2.4-liter inline-four. The Cherokee also offers the options of both a torquey turbo 2.0-liter for making 270 horsepower. Moreover, a 3.2-liter V-6 good for 271 horses. A nine-speed automatic transmission is basic on all Cherokees and most Compass models.

However, the latter is having a six-speed manual transmission in its base front-wheel-drive form. Thus, comparing it with the Compass and other compact utes, such as the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4, the Cherokee’s 4500-pound maximum towing capacity. Further when properly equipped makes it a heavy hauler in this class.

On the Road

Above all, both the Jeep have about eight inches of ground clearance and all-wheel drive with selectable settings. They lack the locking rear differentials and other off-road hardware, you may find on their more rugged Trail hawk versions. Instead, both vehicles wear 19-inch wheels cover with all-season tires.

They further cater more to commuting than rutted trails. Moreover, while the 7.2-second zero-to-60-mph time there has been a record for a previous all-wheel-drive. Besides this, Cherokee V-6 is merely adequate; its engine does emit a more pleasing sound than its four-cylinder peers do.

Further, there is the hegemony of both of the Jeeps’ driving experiences by the lethargic and dim-witted behavior of their nine-speed automatic transmissions. However, the Compass consists of its floppy body control and bouncy and unrefined ride quality. Further, its chassis is less stiff than the Cherokee’s, transmitting shudders through the cowl and steering column.

Besides this, The Cherokee’s feel, soft suspension, and significant body roll in corners earn it little praise on the road. This is all due to its linear steering and relatively decent ride comfort.

The Inside View

Above all, It’s difficult to find a comfortable driving position in the Compass. Further, it features clunker ergonomics for its switchgear and primary controls. Moreover, having a single cubic foot separating their cargo volumes with their seats raised, neither Jeep has a big advantage.

Further, you may manage to fit seven carry-on suitcases in the back of the Cherokee and six inside the Compass. Furthermore, along with a slightly taller lift-over height for loading cargo through the rear hatch, the Compass also has less interior cubby storage.

Highs: There is an optional V-6 power, class-leading towing capacity, decent ride quality.

Lows: Lumpy seats, inflated price, and moreover sporadic transmission behavior.

Jeep Compass High Altitude AWD

Highs: Mini Grand Cherokee styling, nimble in tight spaces, and decent cargo capacity.

Lows: It gives a sluggish performance, poor ride quality, poor cabin ergonomic, and moreover poor value proposition.

The Bottom Line

Despite both the Jeep Compass and Cherokee coming from the same manufacturer and having usable interior space. Further, It appears as if they are different. As Jeeps, both appear as attractive in Trail hawk guise for the added capability that trim level brings.

However, offering better combinations of road manners, value, and comfort, neither is a compelling choice at their higher price points. While Jeep would be a good option to consolidate its focus on one entry in this competitive market. Further, the Cherokee’s greater towing capacity, interior, moreover powerful engine options, and better overall execution make it an ideal choice.
