When it comes to a Jeep® crossover, there is truly so much to love. They’re capable and powerful, while still remaining maneuverable and efficient. We’re comparing the Jeep Compass and the Jeep Cherokee at Fields Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM Glenview to help you pick a favorite.
Performance
There are eight Jeep Compass models available. Each is powered by a 2.0-liter turbo engine which delivers best-in-class standard ratings of up to 200 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. That gives the SUV a notable 2,000-lb towing capacity.
On the other hand, there are two Jeep Cherokee models available with two distinct powertrains. Maximum power comes from the available 2.0-liter turbo I4 engine, which generates a best-in-class 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. With its available engine, the Jeep Cherokee also delivers a best-in-class towing capacity of up to 4,000 lbs.
Space
While the Jeep Cherokee is slightly larger, the passenger space in each of these five-passenger crossovers is actually fairly similar. And, on another surprising note, the Jeep Compass actually delivers more cargo space. The Jeep Compass can hold up to 59.8 cubic feet of cargo, while the Jeep Cherokee only holds up to 54.7 cubic feet of cargo.
