Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Cherokee than in the Jeep Compass. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Jeep Cherokee and the Jeep Compass.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Jeep Cherokee as you will with the Jeep Compass, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Jeep Cherokee is somewhat more expensive than the Jeep Compass.

Dimensions
The Jeep Cherokee is about the same width as the Jeep Compass. If you go with the Jeep Cherokee, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Jeep Compass.

Handling
The Jeep Cherokee has a larger turning radius than the Jeep Compass, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Jeep Cherokee will do just as well as the Jeep Compass, since they have about the same towing capacity. The Jeep Cherokee has a little less horsepower than the Jeep Compass.

Powertrain
The Jeep Cherokee has much lower torque than the Jeep Compass, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Jeep Cherokee and the Jeep Compass. The Jeep Cherokee has less cargo space than the Jeep Compass, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
