Comparison Review

Comfort
The Cadillac OPTIQ offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Jeep Compass, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Cadillac OPTIQ and the Jeep Compass.

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 Cadillac OPTIQ will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Jeep Compass, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Cadillac OPTIQ is a little wider than the Jeep Compass, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. If you go with the Cadillac OPTIQ, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Jeep Compass.

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

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Jeep Compass is clearly the choice over the Cadillac OPTIQ for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Cadillac OPTIQ greatly out-muscles the Jeep Compass.

Powertrain
The Cadillac OPTIQ 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 Cadillac OPTIQ and the Jeep Compass. The Cadillac OPTIQ has less cargo space than the Jeep Compass, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
