Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Wagoneer L than in the Jeep Compass, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Jeep Wagoneer L offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Jeep Compass, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
With the Jeep Wagoneer L, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Jeep Compass, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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). Clearly, the Jeep Compass is a better financial choice over the Jeep Wagoneer L, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Jeep Compass is much slimmer than the Jeep Wagoneer L, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Jeep Compass, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Jeep Wagoneer L.

Handling
The Jeep Compass has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Jeep Wagoneer L, allowing you to much more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Jeep Wagoneer L is clearly the choice over the Jeep Compass for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Jeep Compass has a lot less horsepower than the Jeep Wagoneer L.

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

Utility
