Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Niro than in the Jeep Compass, due to its greater head- and legroom.
The Kia Niro 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
The Kia Niro requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Jeep Compass, making it more convenient to drive.
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). Whether you pick the Jeep Compass or the Kia Niro, it's going to cost you about the same.
Dimensions
Since the Jeep Compass is much wider than the Kia Niro, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
When looking at overall length, the Jeep Compass takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Kia Niro.
Handling
The Jeep Compass has the same turning radius as the Kia Niro, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Jeep Compass greatly out-muscles the Kia Niro.
Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Jeep Compass does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia Niro.
Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Jeep Compass and the Kia Niro.
The Jeep Compass has less cargo space than the Kia Niro, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
