Comparison Review

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

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Jeep Compass as you will with the Mitsubishi Outlander, 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). When looking only at MSRP, the Jeep Compass will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Mitsubishi Outlander.

Dimensions
The Jeep Compass is a little narrower than the Mitsubishi Outlander, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. 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 Mitsubishi Outlander.

Handling
The Jeep Compass has the same turning radius as the Mitsubishi Outlander, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

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

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Jeep Compass transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Mitsubishi Outlander.

Utility
The Jeep Compass has less seating than the Mitsubishi Outlander, making the Mitsubishi Outlander the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Jeep Compass has less cargo space than the Mitsubishi Outlander, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
