Comparison Review

Comfort
The Jeep Compass offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Nissan Murano. The Nissan Murano will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Jeep Compass.

Convenience
The Nissan Murano 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). Clearly, the Jeep Compass is a better financial choice over the Nissan Murano, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Jeep Compass is much slimmer than the Nissan Murano, 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 Nissan Murano.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Jeep Compass is clearly the choice over the Nissan Murano for pulling heavy loads. The Jeep Compass has a little less horsepower than the Nissan Murano.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Jeep Compass doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Nissan Murano.

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