TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 GMC Terrain is another contender for crossover shoppers’ consideration, but its high price and lack of active safety features keep it on the bench for now.

The 2019 Jeep Compass stays true to the brand’s off-road formula, but bends toward usability rather than capability.

TCC Likes

Handsome exterior shape
Composed ride
Tony Denali trim has luxury bona fides

Handsome exterior
Generous, standard 7.0-inch touchscreen
Rugged Trailhawk option

TCC Dislikes

Part-time all-wheel drive
Diesel adds thousands to bottom line
No more sliding second row

Indecisive 9-speed automatic
Active safety features a spend-up option
Mixed crash-test scores
