TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Jeep Compass is smartly sized and priced but lacks in key areas like safety and efficiency.

The 2021 Toyota RAV4 is the meat-and-potatoes crossover for many buyers; the RAV4 Prime supplies the all-electric range.

TCC Likes

Sharp-looking sheetmetal
Standard touchscreen with smartphone tech
Capable Trailhawk trim

Performance plug-in hybrid
Great exterior looks
Wide customization possibilities

TCC Dislikes

…But it's not standard
Sloppy 9-speed automatic
Sub-par crash test scores

Interior is compromised
Prime priced prime near $40,000
Buzzy base inline-4
