2019 Jeep Compass vs. Its Competition

2019 Jeep Compass
Aaron Cole Aaron Cole Managing Editor

The 2019 Jeep Compass competes in a growing subset of crossovers that defy classification—they’re not too big, not too small.

The Tucson is a little smaller than the Compass, but offers exceptional value in most of its trims.

The Kia Sportage is among the least fuel-efficient in the class because it’s the among the most spacious.

The Crosstrek is capable, but slow—not too far from the Jeep, really.

The GMC Terrain and related Chevy Equinox can be fitted with costly diesel powertrains that add thousands to the price tag.

Quick Specs
5.2
The 2019 Jeep Compass stays true to the brand’s off-road formula, but bends toward usability rather than capability.
5.5
There’s a lot to like about the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox, even if the best configuration requires a careful hand on the order sheet.
6.0
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.
6.3
The 2019 Hyundai Tucson hot-swaps one of its 4-cylinder engines, and ups its safety game.
6.3
The handsome, capable 2019 Kia Sportage does many things well; gas mileage isn’t one of them.
5.5
The 2019 Subaru Crosstrek is as plucky as ever, but with more available safety gear this year.
