2020 Jeep Compass vs. Its Competition

2020 Jeep Compass
Brian León Brian León Contributing Writer

The Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage cousins are sized smaller than compact crossovers like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V and offer great value and quality for the price.

The Subaru Crosstrek is closest to Jeep in terms of off-road character and offers standard all-wheel drive.

The Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain are larger, but offer practicality and style from American brands, just like the Jeep.
