In the SUV market, compact models are some of the most popular. Small SUVs have the size and maneuverability of a car while offering more cargo and cabin space. In this class, models like the Jeep Compass and Ford Expedition are some of the best you can buy, and we want to compare these two crossovers to see which is the better bang for your buck.
Whether you're cruising the streets or the trial, a strong engine will take you where you want to go. In the case of the Jeep Compass, each trim utilizes a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that can produce 180 horsepower and 172 pounds of torque. As for the Escape, the base model utilizes a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that can produce 181 horsepower and 190 pounds of torque.
Regardless of the model you buy, you'll have plenty of power for venturing off-road or a casual commute.
Inside and out, the Jeep Compass and Ford Escape offer many unique features that have helped these models stand out among their competitors. For instance, the Compass has a sleek design and can easily travel anywhere, thanks to its AWD. And inside, drivers will find new and upgraded features like an intuitive infotainment screen with the latest Uconnect 5 software.
The Escape sports a less attractive design, but it makes up for it with plenty of great features. Several of these features include an optional hybrid powertrain and interior features like an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot.
The Jeep Compass and Ford Escape work to keep both drives and passengers as safe as possible. This is achieved through the slew of advanced driver-aids they offer.
As you can see, Escape, and Compass offer similar driving experiences. But if we had to choose, we'd buy the new Jeep Compass as it offers better off-road features and more interesting tech. To learn more about the Jeep Compass and what it can offer, stop by our dealership in Adams, NY, today.
