When adventure calls, answer it from the driver's seat of a capable SUV. Both the 2022 Jeep Compass and the Chevy Equinox provide New City, Nanuet, and Pearl River, NY, drivers with a comfortable and spacious ride, but which one is the total package?
Find out below by reading this Jeep Compass vs. Chevy Equinox comparison prepared by the team at Rockland Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR).
Although the Jeep Compass and the Chevy Equinox are in the same vehicle class, there are many differences in their dimensions. For instance, the Chevy Equinox is longer at 183.1 inches, while the Jeep Compass measures 173.4 inches in length.
Although this size difference does give the Equinox a few extra feet of cargo room, it can also make it more difficult to maneuver around tight corners and through packed parking garages.
Besides having enough room, you'll also want a comfortable interior whether you're riding the highs and lows of off-road trails or traveling on a flat highway.
In either vehicle, you can have available conveniences like:
However, you'll only find an available Premium Alpine® Speaker System with nine speakers inside the Compass.
It's tough to beat legendary capability like the kind found under the hood of a Jeep. While both vehicles are equipped with engines of similar levels of strength, only the Jeep Compass is built to handle a variety of off-roading challenges.
Although the Chevy Equinox can be equipped with all-wheel drive (AWD), the available 4x4 Jeep® Active Drive on the Jeep Compass makes scaling rocky ground a breeze thanks to a 20:1 crawl ratio and low-range capability.
Moreover, the Compass can be equipped with an available Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System which adjusts transmission ratios, engine performance, and torque distribution for maximum traction. The Equinox does not have a comparable feature.
Vehicle technology needs to be intuitive and easy to use; however, it's a big plus when it's also nice to look at and fun to play with. You'll find an available 10.1-inch touchscreen display within the Jeep Compass with a sleek display and seamless connectivity to your smartphone.
The largest screen you can get on the Chevy Equinox is an 8-inch display.
Both SUVs prioritize safety. On the Compass, you'll find these features as standard:
The Chevy has comparable standard features like:
One feature the Compass offers that the Equinox does not, though, is the Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist. This feature can identify parking spots and park the Compass with your supervision.Â
With its superior performance, advanced technology, and accommodating interior comforts, we think the 2022 Jeep Compass is the clear winner.
