2025 Jeep Compass vs. the Competition

Featuring an uncommon blend of off-road capabilities, rugged exterior styling, and premium standard equipment – you won’t find too many other compact SUVs with the same performance credentials as the Jeep Compass. Few competitors can measure up to its innovative mix of value and versatility. However, you still might need some additional proof that the Compass is the best choice in its segment before making your final purchasing decision. Our team at Sarchione CDJR of Dalton has assembled this competitive comparison in which the Jeep Compass faces off against two of its top rivals – the Chevrolet Trailblazer and the Kia Seltos. Only one can be crowned a champion, so let’s find out which one takes home the victory!

Right out of the gate, the Jeep Compass begins this matchup against the Chevrolet Trailblazer with a sizable price advantage. Its impressive value only continues to grow the further we go down the list of advantages for the Compass. When it comes to power, the Trailblazer is no match for the Compass thanks to its superior horsepower, torque, and towing capacity ratings. Even more impressive, the Compass is also able to deliver better fuel economy on the highway. More power and more efficiency make the Jeep Compass the clear choice in this category. 

In our second matchup, let’s take a closer look at how the Jeep Compass measures up to the Kia Seltos. Although the price gap is much closer in this instance, the Compass remains the better value as we get things started. This time, the performance advantage for Jeep is staggering with well over 50 more horsepower and nearly 100 lb-ft of extra torque compared to what you’ll get with the Seltos. A more responsive and durable 8-speed automatic transmission also provides greater responsiveness and better highway fuel economy than the Seltos. Laughably, the Kia Seltos is not rated for towing while you’ll have the ability to tow up to 2,000 pounds with your Jeep Compass.
