Jeep Compass vs Toyota RAV4 Comparison Review

Compare the new Jeep Compass to the Toyota RAV4

If you're in the market for a new SUV near Denville and Roxbury Township these days, then Dover Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram should be your first and only stop. Our Rockaway Township dealership has been well-known for its SUV selection, particularly when it comes to new Jeep SUVs like the Jeep Compass. This small yet rugged crossover SUV is an incredibly compelling value proposition for New Jersey shoppers. However, it's hard to know where a new SUV is the right fit for you and your needs without comparing it to the competition. Luckily, we've already done that for you with our competitive comparison between the new Jeep Compass and its rival, the Toyota RAV4.

Performance

Now, there are many different ways that the new Jeep Compass outclasses the Toyota Rav4, but on the performance front, these two crossover SUVs are on roughly even footing. Both offer around 200 standard horsepower, which should prove plenty for day-to-day driving in the greater Morristown area. Plus, with a comfortable ride quality and confident road manners, we're confident drivers throughout the Garden State will be satisfied with the new Jeep Compass in their garages.

Capability

While their performance credentials are similar, the Jeep Compass easily outmatches the new Toyota RAV4. Thanks to its array of outstanding Jeep Brand 4x4 systems, a host of Trail Rated gear, and ample ground clearance, the new Jeep Compass can confidently tackle muddy trails, unpaved access roads, and even light off-roading when you need it to, making it the perfect vehicle for New Jersey drivers who lead more active lifestyles. Now, the new Toyota RAV4 may offer more overall ground clearance, but it's all-wheel drive is no comparison to the 4x4 systems available for the Jeep Compass. In fact, to get it outfitted with any sort of reliable off-road features, you'll have to spring for its pricey Adventure Grade trim.

Interior

Both the new Jeep Compass and Toyota RAV4 can accommodate up to five passengers, so they're great for those times when you want to take a weekend adventure with friends. However, when it comes to interior quality and craftsmanship, the new Jeep Compass is leagues ahead of its Toyota rival. From the textured cloth trim that adorns its dash to the supportive seating with available leather upholstery, the interior of the Jeep Compass is a masterclass in small crossover craftsmanship.

Technology

One of our favorite features in the new Jeep Compass is its new UConnect® 5 infotainment system. Outfitted with a 10.1-inch touchscreen, support for Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa, and even an available connected Alpine® premium sound system, the new UConnect® 5 interface is something you'll be glad to have on your daily drives throughout Rockaway Township. Now, the new Toyota RAV4 has its own infotainment system, but it offers a much smaller standard infotainment screen, making it more challenging to use while you're driving in heavy traffic.
