When you’re trying to decide which vehicle is right for you, a helping hand is appreciated. At Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we know that it can be difficult to decide, especially when browsing Jeep models. We’ve put together this 2022 Jeep Compass vs. 2022 Jeep Cherokee comparison to help our customers in and around Aiken and Graniteville, SC, pick the Jeep model that’s right for them.
The Compass comes equipped with a 2.4L Tigershark® MultiAir® 2 engine that’s paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Meanwhile, the Cherokee comes with a 2.4L Tigershark® MultiAir® 2 I-4 engine that’s equipped with Engine Stop/Start (ESS) technology. The power outputs achieved by the Compass are 177 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque. The Cherokee, however, generates 180 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque.
Although they come equipped with a similar engine build, the Cherokee is a few notches stronger than the Compass. The power differential between them isn’t significant enough to really set them apart, but the added ESS technology on the Cherokee does just that. With having ESS tech, the Cherokee is in a better position to enjoy a strong fuel economy as it helps to cut down on wasted fuel at red lights, stop signs, or other moments with a prolonged stop.
For this section, we’ll first look at the interior measurements of the Compass. These numbers are as follows:
To compare, here are the measurements of the Cherokee:
What is interesting when comparing these measurements is that there are only about one or two inches of difference between some of them. What this means for a driver looking to pick up a new Jeep is that either vehicle is going to be able to hold you and your crew comfortably for the entirety of the adventure. You’ll be able to stretch your legs or feel a sense of free movement with the generous amount of shoulder room in both the Compass and the Cherokee.
Keeping wired and well connected is a natural desire for the modern driver, so how do these vehicles deliver?
The Compass comes with the Uconnect® 5 infotainment system, while the Cherokee brings Uconnect® 4 to the table. While certain features may be missing from one generation to another, the important consideration is that you’ll be able to use available navigation features, have your Uconnect® system’s home screen become that of your connected cellphone’s screen, and much more.
Speaking of cellphone connectivity, the Compass and Cherokee both come with incredibly important Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capabilities. Since you may rely on your smartphone more than the infotainment options, it is convenient to have this level of connectivity available right out of the gate.
