The 2021 Jeep Cherokee or the 2021 Jeep Compass? Which to Choose, Based on Your Needs?

Posted on August 5, 2021

So, you’re in the market for a Jeep SUV and don’t quite know which one to choose? We feel you! Because every model from this brand is brimming with features that will give you complete satisfaction, choosing from any can be a daunting task. 

.

Let’s take a look at two of the most popular models of the group in order to help you make the right choice: the Compass and the Cherokee. The first belongs to the subcompact category, while the second one falls into the compact family category. 

.

Does size really matter when it comes to a Cherokee? Not necessarily. That’s why it’s important to carefully weigh the pros and cons, as some models have features that appeal to some while others do not, and vice versa. This means that one may be better suited to your needs, depending on what you’re looking for. 

.

To experience these vehicles in the flesh, your Trois Diamants Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM dealership, located in Mascouche near Highway 640 and Route 337, just a few short minutes from Terrebonne and Laval, recommends that you take a look at both models and choose one that best suits your needs.

The 2021 Jeep Compass

For those with a more limited budget, the Jeep Compass is worth a look due to its low price. The Sport trim level version comes in at around $26,000. At the high-end, the bill is just under $35,000 for a Trailhawk Elite version. Between the two, there are six other variants, which leaves you with a choice that is nothing short of extraordinary. 

.

The vast majority of these models are similar to other SUVs on the market in that they are designed for city driving, weekend trips to the country, etc. There are, however, two Trailhawk models to choose from. They feature Jeep’s Active Drive Low 4 × 4 system with traction control, as well as an upgraded version of the Selec-Terrain system. This version also features an off-road suspension. No other vehicle in this class boasts this kind of off-road artillery. 

.

The Compass is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. Its trunk provides a generous 770 litres and with the second-row seats folded down, it becomes an impressive 1,693 litres of space. 

.

Under the hood is the amazing 2.4-litre, 4-cylinder engine that delivers a healthy 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. Its towing capacity is rated at 2,000 pounds.

The 2021 Jeep Cherokee

The Jeep Cherokee follows a similar formula, but as it is a higher-end model, the price range is higher, as is the level of comfort and built-in equipment. The Compass is great, but the Cherokee is the superior and the ultimate. The prices range from about $31,000 to $40,000, all across eight variants. 

.

Off-roading can be taken to another level with this model too, once again with an edition called Trailhawk. This time around, tweaks come in the form of the Jeep Active Drive Low 4 × 4 system, as well as anti-skid plates for the transmission, fuel tank, and front suspension. This is serious stuff. 

.

As far as interior space is concerned, it’s a bit more generous for the passengers, but in the back, it’s very much the same. The trunk offers a volume of 730 litres, 1548 litres with the rear seats lowered. 

.

Finally, depending on the version, three engines is what you’ll get with this range. The 2.4-litre 4-cylinder, then a 3.2-litre V6, and a 2-litre turbo 4-cylinder. Their respective power ratings are 180, 270 and 271 horsepower. Above all, the towing capacities come in at 2000, 4000 and 4500 pounds. 

.

Clearly, there are advantages to these two vehicles. Depending on your needs, interior space, off-road capabilities and towing capacity will ultimately guide your purchase. 

.

The most important thing to know is that there is no wrong choice here; it’s all about what you need. Let you Trois Diamants dealers help you make the right choice and drive away with your next 2021 Jeep.
