If you're looking for a Jeep Compass for sale, swing by Nucar CDJR of Tilton, where you can view and even test-drive this compact SUV. 
 

The following is a comparison between the Compass and the Rogue. Read on to see which model best fits your needs and lifestyle. 
 

Off-Road Capability

Both the Jeep Compass and the Nissan Rogue are designed to conquer all types of terrain. The Jeep has a low range and a 20:1 crawl ratio, making it tackle mud, sand, and snow. It also features Jeep's very own Active Dry Low 4×4 system. 
 

The patented Selec-Terrain Traction Management System provides drivers with more vehicle control in any situation. Also for sale is a Trailhawk trim for those who want an even more capable SUV. It received a Trail Rated badge for passing rigorous off-roading tests.
 

The Rogue is not as capable as the Compass as an all-terrain vehicle. Its Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system doesn't offer the stability required by adventurers to confidently tackle extreme conditions. It also provides limited modes for off-road driving. 
 

Performance and Specs

Don't think that the Jeep Compass is only good in off-road conditions. It's also a proven city vehicle with a 2.4L 177-horsepower Tigershark engine under its hood. It has a decent EPA rating of 31 mpg for highway driving, making this an ideal daily SUV. The Rogue is just as fuel-efficient, but it's not a workhorse like the Compass. A properly equipped Compass for sale can tow up to 2,000 pounds of weight. In comparison, Rogue's towing capacity is maxed at 1,350 pounds. 
 

The Compass and Rogue have different transmission types. The Nissan SUV uses an Xtronic CVT, while the Compass has a 6-speed automatic transmission. This means that the Compass provides a sportier riding experience.
 

Exterior Design

The Jeep Compass and Nissan Rogue sport a sleek exterior design. Both are sporty-looking and give the sense of perpetual forward motion. The Compass comes with a Delete Roof Rack, while the Rogue has optional roof rails. The Compass also features exterior mirrors with heating, making it perfect for driving during winter. This feature is not a standard in the Rogue but is available in higher trims for sale. 
 

Interior Design

The Jeep Compass and the Nissan Rogue are classified as compact SUVs. This means that they strike a balance between being spacious and handy. Both can comfortably seat five passengers with extra space for cargo. An advantage of the Compass is that it provides dual-zone control for customizable cabin comfort.
