2018 Jeep Compass vs 2018 Hyundai Tucson near Long Island, NY

If you are in the market for a new crossover SUV, then you have probably been comparing the Jeep Compass and the Hyundai Tucson. The Compass can be a blast to drive, especially with its off-roading capability! It also offers 27 cubic feet of rear luggage space, which can expand to 60 cubic feet when the seats are folded down. The Tucson on the other side of this comparison offers little for fun, but comes with a few extra luxury items if you're willing to hand out some extra cash.

The 2018 Jeep Compass comes standard with an excellent 2.4-liter inline-4 engine with 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. This engine has a maximum fuel economy of 23/32 miles per gallon. You can also choose between a six-speed manual, a six-speed automatic, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The Compass is even capable of towing up to 3,600 pounds!

A few of the most popular and luxurious items have been made available to most trim levels through a package option.

2018 Hyundai Tucson Features & Design

The Tucson comes with five trim level options. The first is pretty heavily packed with basic features, but the following trims can leave you wanting. No packages are available for add on for the lower trims, so customization is non-existent. Only on the top trim level, the Limited, is it possible to add a package for extra features. Many of these features that are hidden away within this package would be items like heated and ventilated seating, driving aids, and xenon headlights.

Conclusions

With off-roading capability, a higher fuel efficiency, a smoother driving experience, and a much more inclusive number of trim levels, the Compass has beaten out the Tucson at almost every level.
