If performance is a priority, it makes sense to turn to a name that’s become synonymous with power and agility. Jeep has built a sturdy reputation on their unmatched off-roading prowess, and their modern models pair that athleticism with smooth city and highway handling. The 2017 Cherokee and Compass both present their own combinations of rugged strength and contemporary convenience, so let’s take a closer look to see which one is right for you.
Dynamic Performance
With the introduction of the Compass, Jeep appealed to an entirely new market of drivers who tend to stay on the pavement. While the maker has dedicated decades of research and development to dominating the wilderness, the Compass proved that they can also provide a cushioned city and highway driving experience as well. Naturally, Jeep also offers well-tuned suspension and four-wheel drive options to let the Compass romp off-road with the rest of their lineup. The Cherokee comes with even more off-roading focus, and every 2017 Cherokee with four-wheel drive features the Selec-Terrain program, which lets you adapt your traction to rocks, mud, and other conditions. If you need to tow a boat or trailer, the Cherokee also offers a higher towing capacity. When fully equipped for the task, the 2017 Cherokee can pull up to 4,500 pounds.
Style
While their size is the most obvious visual difference between the two SUVs, the compact Cherokee and subcompact Compass also sport some notable similarities. Both SUVs feature their own stylized take on the traditional Jeep grille, as well as an aggressive stance and sporty character lines. On the inside, they each sport handsome yet durable interiors with high-quality materials.
