INTERIOR
A comfortable driving experience is the goal for every driver, and the dimensions can make all the difference. Fortunately, both the Jeep Compass and the Toyota RAV4 offer plenty of wiggle room for you and your party of five to explore. So, no matter if you’re carpooling with your friends to a night out on the town, or taking your kid and a few of their teammates to their Saturday soccer game, everyone will have plenty of space to get comfortable.
Interior Space
Here, we’ll compare the inside measurements of the Compass and RAV4 and see who comes out on top. We’ll start out with the measurements of the Compass…
- Legroom (front/rear): 41.8 inches / 38.3 inches
- Headroom (front/rear): 39.2 inches / 38.5 inches
- Hip room (front/rear): 54.1 inches / 49.2 inches
- Shoulder room (front/rear): 56.7 inches / 55.1 inches
Now let’s look at how RAV4 stacks up...
- Legroom (front/rear): 41 inches / 37.8 inches
- Headroom (front/rear): 37.7 inches / 39.5 inches
- Hip room (front/rear): 54.3 inches / 47.7 inches
- Shoulder room (front/rear): 57.8 inches / 56.4 inches
As you can see, both vehicles provide spacious accommodations. There are some areas where each vehicle has strengths; however, the Compass does allow for more space in the key areas of legroom and headroom.
SAFETY
Safety can often be the most critical aspect for a prospective driver when they begin their vehicle-buying journey. So, if you're looking for a reliable commuter, both the Jeep Compass and the Toyota RAV4 won’t disappoint. These SUVs equip driver-assistance features to make sure anyone behind the wheel feels confident in their travels—your newly-licensed teenager included.
Safety Features
The Compass and RAV4 offer different safety features, all designed with your safety in mind.
Depending on the terrain, the Compass offers a great safety feature under its electronic stability category. It provides for stability control with additional anti-roll feature. This will help in keeping your Compass from escaping your control, and if it senses that a roll is possible, then it will take active measures to mitigate the possibility.
Extra Assistance
The Compass also offers Hill Start Assist, which is designed to help minimize backward rolling on steep ascents. While a neat feature for off-roaders, it does come with a set of limiting factors like speed, grade, and surface conditions.
The RAV4 does attempts to keep up by offering a similar hill start system.
Both vehicles have features that focus on keeping all wheels on the ground and your vehicle in your control. While the RAV4 presents a good feature, the Compass edges it out due to its more situationally protective measures.
TECHNOLOGY
When you’re out and about, do you desire a vehicle that can make your drive more convenient? Do you want an SUV that keeps you seamlessly connected to your most-listened-to music, to your favorite podcast, or to the current chapter in your audiobook?
The Jeep Compass and the Toyota RAV4 equip helpful modern technologies to make sure you’re always in tune with your drive and with your entertainment.
Technology & Infotainment
It’s no secret that the Compass and the RAV4 are similar in terms of infotainment. In fact, both models offer wireless phone connectivity! So, when it comes time to turn on some music or give your partner a call on the way home from work, you’ll be able to do so in either model—all without the hassle of a cord too.
Part of the RAV4 infotainment package is a neat 7-inch touchscreen that allows you to directly interface with apps and icons during your drive. As we mentioned above, there is some overlap in the wireless phone connectivity mode, along with access to similar apps.
However, the Compass pulls ahead by offering a 10.1-inch LCD monitor. This is more than an inch bigger than the maximum size available on the RAV4, making it easier than ever to change the current song or glance down for directions.
