Jeep Compass vs Nissan Rouge

Whether the roads have frozen overnight, snow is starting to stick to the roadways, or you are driving through a summer thunderstorm, you'll need a vehicle ready to handle the elements. Living in an area that experiences all four seasons means you'll want a vehicle that can safely get you where you need to go regardless of the weather.

The Nissan Rogue does a good job at providing enhanced stability, but with the Compass, you can enjoy some added features to handle whatever the weather throws your way. Along with providing you with the control you need to traverse slick roads, it also offers an available windshield wiper de-icer.

This feature will heat the windshield quickly so you can melt any ice and brush it away to keep visibility maximized as you drive. The 2024 Compass also has optional rain-sensing windshield wipers. These will activate the moment the first drop of rain hits the windshield.

These two SUVs come ready to provide similar performance for your daily travels. They each have a turbocharged engine and create a similar amount of horsepower and torque. Where things differ is in the added capabilities they offer.

With each, you can tow small equipment, but it is the Jeep Compass that can pull heavier gear. With it, you can tow up to 2,000 pounds when properly equipped. The 2024 Rogue has a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 pounds.

If you are also looking to turn more of the world into your playground, the Jeep Compass is ready to help you explore. It comes standard with 4x4 capabilities and its Trailhawk trim level is ready to cross through water, drive along sand, and trek through muddy trails. The Rogue doesn't offer a configuration designed for off-roading.

While driving either of these SUVs, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your vehicle is ready to assist you in safely reaching your destination. Both have advanced systems to help you stay alert and out of harm’s way while driving.

As an example, they each have a detection system that can alert you to cars and pedestrians in your path ahead. The Jeep Compass can also detect cyclists as well, so you can safely share the roadways! It offers available Active Driving Assist that can automatically keep the Compass at a consistent speed and adjust its position within the lane you are driving in.
