The Jeep Compass is Stylish and Versatile - See What Sets it Apart from the Kia Sportage

Shopping around for a new, compact SUV and confused about the wide array of options that are available in the Livingston area? It's no secret that there's a large variety of small SUV models available today. At Nielsen Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram, we can help you navigate the various options and help you get to know our outstanding collection a little better, so you can make the right choice for your specific needs.

The new vehicle inventory at our East Hanover dealership is jam-packed with great SUV options and something for everyone, including the new Jeep Compass. A unique model in the Jeep brand lineup, the new Compass fills a niche for Summit and West Orange drivers who love the SUV style, and who want one that's not too big but also not too small.

To help you understand everything that sets the Jeep Compass apart from the competition, here's a quick look at some of the ways in which it comes out ahead when compared side by side with the Kia Sportage. When you're ready to meet the Compass in person and take it for a test drive, we invite you to stop by and see us in person near Randolph.

Jeep Compass vs. Kia Sportage

While both of these models offer the easy-to-park size of a small SUV, with four doors and five seats, the Jeep Compass has a few extra touches that help set it apart. Read on to learn more and contact us if you have any questions.

  • Standard all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can be your best friend when the roads around Morristown get slippery or wet. With the Jeep Compass, you know that the added traction and peace of mind of all-wheel drive will always be there when you need it, because every new Compass now comes with it as standard equipment. With the Kia Sportage, all-wheel drive is available, but you have to look for it and request it specifically, as opposed to getting it standard.
  • Off-road prowess. The off-road and trail riding capabilities of the Jeep lineup have made it legendary and cemented the brand's reputation as a go-to for adventurous drivers. The new Jeep Compass is a great example of this, especially with its signature Jeep Compass Trailhawk trim option. All Compass models handle trails with ease, but this top-of-the-line trim makes it even easier with a handful of off-road performance features, such as underbody skid plates, a raised suspension, a special AWD system with low range and a rock crawling drive mode, and much more. The Sportage, on the other hand, may be fun to drive on paved roads, but it can't handle off-the-beaten-path trips and it doesn't have anything like the Trailhawk model in its lineup.
  • Technology. The Jeep Compass also has more of the modern-day amenities that our customers want as standard equipment than the Kia Sportage. While both SUVs include rosters of popular features for connectivity, entertainment, and more, the Jeep Compass has a few extras, starting at the base model. These include wireless connection for the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (the Sportage only has wired connection standard), a driver attention monitor, a rear seat reminder, and more.
