This is the new Nissan Qashqai Vs Jeep Compass comparison for 2023. This week we compare the Qashqai, one of the newest but not quite small anymore SUV against the Jeep Compass, a model that has been updated a few times since release in 2016 although not as many as the ASX. So which is better the Compass of Qashqai?
Nissan Qashqai Vs Jeep Compass exterior comparison: These are contrasting designs. The Qashqai is a modern yet anonymous design that is easily lost in the sea of look a likes. It’s not a bad design just not unique. In comparison the Jeep Compass is designed to look like a smaller version of the Grand Cherokee so it is not a new design just a smaller version. The design is conservative and aged but not in a bad way. The design speaks volumes about the buyers of the Jeep brand. It also stands out in the sea of newly designed SUVs.
Nissan Qashqai Vs Jeep Compass interior comparison: The new Qashqai interior is a nice place to be in looks and feels about right for the price. It is a generic design so shouldn’t offend anyone. There is plenty of space in the Qashqai although nothing fancy about the design. The Compass interior was given a face life a few year ago and it was a more up market place to be in these days. Although the design is not unique it is a nice place to be in and better than the Qashqai.
Nissan Qashqai Vs Jeep Compass engine and technology comparison: There is nothing standout in the Qashqai’s small capacity turbo engine but there enough power there to keep it going at an acceptable pace despite the weight increase. In comparison the Jeep Compass has many engine options all 4 cylinders and even a diesel. They are all reasonably powerful and shared with Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Chrysler, Nissan, Mitsubishi and so forth aka Renault motors group of brands. Nonetheless the standout feature is the Trail hawk model grade version which has genuine 4WD drivetrain and suspension but at a price not that much more than the Qashqai.
The conclusion and winner of the Nissan Qashqai Vs Jeep Compass comparison is the Compass. The Qashqai is expensive for the single engine of offer. The Compass has the option of a Diesel a real 4WD system option, a nicer interior ambience than the Nissan. That is why the Compass is the better buy.
