It is one of the affordable SUVs out there starting at a base price of $19,295 while the top-of-the-line Limited trim can go up to $24,295. Thus the Jeep Compass competes with equally capable vehicles like the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4.

The 2011 Jeep Compass receives few styling upgrades in the interior as well as the exterior of the vehicle. It still carries the two engine options that provide great overall performance while being efficient on the fuel economy. It provides great interior spacing for all the passengers while providing great comfort as well. It is one of the affordable SUVs out there starting at a base price of $19,295 while the top-of-the-line Limited trim can go up to $24,295. Thus the Jeep Compass competes with equally capable vehicles like the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4.

We would recommend opting for the Limited variant because it packs in more features that improve the overall experience of owning the 2011 Jeep Compass. Along with that, it is also equipped with a slightly better 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine that makes better power as compared to the base engine that is available on the base trim. Thus at a price of $24,295 the Limited trim offers the best value for the money spent.

Engine and Performance
7.5/10

The 2011 Jeep Compass is available in two engine options. The first one is the base 2-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that generates 158 HP along with 141 lb-feet of torque. The second is a slightly better and bigger 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine that generates around 172 HP along with 165-pound feet of torque. Both the engines are mated with a five-speed manual gearbox while there is an option to opt for a continuously variable transmission.

The power is delivered to the front wheel as standard and there is an option to opt for a four-wheel-drive system. The transmission is not quick enough and takes almost 9.8 seconds to reach from 0 to 60 mph. Similarly, the quarter-mile distance is covered in 17.5 seconds. The Jeep Compass has a top speed of 112 mph, which is slightly lower as compared to some of its competitors.

Model	Jeep Compass	Honda CR-V	Toyota RAV4
MSRP	$19,295	$21,895	$22,475
Engine	2-liter inline 4	2.4-liter inline 4	2.5-liter inline 4
Drivetrain	front-wheel-drive	front-wheel-drive	front-wheel-drive
Transmission	5-speed Manual	5-speed Automatic	4-speed Automatic
Power	158 hp @ 6400 rpm	180 hp @ 6800 rpm	179 hp @ 6000 rpm
Torque	141 lb.-ft. @ 5000 rpm	161 lb.-ft. @ 4400 rpm	172 lb.-ft. @ 4000 rpm
0-60 mph (sec)	9.8	7.9	8.8
Quarter-mile (sec)	17.5	16.4	NA
Top Speed (mph)	112	125	114

The Honda CR-V is the most powerful vehicle in this comparison with a power output of 180 HP while the Toyota RAV4 is just behind the Honda with a power output of 179 HP. The Honda CR-V is the quickest of them all with zero to 60 MPH covered in 7.9 seconds, while the Toyota RAV4 takes 8.8 seconds. The Honda CR-V also has the highest top speed of 125 mph while the Toyota tops out at 114 mph.

Fuel Economy
7.0/10

Both the engine options available with the 2011 Jeep Compass are great on fuel efficiency. The Jeep Compass provides a mileage of 22 MPG in the city which improves to 29 MPG on the highway. Thus we get a combined mileage of 24 MPG from the 2011 Jeep Compass. The vehicle also is equipped with 13.6 gallons of fuel tank capacity that provides a maximum range of 394 miles.

Model	Jeep Compass	Honda CR-V	Toyota RAV4
MPG (City)	22	21	21
MPG (Highway)	29	28	27
MPG (Combined)	24	24	24
Fuel Capacity (gal)	13.6 gal.	15.3 gal.	15.9 gal.

Just like the Jeep Compass, the 2011 Honda CR-V and the 2011 Toyota RAV4, both have the same combined fuel economy of 24 MPG. Along with that, the Toyota RAV4 has the biggest fuel tank capacity of 15.9 gallons, which gives the maximum range of 429 miles while the Honda CR-V has a fuel tank capacity of 15.3 gallons, which gives a maximum range of 428 miles.

Interior
8.0/10

The interior of the 2011 Jeep Compass is well-designed and provides a minimalistic look. Overall the interior is spacious and provides one of the best headroom for the front as well as the rear-seat passengers. Soft-touch materials are seen on most of the panels inside the interior, which does give it a premium feel.

The seats are comfortable and provide enough bolstering for long rides. Along with that, the Jeep Compass has a cargo capacity of 22.7 cubic feet behind the rear seats while with the rear seats folded the cargo capacity improves to 53.6 cubic feet. Even if this is a lot of space for accommodating your cargo, it still lacks when compared to its rivals.

Model	Jeep Compass	Honda CR-V	Toyota RAV4
Seating Capacity	5	5	5
Front Row (Head / Shoulder / Leg) (in)	40.7/54.6/40.6	40.9/56.9/41.3	40.8/57.1/41.8
Rear Row (Head / Shoulder / Leg) (in)	39.9/54/39.4	38.6/56/38.5	39.7/55.3/38.3
Cargo Capacity (cu-ft)	22.7 cu-ft	35.7 cu-ft	36.4 cu-ft
Maximum Cargo Capacity (cu-ft)	53.6 cu-ft	72.9 cu-ft	73 cu-ft

All the vehicles in this comparison can accommodate up to five people inside the cabin. The Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 provide enough room for people in the front seats, as well as accommodating up to three people at the rear seats. Both the vehicles in comparison have a very similar cargo capacity behind the rear seats as well as while the rear seats are folded. Here is a list of interior features available in the 2011 Jeep Compass:

Cruise control
Tilt steering wheel
Four-speaker stereo
Auto-dimming rearview mirror
Automatic climate control
Power driver seat
Leather upholstery

How is the 2011 Jeep Compass’s infotainment system?

The infotainment system in the 2011 Jeep Compass offers only a few standard features like the four-speaker stereo, an auxiliary audio jack, and a CD player. While the Limited trim gets a satellite radio and in-dash 6-CD changer. There is also an option to opt for the optional USB ports and Uconnect voice command system with Bluetooth connectivity. There is also an option to opt for the Media Center Package which adds in a hard-drive-based navigation system, USB audio jack, and digital music storage. Here is a list of all the infotainment features that are available in the 2011 Jeep Compass:

Exterior
7.0/10

The exterior of the 2011 Jeep Compass carries the iconic Jeep design philosophy with the front vertical slit grills surrounded by chrome linings. The Jeep takes a menacing stand with its bigger 18-inch alloy wheels on the top models. Along with that it also gets exterior chrome accents, roof rails, and fog lamps.

The Jeep Compass is the lightest in comparison with a curb weight of 3,082 pounds. It has a very small overall footprint as compared to its rivals with a length of 173 inches, a width of 69 inches, and a height of 65 inches. But it does sit quite high above the ground with a ground clearance of 8 inches. This gives it the capabilities of performing well on the off-roads.

Model	Jeep Compass	Honda CR-V	Toyota RAV4
Curb Weight (lbs)	3082 lbs.	3386 lbs.	3360 lbs.
Length (in)	173 in.	179 in.	182 in.
Width (in)	69 in.	72 in.	73 in.
Height (in)	65 in.	66 in.	66 in.
Ground Clearance (in)	8	7	8
Wheelbase (in)	104 in.	103 in.	105 in.

The Honda CR-V is the heaviest of them with a curb weight of 3,386 pounds while the Toyota RAV4 weighs 3,360 pounds. The Toyota RAV4 is the longest of them all with a length of 182 inches. It also sits high above the ground with 8 inches of ground clearance. The Honda CR-V has a slightly lower ground clearance of 7 inches but performs equally well on the off roads. Here is a list of all the exterior features that are available in the 2011 Jeep Compass:

18-inch alloy wheels
Exterior chrome accents
Roof rails
Foglamps
Heated sideview mirrors

Safety
7.5/10

The NHTSA has not yet tested the new Jeep Compass nor it has been tested completely by the IIHS. Thus we do not have any data to provide the safety ratings of the 2011 Jeep Compass. But Jeep has been producing one of the safest vehicles out there and we believe the 2011 Jeep Compass is one of those. Along with that, the Jeep Compass has equipped with few safety features that help improve the safety factor further. Here is a list of all the safety features that are included in the 2011 Jeep Compass:

Stability control
Traction control
Rollover sensor
Full-length side curtain airbags
Front side airbags (optional)

Final Verdict

The 2011 Jeep Compass provides a complete package with its two engine options that provide great performance overall. It is definitely very slow on acceleration, but it does provide great fuel economy in this segment. The compass provides best-in-class spacing for the passengers inside the cabin, while it does lack a bit in terms of cargo capacity when compared to its rivals. Thus if you are looking for a great SUV with amazing fuel economy while still being affordable, the 2011 Jeep Compass should definitely be on your list.
