Comparison Review

Comfort
The Acura ZDX offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Jeep Compass, with comparable head- and legroom. The Jeep Compass will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Acura ZDX.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Acura ZDX will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Jeep Compass, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Acura ZDX is much wider than the Jeep Compass, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Acura ZDX, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Jeep Compass.

Handling
The Acura ZDX has a larger turning radius than the Jeep Compass, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Acura ZDX is clearly the choice over the Jeep Compass for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Acura ZDX greatly out-muscles the Jeep Compass.

Powertrain
The Acura ZDX has much lower torque than the Jeep Compass, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Acura ZDX and the Jeep Compass. The Acura ZDX has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Jeep Compass.
