Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Compass than in the Nissan Kicks. The Nissan Kicks offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Jeep Compass, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

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 Jeep Compass will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Nissan Kicks, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Jeep Compass is much wider than the Nissan Kicks, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Jeep Compass takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Nissan Kicks.

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

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Jeep Compass greatly out-muscles the Nissan Kicks.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Jeep Compass does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Nissan Kicks.

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