2021 Jeep Compass vs 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

Jeep Compass vs Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross: Interior

Extra amenities, like available ventilated front seats, make the ride you take in the Jeep comfortable and help alleviate getting stuck to the seat when it’s hot. The Mitsubishi does not offer them, so bring a towel or wear pants.

Inside the vehicles, you’ll find a difference in space. The Compass provides a comfy passenger volume of 100 cubic feet, while the Eclipse Cross stops at 96.7 cubic feet.

Let’s examine more detailed dimensions:

Along with those measurements, some second-row dimensions differ, too. Let’s see:

That is quite a difference between the rear legroom dimensions! You can stretch out in the Jeep, but you’ll be cramped a bit in the Mitsubishi.

Your Compass trunk offers more cargo space with 27.2 cubic feet with all seats upright. Then, if you put the rear seats down, you’ll be granted a maximum of 59.8 cubic feet. Plus, the available power liftgate makes it easy to get the trunk open for storage.

Unfortunately, you won’t find as much room in the Eclipse Cross with 23.4 cubic feet of cargo space to start and a maximum of 50.1 cubic feet. No available power liftgate means you’ll have to balance grocery bags and look for your keys at the same time.

Jeep Compass vs Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross: Safety

Checking your blind spot for cars and other obstacles can be challenging, but modern technology changes the game. The Jeep Compass offers the available Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection system. In the Mitsubishi, you have a similar available system—Blind Spot Warning with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

Need an extra eye when you’re trying to park? Use the available ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System in the Compass that sends out warnings if you’re veering too close to other cars or objects. You won’t find a similar system in the Eclipse Cross.

Jeep Compass vs Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross: Performance

Different capabilities make this area of both vehicles one to consider. With the Jeep, you’re given a standard 2.4L Tigershark® MultiAir® 2 4-cylinder engine that produces 177 horsepower. It achieves an EPA-estimated 31 highway MPG for rewarding gas mileage.

If you go with the Mitsubishi, it uses a standard 1.5L MIVEC turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 152 horsepower. This SUV achieves an EPA-estimated 29 highway MPG at its best.

Either front-wheel drive or an available 4×4 drivetrain can accompany the Jeep engine, while the Mitsubishi uses either front-wheel drive or optional All-Wheel Control. The Jeep upgrades the 4-wheel drive system with an available Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System with up to five driving modes, including Auto, Snow, Sand, and Mud.

For your towing purposes, think about how much you may want to pull for a weekend away boating or when transporting materials in a trailer. The Jeep tows a maximum of 2,000 pounds, while the Mitsubishi tows up to 1,500 pounds when properly equipped.
