There are a lot of characteristics you can use to describe both the Jeep Compass and the Kia Seltos. They are both stylish, reliable, and comfortable to drive wherever you go around Worcester, Auburn, and Shrewsbury, Massachusetts.
We know that isn’t all you are looking to gain with your new SUV, so our team here at Harr Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (CJDR) is here to give you a closer look at the Jeep Compass vs. Kia Seltos. If you are someone who prioritizes off-road capability, premium interior features, and performance, see which model is best for your lifestyle.
Let's start with the things you may not be able to see but you will definitely feel as you drive – the performance of the Compass vs. Seltos. Test-drive either, and you’ll notice they handle smoothly, have agile acceleration, and can cruise comfortably at highway speeds.
When it comes to capabilities though, this is where the Compass really shines. It is a Jeep, of course, so it is no surprise that it offers available Trail Rated® performance. With available 4X4 capabilities and Falken® Wildpeak® all-terrain tires, the Jeep Compass is set to handle all sorts of terrain when you are looking to explore new places.
Thanks to the available Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System too, a simple change in driving mode allows the Jeep Compass to adjust engine performance for optimal traction and control. The Kia Seltos does offer available AWD, but it doesn’t have the same amount of driving modes or specific components to help it match the off-road readiness of the Compass.
When trying to decide between two SUVs, one thing to look at is what space and amenities you will find in them. While both offer versatility when it comes to fitting passengers and cargo, you’ll notice a few key differences between the Jeep Compass vs. Kia Seltos.
In the Jeep Compass, there is slightly more legroom in both rows than in the Seltos. This is a plus if you will be heading out on longer trips with friends or the kids. Plus, it also is ready to keep you warm and comfortable during those winter months thanks to its available heated seating and heated steering wheel. The Kia Seltos has heated seats available as well, but a heated steering wheel is not available.
The technology found in cars nowadays helps to add more convenience, comfort, and safety to our daily drives. Both of these models come with a range of features, from driver-assistive features for an added layer of protection to infotainment systems allowing you to play all your favorite songs and get directions to wherever you want to go.
To help maneuver your Compass in tighter areas, the available 360 Surround-View Camera System gives you a full view of your vehicle and surroundings. While the Kia Seltos has a rearview camera, it doesn’t offer a full view of your surroundings. The Jeep Compass also has the Parallel and Perpendicular Park and Unpark Assist system available, which can provide added guidance when parking along the street or in a crowded lot.
There is a lot to enjoy in both the Kia Seltos and the Jeep Compass. Those in the Worcester, Auburn, and Shrewsbury, MA, area though looking for an SUV that can go anywhere, maximizes passenger space, and ensures you enjoy the conveniences of modern tech will enjoy the drive that awaits in the Jeep Compass.
