Jeep Compass vs Toyota RAV4: Safety Awards

Safety means a lot of different things in modern models. They have to handle collisions with grace and security, have to be capable of identifying potential collisions in advance to help avoid them, and so much more. There are institutions such as the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) which conduct experiments to see whether models like the Jeep Compass and the Toyota RAV4 grade at appropriate safety levels.

Both crossovers passed the IIHS examination, yet the Compass went above and beyond. The Jeep Compass received the IIHS 2022 TOP SAFETY PICK, showcasing just how protective this crossover is in all driving scenarios.


Jeep Compass vs Toyota RAV4: Interior Proportions

A crossover is meant to be a versatile vehicle capable of supporting you, your family or friends, and some personal belongings. That means the interior proportions of the Toyota RAV4 and the Jeep Compass are important. After an inspection, the Jeep comes out with a more favorable interior.

If you’re a tall driver or if you’ll be transporting tall passengers, the Compass benefits from 41.8 inches of front legroom and 38.3 inches of rear legroom. On the flip side, the RAV4 touts just 41 inches in the front row and 37.8 inches in the rear row. Front headroom is another area with a notable discrepancy, as the Jeep offers 39.2 inches while the Toyota offers just 37.7 inches.

Finally, while the two models offer similar cargo support, the Jeep does come out slightly ahead thanks to 59.8 cubic feet of room compared to the Toyota’s 59 cubic feet.
