Performance
The standard powertrain on the 2025 Jeep Compass is a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that delivers 200 horsepower. All-wheel drive is standard on all models, along with an 8-speed automatic transmission setup. If you're big on recreational activity, we highly suggest the Trailhawk trim level with hill descent control, which makes climbing and descending terrain a breeze. The Trailhawk also comes standard with Jeep's Selec-Terrain response system that allows you to dial in the right settings before hitting the trails.
The 2025 Ford Escape has two available powertrains. The standard is a 1.5-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder engine that produces 181 horsepower. Buyers desiring quicker acceleration can opt for a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces a stout 256 horsepower. While this is higher than what the Compass produces, the Escape fails to appeal to the swath of buyers who actually want to take their SUV off-road. Jeep is a brand that's renowned for the off-road prowess of its models, which is why the Compass can be equipped with hardcore features sure to thrill off-road purists like a low-range gearbox, hill-descent control, and more. The Escape is just a car on stilts.
Interior
The 2025 Jeep Compass's practical nature continues to impress in the cabin area. Whether you plan on using the Compass for work, pleasure, or anything in between, all possibilities are viable in this capable ride. Inside, you'll find an 8.4-inch center stack screen, or a massive 10.1-inch touchscreen can be added to the Latitude trim and comes standard on Trailhawk and Limited trims. Wireless smartphone connectivity with a wireless charging pad is the perfect pair for the get-in-and-go type of driver. If convenience were a tangible object, it would look like the 2025 Jeep Compass.
You'll find what you would expect from a Ford SUV in the Escape. Heated seats, leather trim, a moonroof, and the like. Again, nothing that you wouldn't find in your average Ford vehicle. No particular theme, and no connection to a certain demographic. Where is the commitment to the sport utility aspect, or the convenience factor for active individuals? Not here.
Bottom Line
What does the Jeep Compass do differently from the Ford Escape? Jeep shaped the Compass to be the perfect companion for every active lifestyle in terms of convenience and functionality. From the low-range gearbox to the hill descent control, all of these thoughtful choices were made with you in mind. The Escape proves to be just another SUV in Ford's lineup with no clear angle.
