If you are searching for a small SUV that comes with plenty of high-tech features, then you need to turn your attention to the new 2021 Jeep Compass Trailhawk Elite. This ride isn’t only made for off-roading. It is loaded with advanced systems as well. Compared against the 2021 GMC Terrain SLT, you can immediately see the numerous differences inside the cabin.
Â
First, the Trailhawk Elite comes with a larger 8.4-inch touchscreen, while the Terrain SLT uses an 8-inch. Both models include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth connectivity elements, but the Jeep adds navigation. If you want GPS on the GMC, you will have to add the Infotainment Package II.
Â
Another advantage that the Compass has is onboard Wi-Fi. The 4G LTE network allows you to use apps and access your online playlists without touching your smartphone data plan.

In the world of compact SUVs, a few extra horsepower can make all the difference in the total output. Comparing the base engines of the 2021 Jeep Compass and the 2021 GMC Terrain, you can easily see how one is far superior to the other.
Â
The Compass houses a peppy 2.4-litre 4-cylinder unit that pushes out 180 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque. Equipped with the standard 6-speed automatic transmission and FWD, you may opt for the 9-speed/AWD combination if you prefer more control. As for towing, it can manage a load weighing up to 907 kgs (2,000 lbs).
Â
On the other hand, the Terrain is fitted with a much smaller 1.5-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder motor. Producing 170 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque, it is paired with a 9-speed and FWD. If you want to bring an attachment, you will be severely limited with this ride. It can only pull 680 kgs (1,500 lbs).

Since the 2021 Jeep Compass offers the residents of BC a best-in-class towing capacity, it’s only fair to drive this point home with head-to-head comparisons. Going up against the 2021 Kia Sportage, you will see that more horsepower doesn’t necessarily mean the vehicle is stronger.
Â
Rumbling under the hood of the Compass is a 2.4-litre 4-cylinder motor. You can choose between the standard FWD/6-speed or the AWD/9-speed, and the total output is around 180 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque. Keeping these numbers in mind, this compact SUV can haul up to 907 kgs (2,000 lbs) with ease.
Â
Meanwhile, the Sportage uses a similar 2.4-litre engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and your choice of FWD or AWD. Pushing out 181 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque, the performance is almost the same. However, this petite model can only take on 749 kgs (1,653 lbs) of weight.

While most compact SUVs are not well-known for their towing capabilities, the new 2021 Jeep Compass shakes things up quite a bit. Compared to the 2021 Honda CR-V, you can quickly see just how much better this vehicle is for pulling.
Â
Every Compass is powered by a 2.4-litre 4-cylinder engine that delivers 180 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque. If you stick with the standard FWD system, it will come with a 6-speed automatic transmission. However, if you opt for the available AWD, it will use a 9-speed.
Â
On the other hand, the 2021 Honda CR-V is fitted with an Inline-4 motor that is partnered with FWD and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Pushing out 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque, you might think that it is stronger than the Compass.
Â
Surprisingly, the Compass can handle up to 907 kg (2,000 lbs) of weight. Meanwhile, the CR-V can only manage 680 kg (1,500 lbs). So, if you want to haul an attachment, go with the Jeep!
