When searching the market for a comprehensive compact crossover that offers a high performance, you should set your sights on the 2022 Jeep Compass. Standing up against the 2022 Hyundai Kona, it offers more standard power for superior capabilities. Plus, you can get one right now at O’Connor Chrysler in Chilliwack, BC.
Â
The base engine for the Hyundai Kona is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder. Combined with FWD and a continuously variable transmission (CVT), it generates only 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque. While it is not recommended to tow anything with this powertrain, you really shouldn’t exceed 453 kg (1,000 lbs) of weight with an attachment.
Â
On the other hand, the Jeep Compass uses a 2.4-litre Tigershark MutliAir Inline-4 motor that churns out 180 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque. While the Sport trim level comes with a 4x2 system, the Trailhawk is equipped with a rock-eating 4x4 drivetrain and Selec-Terrain Traction Management. This adds modes such as Sand/Mud, Auto, Snow, and Rock to improve the ride experience depending on the path you are on. You can also haul up to 907 kg (2,000 lbs) effortlessly.
