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).
