2025 Escape vs 2025 Compass at Thornhill Ford

2025 Ford Escape vs 2025 Jeep Compass

Looking for a compact SUV that brings comfort, convenience, and confident performance to every drive? The 2025 Ford Escape and 2025 Jeep Compass both check the right boxes, but they cater to different types of drivers. Whether you’re running errands in Logan, WV, or planning a getaway through the mountains, Thornhill Ford in Chapmanville, WV, is here to help you weigh your options. Let’s compare these two versatile SUVs from the inside out.

Interior Comparison

The 2025 Ford Escape delivers a quiet, spacious interior with intuitive design and available upscale touches like a panoramic Vista Roof® and heated sport contour seats. Rear-seat passengers enjoy generous legroom, and the sliding second row adds even more versatility when you need to balance people and gear. Storage is smartly placed throughout, and with the rear seats folded, cargo space opens up significantly.

On the other hand, the 2025 Jeep Compass has a more rugged cabin feel with available leather trim and soft-touch accents. While its seats are comfortable for daily driving, the Compass doesn’t offer quite the same room to stretch out or configure your interior space on demand.

Power & Performance

Under the hood, the 2025 Ford Escape delivers a smooth and responsive driving experience with a range of turbocharged gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid engines available. With optional all-wheel drive and selectable drive modes, it adapts well to changing weather or weekend adventures. Steering feels light yet confident, and braking is firm without being abrupt.

The 2025 Jeep Compass comes standard with a turbocharged engine and 4x4 capability across the lineup, which gives it some trail credibility. However, acceleration can feel a bit sluggish, and it lacks the hybrid variety offered by the Escape for drivers focused on efficiency or lower fuel costs.

Tech & Entertainment

The 2025 Ford Escape comes packed with smart standard features that make driving easier and more connected. The SYNC® 4 infotainment system is responsive and cleanly designed, with wireless smartphone integration and a standard touchscreen that's bright and easy to navigate. Voice recognition and connected navigation add even more function without the hassle.

The 2025 Jeep Compass also includes a solid tech offering, including Uconnect® 5. It’s visually appealing but slightly slower in response compared to SYNC® 4, and fewer features come standard at the base trim level.
