The competition for the title of the world’s best SUV has become far more intense in recent years. While SUVs have been popular for years now, new competitors are finally starting to appear on the scene with more sophisticated designs, advanced technology and even more capable off-road capabilities. To help you make up your mind which vehicle is the best option for you, we’ve taken a detailed look at two of the world’s top-selling SUVs: The 2023 BMW X5 and the 2023 Jeep Compass. Both vehicles are comfortable, spacious, powerful and equipped with useful features. And like all good SUVs, they offer an ample amount of space for passengers and cargo as well as high ground clearance for snow and ice-covered roads alike. Now that you know what to expect from both SUVS and SUV models in general, let’s take a look at how each brand stacks up against one another in the SUV race.
Design & Style
When it comes to exterior design, the 2023 BMW X5 and the 2023 Jeep Compass offer two different approaches. The X5’s sleek and angular design is inspired by classic sports cars, while the Compass is rugged and utilitarian, with more pronounced curves and a more muscular look.
Both vehicles are attractive in their own way, but the BMW X5 has a clear edge when it comes to aesthetics. Its sweeping lines and graceful curves are sure to turn heads, while the Jeep Compass may be a little too boxy for some drivers’ tastes.
That said, the Jeep Compass does have some features that the BMW X5 lacks. For example, its standard roof rails make it easy to carry gear or luggage on long trips, while the X5 does not have this option.
The 2023 BMW X5 and the 2023 Jeep Compass offer different interior design options for drivers and passengers. The BMW X5 offers a sleek, modern look with its leather seats, wood trim, and digital displays. The Jeep Compass offers a more rugged look with its cloth seats, plastic trim, and analog displays. Both vehicles offer many features and amenities, but the BMW X5 has a slight edge in terms of luxury and comfort.
Technology & Safety
When it comes to technology and safety features, the 2023 BMW X5 and Jeep Compass are quite comparable. Both vehicles offer rearview cameras, parking sensors, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning systems, and collision avoidance systems. However, the BMW X5 offers a few more features that the Jeep Compass does not have. These include a Heads-Up Display (HUD), which projects important information such as speed and navigation directions onto the windshield in front of the driver; a Surround View Camera system, which provides a 360-degree view of the surrounding area around the vehicle; and Gesture Control, which allows drivers to control certain functions of the vehicle using simple hand gestures. The BMW X5 is also available with a self-parking feature that will automatically park the vehicle in a designated space.
Performance
The BMW X5 comes equipped with a 3.0L Inline 6 turbocharged engine that produces 335 hp and 330 lb-ft of torque. The Jeep Compass, on the other hand, has a 2.4L Tigershark MultiAir2 engine that produces 180 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque.
The BMW X5 is the clear winner when it comes to engine power. It has more horsepower and significantly more torque than the Jeep Compass. This means that the BMW X5 will be able to accelerate faster and pull heavier loads than the Jeep Compass.
The Bottom Line
The all-new BMW X5 was first introduced in 2002 and has been a popular choice for luxury SUVs since. The X5 is known for its sleek design, powerful engine, and luxurious features. And while other SUVs have come onto the market in recent years, the BMW X5 remains one of the best choices available. What’s more, the X5 is packed with the latest in safety and technology features, making it a great choice for any driver.
