Where each one leads
Jeep Compass
- New Jeep Compass cars registered in Europe in 2022 average 90 g/km of CO₂ on the WLTP test, against 144 for the Nissan Qashqai in 2022.
- Measured by the cars' own fuel meters, the petrol hybrid Jeep Compass uses 6.7 l/100 km on the road, the Nissan Qashqai 7.2.
Nissan Qashqai
- On Canada's official test the most frugal 2023 Nissan Qashqai uses 8.2 l/100 km, the 2022 Jeep Compass 9.3.

Too close to call: MOT pass rate against cars of the same age; dutch odometer readings judged illogical.
Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
