What are the BMW iX2 and Jeep Compass like on a long motorway trip?

Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the BMW iX2 or the Jeep Compass?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the BMW iX2 and 84% for the Jeep Compass. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation.
