Jeep Compass vs Skoda Enyaq

The Skoda Enyaq costs £2,011 more than the Jeep Compass. On the headline specs that premium buys little measurable advantage - the two are closely matched on range, charging and space. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Skoda Enyaq comes out ahead overall.

The Jeep Compass is £2,011 cheaper to buy. The Skoda Enyaq is cheaper to charge, roughly £160 a year versus £208 for the Jeep Compass, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Jeep Compass comes out roughly £1,771 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 193 miles for the Jeep Compass and 224 miles for the Skoda Enyaq - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Skoda Enyaq goes roughly 32 miles further between charging stops. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 35 minutes in the Jeep Compass and 24 in the Skoda Enyaq, so the Skoda Enyaq loses less time at each stop. That makes the Skoda Enyaq the stronger long-distance car.

The two are within 21 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 521 mm of total clearance for the Skoda Enyaq and about 500 mm of total clearance for the Jeep Compass.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Jeep Compass and 84% for the Skoda Enyaq. 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.
