Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Jeep Compass or the Vauxhall Grandland?
The Jeep Compass is £356 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £192 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the two land within £276 of each other - effectively the same to own. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Jeep Compass and Vauxhall Grandland like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 193 miles for the Jeep Compass and 220 miles for the Vauxhall Grandland - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Vauxhall Grandland goes roughly 27 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 30-35 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Jeep Compass or the Vauxhall Grandland?
The Jeep Compass is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 208 mm narrower than the Vauxhall Grandland. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 500 mm of total clearance for the Jeep Compass and about 292 mm of total clearance for the Vauxhall Grandland.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Jeep Compass or the Vauxhall Grandland?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Jeep Compass and 84% for the Vauxhall Grandland. 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.
