2018 Toyota RAV4 vs 2018 Jeep Compass  

Standard and Available Safety Features in the 2018 RAV4 and 2018 Compass 

Whether you are using your crossover for family transport or as a weekend warrior, it's important to make sure your new ride comes complete with modern safety features that can help to ensure each trip is a safe one. While both the 2018 Toyota RAV4 and the 2018 Jeep Compass provide passive safety like airbags and safety belts, the active safety offerings on the 2018 Toyota RAV4 are far more robust than what is available on the 2018 Jeep Compass making the 2018 Toyota RAV4 the best overall safety pick.   

All trim levels and configurations of the 2018 Toyota RAV4 are equipped with the Toyota Safety Sense active safety bundle including lane departure alert with steering assist, dynamic radar cruise control, a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, and automatic high beams. Using cameras positioned throughout the outside of the vehicle, these systems work together to alert drivers to potential hazards and in some cases can automatically intervene when no driver action is detected. A blind spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert is also available on higher trim levels of the 2018 RAV4.   

The base Sport trim of the 2018 Jeep Compass does not include any active safety features meaning drivers will have to pay more for higher trim levels or add-on packages if they want active safety included in their 2018 Compass purchase. Available active safety on the 2018 Compass includes automatic headlights, rear parking sensors, LaneSense, and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking.
