The Compass’ pre-crash front seatbelts will tighten automatically in the event the vehicle detects an impending crash, improving protection against injury significantly. The Cooper Clubman doesn’t offer pre-crash pretensioners.

For enhanced safety, the front seat shoulder belts of the Jeep Compass are height-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of driver and passenger heights. A better fit can prevent injuries and the increased comfort also encourages passengers to buckle up. The MINI Cooper Clubman doesn’t offer height-adjustable seat belts.

In the past twenty years hundreds of infants and young children have died after being left in vehicles, usually by accident. When turning the vehicle off, drivers of the Compass are reminded to check the back seat if they opened the rear door before starting out. The Cooper Clubman doesn’t offer a back seat reminder.

The Compass has standard Active Head Restraints, which use a specially designed headrest to protect the driver and front passenger from whiplash. During a rear-end collision, the Active Head Restraints system moves the headrests forward to prevent neck and spine injuries. The Cooper Clubman doesn’t offer a whiplash protection system.

To provide maximum traction and stability on all roads, All-Wheel Drive is standard on the Compass. But it costs extra on the Cooper Clubman.

When descending a steep, off-road slope, the Compass Trailhawk’s standard Hill-descent Control allows you to creep down safely. The Cooper Clubman doesn’t offer Hill-descent Control.

The Compass Latitude/Trailhawk/Limited offers an optional Surround View Camera to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle on a screen. The Cooper Clubman only offers a rear monitor and front and rear parking sensors that beep or flash a light. That doesn’t help with obstacles to the sides.

The Compass’ blind spot warning system uses sensors to alert the driver to objects in the vehicle’s blind spots where the side view mirrors don’t reveal them. The Cooper Clubman doesn’t offer a system to reveal objects in the driver’s blind spots.

To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the Compass’ standard Rear Cross Path Detection uses sensors in the rear to alert the driver to vehicles approaching from the side, helping the driver avoid collisions. The Cooper Clubman doesn’t offer a rear cross-path warning system.

Both the Compass and the Cooper Clubman have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, plastic fuel tanks, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, rearview cameras and driver alert monitors.

Jeep’s powertrain warranty covers the Compass 1 year and 10,000 miles longer than MINI covers the Cooper Clubman. Any repair needed on the engine, transmission, axles, joints or driveshafts is fully covered for 5 years or 60,000 miles. Coverage on the Cooper Clubman ends after only 4 years or 50,000 miles.

There are over 23 times as many Jeep dealers as there are MINI dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Compass’ warranty.

The Cooper Clubman’s redline is at 7000 RPM, which causes more engine wear, and a greater chance of a catastrophic engine failure. The Compass has a 5800 RPM redline.

To reliably power the ignition and other systems and to recharge the battery, the Compass has a standard 180-amp alternator. The Cooper Clubman’s 150-amp alternator isn’t as powerful.

The Compass’ 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder produces 11 more horsepower (200 vs. 189) and 15 lbs.-ft. more torque (221 vs. 206) than the Cooper Clubman S’ standard 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder.

On the EPA test cycle the Compass gets better mileage than the Cooper Clubman:

			MPG
Compass
AWD	Auto	2.0 turbo 4-cyl.	24 city/32 hwy
Cooper Clubman
FWD	Manual	2.0 turbo 4-cyl.	22 city/32 hwy
AWD	Auto	S 2.0 turbo 4-cyl.	23 city/32 hwy
		JCW 2.0 turbo 4-cyl.	23 city/31 hwy

To lower fuel costs and make buying fuel easier, the Jeep Compass uses regular unleaded gasoline. The JCW Clubman requires premium, which can cost on average about 84.9 cents more per gallon.

The Compass has a standard cap-less fueling system. The fuel filler is automatically opened when the fuel nozzle is inserted and automatically closed when it’s removed. This eliminates the need to unscrew and replace the cap and it reduces fuel evaporation, which causes pollution. The Cooper Clubman doesn’t offer a cap-less fueling system.

The Compass Trailhawk has a standard full size spare tire so a flat doesn’t interrupt your trip. A full size spare isn’t available on the Cooper Clubman; it requires you to depend on a temporary spare or run-flat tires, either of which has mileage and speed limitations.

The Compass’ drift compensation steering can automatically compensate for road conditions which would cause the vehicle to drift from side to side, helping the driver to keep the vehicle straight more easily. The Cooper Clubman doesn’t offer drift compensation steering.

For better maneuverability, the Compass Trailhawk’s turning circle is 1.8 feet tighter than the Cooper Clubman’s (35.3 feet vs. 37.1 feet). The Compass 4x4 Sport/Latitude/Limited’s turning circle is .8 feet tighter than the Cooper Clubman’s (36.3 feet vs. 37.1 feet).

For greater off-road capability the Compass has a 2.5 inches greater minimum ground clearance than the Cooper Clubman (8.1 vs. 5.6 inches), allowing the Compass to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged. The Compass Trailhawk’s minimum ground clearance is 3 inches higher than on the Cooper Clubman (8.6 vs. 5.6 inches).

The Compass has 7.1 cubic feet more passenger volume than the Cooper Clubman (99.6 vs. 92.5).

The Compass has 2 inches more front shoulder room, .5 inches more rear headroom, 4 inches more rear legroom and 2.3 inches more rear shoulder room than the Cooper Clubman.

The Compass has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat up than the Cooper Clubman with its rear seat up (27.2 vs. 17.5 cubic feet). The Compass has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the Cooper Clubman with its rear seat folded (59.8 vs. 47.9 cubic feet).

The Compass’ cargo area is larger than the Cooper Clubman’s in almost every dimension:

	Compass	Cooper Clubman
Length to seat (2nd/1st)	32.4”/65.7”	28.9”/60.8”
Max Width	53.8”	53”
Min Width	38.1”	40.2”
Height	29.6”	30”

The Compass’ liftgate lifts up in one piece, completely out of the way of loading and unloading, while sheltering the cargo loading area. The Cooper Clubman’s two swing out doors impair rear visibility, need a lot of clearance, and can block loading in tight quarters.

To make loading and unloading groceries and cargo easier, especially for short adults, the Compass Latitude/Trailhawk/Limited offers an optional power liftgate, which opens and closes automatically by pressing a button or just by kicking your foot under the back bumper, completely leaving your hands free. The Cooper Clubman doesn’t offer a power cargo door, so its cargo door has to be closed manually.

The Compass Trailhawk with Towing Package offers up to a 2000 lbs. towing capacity. The Cooper Clubman has no towing capacity.

Standard Trailer Sway Control on the Compass uses the Electronic Stability Control sensors to detect trailer sway, then uses individual brakes to counteract any swaying and help keep the tow vehicle and trailer steady. The Cooper Clubman doesn’t offer electronic trailer sway control.

The Compass offers a remote vehicle starting system, so the vehicle can be started from inside the driver's house. This allows the driver to comfortably warm up the engine before going out to the vehicle. The climate system will also automatically heat or cool the interior. The Cooper Clubman doesn’t offer a remote starting system.

The Compass’ instruments include an oil pressure gauge and a temperature gauge - which could save your engine! Often ‘idiot lights’ don’t warn you until damage has been done. The Cooper Clubman does not have an oil pressure gauge.

To improve rear visibility by keeping the rear window clear, the Compass has a standard rear variable intermittent wiper with a full on position. The rear wiper standard on the Cooper Clubman only has an intermittent setting, so in a hard rain visibility isn’t as good.

To shield the driver and front passenger’s vision over a larger portion of the windshield and side windows, the Compass has standard extendable sun visors. The Cooper Clubman doesn’t offer extendable visors.

Both the Compass and the Cooper Clubman offer available heated front seats. The Compass Trailhawk/Limited also offers optional heated rear seats to keep those passengers extremely comfortable in the winter. Heated rear seats aren’t available in the Cooper Clubman.

Optional air-conditioned seats in the Compass Limited/Trailhawk keep the driver and front passenger comfortable and take the sting out of hot seats in Summer. The Cooper Clubman doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats.

The Compass (except Sport) offers an optional 115-volt a/c outlet on the center console, allowing you to recharge a laptop or run small household appliances without special adapters that can break or get misplaced. The Cooper Clubman doesn’t offer a house-current electrical outlet.
