We want to narrow all of that down to just two of the very best models in the automotive world. These vehicles include the 2020 Jeep Compass and the 2020 Kia Sportage.

To really find out which SUV you can rely on, keep reading as we go through the engines and features that you can enjoy!
2020 Jeep Compass Power & Handling
The Compass is starting things off with one standard engine! Have no fear, this standard engine has all of the power and capability you could ever want. Not only does this 2.4-liter inline-4 give you around 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque, but it also allows you a few configurations to really make it your own. Not many engines are available with three transmissions and two drivetrains. Those transmissions include a six-speed manual or automatic, and a nine-speed automatic. As for the drivetrain, you can expect two-wheel drive, with four-wheel drive available on some of the models. You will be able to enjoy the open road, and the trails on the weekends.
2020 Kia Sportage Power & Handling
Two engines are available with the 2020 Sportage. The base engine is a 2.4-liter inline-4, which outputs 175 pound-feet of torque and 181 horsepower. The available engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4, which offers up to 240 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Only one transmission is offered; a six-speed automatic. The lack of any other transmissions is pretty disappointing, even with available front-wheel or all-wheel drive.
