Trunk comparison: Jeep Compass vs Nissan Rogue Sport

Key Differences and Impact on Usability

The most noticeable difference is the depth of the trunk: The Jeep Compass offers a trunk depth between the loading edge and trunk floor that is 3.9 in (167%) greater than the Nissan Qashqai.

This practically means more vertical storage space below the loading edge – useful if you need to stand tall or bulky items upright or want to use additional volume under a loading floor. At the same time, cargo placed deeper can be further back and thus less accessible.

Other, but smaller differences: The Nissan Qashqai has a usable loading length that is 2 in (6%) longer with the rear seat upright and is 2.8 in (7%) wider at the narrowest point as well as having a trunk opening that is 3.5 in (9%) wider than the Jeep.

The Jeep has a trunk opening that is 2 in (6%) higher. The loading edge height is the same on both models.

These differences mean: The Qashqai makes it easier to load wide or long items with the rear seat upright and overall has slightly better lateral usability, while the Compass is better suited for tall or under-loading-edge stowage due to its greater depth.

With the smaller percentage differences, the practical effects are rather moderate.

Conclusion: For frequently transported tall items or those stowed under a floor, the Jeep Compass is advantageous. Those who often load wide or longer cargo with the rear seat upright will benefit more from the Nissan Qashqai.
