A bold new step into the future of electrification, innovation, and adventure: Jeep® opens orders for two new Compass versions, which add to the model’s existing powertrain line-up. At the core of Jeep’s product strategy is the “freedom of choice” concept, embodied by the development of multi-energy products across the range. Fabio Catone, Head of Jeep Brand in Enlarged Europe, said: “Freedom has always inspired us. It’s imprinted in the essence of our iconic brand: freedom to move, to change, to choose. The new Compass 4xe proves electric can be uncompromisingly Jeep, providing full capability and full freedom.
New Jeep Compass: a pillar of Jeep’s global growth
New Jeep Compass is a global vehicle designed in Torino and produced in Melfi (Italy). With over 2.5 million units sold worldwide since 2006, it is one of the most successful Jeep models ever.
The new 4xe further expands the appeal of the model by bringing to the market new high-performance and high-capability versions.
375 hp full-electric 4xe: the pinnacle of capability
The new Compass 4xe, the top of the line-up with 375 hp and all-wheel drive capability, is based on a dual-motor electric architecture for full traction control on each axle. It adopts two separate EDMs with maximum power of 157 kW at the front and 132 kw at the rear. This second motor has been specifically developed for Jeep, and enables the highest power output and torque for a vehicle built on the STLA Medium platform.
Powered by a battery with 96.1 kWh usable energy storage, the system offers a combined WLTP range of more than 600 km with very short charging times (20 to 80% in 27 minutes only).
231 hp BEV Long Range: more miles with no recharge
To allow electric range up to 674 km, Compass Long-Range BEV introduces a new, high-performance Lithium-Ion battery. Thanks to 12 modules and 192 cells, this battery offers 96.3 kWh usable energy and is rechargeable 20 to 80% in 27 minutes. This is due to high capacity, longer high-power charging times, and state-of-the-art battery functions such as predictive preconditioning.
Greater energy availability translates into increased Electric Drive Motor performance, due to a new calibration that delivers peak power of 170 kW (231 hp).
