JEEP COMPASS 4XE
Jeep is planning to launch its updated version of Compass plug-in hybrid in 2022. The vehicle is technically emphasized when compared with the ‘First Edition’ model which was launched in Europe in the late 2020s at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show. The Compass is the second model that Jeep is offering in Europe with a plug-in hybrid powertrain after the Renegade small SUV. The company claims that the model was put through their paces in real-world scenarios that customers themselves could encounter, as the vehicles’ advanced plug-in hybrid systems were tested to their limits. With compass 4xe, Jeep is starting a new age of mobility and developing further without forgetting the roots of the brand.
Engine And Battery Specific Of Jeep Compass 4xe
Jeep optimizes all-wheel drive which results in a total of 240 hp and a maximum torque of 525 Nm. It also combines its characteristic, legendary off-road capabilities with a powerful electric motor. The 180 horsepower 1.3 liter turbo petrol engine drives the front wheels, while the 60 horsepower electric motor, combined with lots of characteristic legendary off-road capabilities, located on the rear axle, drives the rear wheels. This reduces fuel consumption and emissions while increasing safety and performance. The car accelerates from zero to 100 kph in about 7.5 seconds. It has a top speed of 200 kph in hybrid mode and 130 kph using electric power only.
The American brand indicates that emissions are less than 50 g / km according to the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle).With the new Jeep Compass 4xe Plug-In Hybrid we can choose between three different driving modes: Hybrid, uses the power of both motors, electric, only uses the electric motor and offers low-emission, quiet locomotion, and e-Save, in which the battery of our hybrid SUV is conserved and recharged. The introduction of the new sport mode in the Selec-Terrain system combines the maximum power of both engines in order to optimize both driving behavior and performance. It also gets an “Intense eCoasting” mode that dials up the amount of regenerative braking when both the throttle and brake pedal are released.
The Jeep Compass 4xe is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 11 kWh which enables fully electric driving for 50 kilometers. Recharging takes just 100 minutes with the 7.4 kW Wallbox, or 3 and a half hours when recharged at 3 kW. Charging can be managed via the driver’s smartphone. The Wallbox is an intelligent and intuitive charging system that can be easily installed at home. The Wallbox provides an overview of how much energy is consumed in the house and adjusts its charging capacity accordingly in order to avoid overloading our power grid. It is also able to record charging data in order to optimize future charging processes.
Interior Accentuation Of Jeep Compass 4xe
The Compass’ interior is entirely new with a horizontal theme for the dash illuminated with genuine wood, aluminum and carbon fiber. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto are along for the ride, and so is a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, interactive 3D TomTom navigation and natural voice recognition. The frameless screen provides access to a new version of Stellantis’ easy-to-use Uconnect control system.
Based on an Android operating system, Uconnect 5.0 is five times faster than Jeep’s current processor. It responds to “Hey Jeep” wake words and swiping motions. We will be able to get a clear diagnosis of the vehicle, plan and select the charging power and find the nearest charging station within the display. The infotainment system combines the latest options to get the most out of hybrid mobility. With the new GOe app we can analyze our driving behavior, plan or record routes and compare energy consumption as well as the operating costs and emissions of our Jeep Compass 4xe plug-in hybrid with another vehicle.
Exterior Highlights And Safety Aids Of Jeep Compass 4xe
Safety is also a top priority with the new Jeep Compass 4xe Plug-In Hybrid. It is equipped with modern systems that ensure our safety at all times while driving. So that we can set off on new adventures with our Jeep with peace of mind. Difficult roads, unexpected obstacles or sudden changes. Whatever happens, security is always a matter of control. With the new Jeep Compass 4xe Plug-In Hybrid we can enjoy a calming and safe journey thanks to 70 available, active and passive safety functions.
The great attraction of this First Edition is in the extension and the quality of the standard equipment. This includes LED headlights, blind spot control, rear camera with Park Assist parking sensors, keyless entry and start system. The Compass’ exterior punctuates a squeezed interpretation of the brand’s trademark seven-slot grille extending beyond the front to equally slim headlights with available LEDs and daytime running lights. LED tail lights continue the horizontal theme. Jeep says the headlights are twice as bright as the current Compass’s Xenon lamps for better depth perception and peripheral illumination.
Safety and driver assistance featured in the Jeep Compass include Traffic sign recognition, Speed limit recognition and automatic response, Adaptive cruise control, Highway assist lane centering, Drowsy driver alert, Automatic emergency front braking and Pedestrian and cyclist detection. Highway assist is new to the brand in European countries. It combines adaptive cruise control, which manages speed and following distance, with lane centering that keeps the vehicle in the middle of its lane. The driver must keep a hand on the wheel at all times.

The updated Compass is expected to go into North American production at Toluca, Mexico, in the first half of 2022. Details on features and prices will be available closer to then.
