Jeep Compass EV surpassed industry expectations with an innovative design, advanced technological features, and an astonishing 400-mile electric range. As Jeep’s per-SUV offering, the Compass EV is poised to capture a significant share of the growing electric vehicle market.
Now that the Renegade and Cherokee models have been discontinued, the Compass serves as the entry-level vehicle for Jeep, now with a bold new electric twist. What makes the Compass EV such a game-changer? Let us take a closer look.
The Compass EV: The Electric Super Power
Advanced features are powered by a new generation of electric technologies set forth by Jeep during unveiling its newest electric vehicle, the Compass EV. As stated during a press event, Jeep aims to redefine electric-powered SUV capabilities. Emphasizing the rugged character of its vintage models, the Compass EV integrates powerful modern updates with cutting-edge electric powertrains.
Design and Aerodynamic Upgrades for Maximum Efficiency
Considering the traditional Jeep design, the Compass EV indisputably has the brand’s 7-slot grille, fitted with an Active Grille Shutter to increase aerodynamics. Moreover, the design features air ducts at the front and rear wheel arches, a flat belly, and sharp rear edges, improving vehicle efficiency and reducing drag by 10%.
For trail-ready dependability in the city, the Compass EV has an anti-scratch modular shield and reinforced bumpers, giving the vehicle both off-road and everyday casual protection.
A High-Tech Interior with Cutting-Edge Features
Modern drivers are treated to a tech cockpit in the dashboard on the center console of the Compass EV, which also features an infotainment system with a 10-inch digital cluster and a 16-inch organic light-emitting diode touchscreen that is controllable with both touch and voice. As a result, the vehicle benefits from OTA updates, which build upon the vehicle over time.
Level 2 autonomous driving is a flagship feature alongside more advanced ones like semi-automatic lane change, head-up display, and Matrix LED headlights found on higher trims or offered as upgrades.
Powertrain Options: Different Choices to Suit Any Adventure
Jeep offers multiple powertrain options for the Compass EV, including:
- 48V e-Hybrid with 145 HP
- 195 HP Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV)
- Three All-Electric Variants:
- FWD with 213 HP and up to 311 miles (500 km) of range
- AWD with 375 HP and a 404-mile (650 km) range
The rear electric motor in the AWD version alone gives out 49 kW (kilowatts) and 232 Newton meters (Nm) of torque. This energy enables the Compass EV to ascend 20-degree slopes while the front wheels lack traction. Also, 160 kW DC fast-charging technology means you can top the Compass charge from 20% to 80% in about 30 minutes.
The First Edition: Premium Features for Discerning Buyers
Jeep is introducing the First Edition of the Compass EV for discerning buyers. It includes features such as:
- 20-inch wheels
- Matrix LED headlights
- Enhanced off-road performance with Selec-Terrain system
- Hands-free power tailgate
- 360-degree safety protection
- Level 2 autonomous driving capabilities
- Ventilated and massaging seats
- Open-air sunroof
- Semi-automated lane change assistance
Available in 48V e-Hybrid and 213 HP all-electric versions, the First Edition comes with all defined and luxurious attributes.
Pricing and Availability
Expected to follow. Pricing for the US Model is expected to be between $30,000 and $35,000, competing in the electric SUV market. While in Europe, the starting price for Compass 4xe PHEV is €42,995, which is approximately $48,500
Conclusion: Jeep’s Brave Step into the World of Electric Vehicles
