The Jeep® Compass 4xe is more than just an electric vehicle; it's a bold statement of freedom and capability. In a market where electrification is becoming the norm, the Compass 4xe stands out as a testament to Jeep's commitment to innovation and adventure. With orders now open across Europe, this new model is set to redefine the boundaries of what an electric SUV can be. But what makes the Compass 4xe truly fascinating is how it seamlessly blends cutting-edge technology with the brand's iconic off-road prowess. Personally, I think this is a game-changer for the segment, offering drivers a unique blend of performance, sustainability, and the legendary Jeep spirit. The 4xe version is the pinnacle of Jeep's electrification efforts, boasting a powerful 375 hp and an extended electric range of over 600 km. This is a significant leap forward, especially considering the brand's rich history in off-road vehicles. What many people don't realize is that the Compass 4xe is not just an electric version of a traditional SUV; it's a fully electric, all-wheel-drive C-SUV, designed to tackle any terrain with ease. The new BEV Long Range model, with its 674 km range, further enriches the Compass' electrified lineup, providing drivers with even more freedom of choice. The Compass 4xe is not just about performance; it's also about practicality and comfort. The interior is designed with off-road use in mind, featuring durable materials and practical solutions. The polyurethane-coated seat fabric, for instance, is twice as durable as conventional cloth and easier to clean, making it ideal for adventurous souls. The rear seatbacks have an anti-scratch surface, perfect for pet owners or those who transport gear, and the heavy-duty rubber mats provide superior protection from mud, water, and debris. The Compass 4xe is not just a technological marvel; it's also a design statement. The seven-slot grille, a signature Jeep feature, is now backlit, adding a modern twist to the brand's iconic look. The model's bold design is further enhanced by the modular bumper, which is made of black mold-in material to protect the body paintwork. The Compass 4xe is a perfect example of how design can be contemporary and trendy, yet true to the brand's heritage. The model's global appeal is evident in its successful track record, with over 2.5 million units sold worldwide since 2006. The Compass is designed in Torino and produced in Melfi (Italy), making it a true global vehicle. The new Compass 4xe further expands the model's appeal by offering new high-performance and high-capability versions. The dual motor architecture ensures outstanding traction, with up to 3,100 Nm at the rear wheels, allowing the vehicle to climb a 20% slope with zero traction on the front wheels. The suspension tuning, with new springs, dampers, and antiroll bar, grants the perfect balance between off-road capability and seamless daily usability. The Compass 4xe is available in two trim levels: the 4xe UPLAND and the 4xe OVERLAND. The UPLAND trim comes with Hill Descent Control, 19" wheels with M+S standard tires, rear tow hook, front fog lights, and roof rails, all coupled with a dedicated interior in "tan" finishing. The OVERLAND trim, on the other hand, features dedicated 19" diamond cut wheels, backlit 7-slot grille with matrix LED standard, matt black front fascia, privacy glass, and ultra-robust upholstery. The Compass 4xe is not just a new addition to the Jeep lineup; it's a pivotal moment in the brand's journey towards electrification. With the launch of the new Compass 4xe and the BEV Long Range model, Jeep is fully renovating its offering in the B-SUV and C-SUV segments in Europe. This is a bold step into the future, where freedom of choice and innovation are at the forefront. In my opinion, Jeep is setting a new standard for electric SUVs, proving that electric can be uncompromisingly Jeep, providing full capability and full freedom. The Compass 4xe is not just a vehicle; it's a symbol of Jeep's commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible, both on and off the road.
