The Jeep Compass is back—and it’s had an electrifying glow-up. In a world where SUVs are either too soft for the trail or too stiff for the school run, Jeep has launched a rugged renaissance on wheels: the all-new Jeep Compass, now smarter, sleeker, and savvier than ever. This compact C-SUV doesn’t just raise the bar—it takes it off-road, straps it to a BEV, and drives it up a 20% incline.
Unveiled at midnight in Italy (because what’s more dramatic than a moonlit Jeep drop?), the new Compass is built on Stellantis’ STLA Medium platform, and it’s more than just a pretty face with a seven-slot grin. It’s available with three powertrains—e-Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid, and full BEV—meaning whether you want a dash of electric or the whole 650 km juice bar, there’s a Compass ready to point the way.
Design DNA: If It Ain’t Broke, Clad It in Rugged Plastic
It’s unmistakably a Jeep, from the classic trapezoidal wheel arches to the boxy silhouette that says “adventure-ready” even when parked at a grocery store. The new anti-scratch Jeep shield and repositioned radar ensure you can scrape branches, not your dignity, on the trail. Six earthy exterior colors—like “Yosemite Grey” and “Hawaii Green”—are less SUV paint and more National Geographic playlist.
And yes, it fits in city parking spots. At 4.55 meters, it’s one of the smallest STLA Medium platform products, yet Jeep’s interior wizardry has squeezed in 55mm more legroom, 550L of boot space, and 34L of front storage for all your snack-hiding needs.
Tech-Savvy with a Compass of Its Own
Inside, the Compass goes full tech-forward. A 10″ digital cluster, 16″ infotainment screen, and Level 2 autonomous driving come standard—because nothing says rugged like a dashboard that could host a TED Talk. Over-the-air updates, matrix LEDs, and even semi-automated lane changes mean the Compass is now more cutting-edge than your boss’s startup idea.
There’s even mobile phone access—because unlocking your Jeep with your phone is officially cooler than unlocking your phone with your face.
Power to the People (and the Planet)
The engine lineup is where things get spicy. Choose from:
- 145 hp 48V e-Hybrid
- 195 hp Plug-in Hybrid
- 213 hp BEV with FWD
- Or go full beast mode with a 375 hp AWD BEV—yes, it has 3100 Nm torque at the rear wheels. That’s enough to climb a 20% slope with the front wheels on vacation.
Charging? You’ll go from 20% to 80% in 30 minutes with DC fast charging. Enough time for a coffee and a smug chat about CO₂ reduction.
First Edition: Limited-Time, Maximum Swagger
If exclusivity fuels your engine, the First Edition is your golden ticket. Offered in two flavors (e-Hybrid or BEV), it packs 20-inch wheels, LED Matrix headlamps, hands-free tailgate, 360° scratch protection, and standard heated seats—because rugged shouldn’t mean cold bum.
Optional extras? Think massaging seats, panoramic sunroof, and semi-automated lane changes. Because why not?
Fabio Catone, Head of Jeep in Enlarged Europe, summed it up:
“The new Compass delivers ruggedness, refinement, and relevance in one electrified package. It’s a Jeep through and through—but made for today’s drivers, today’s roads, and tomorrow’s emissions targets.”
So, whether you’re blazing trails, idling in Milan traffic, or just trying to look cool outside a co-working space, the new Jeep Compass has you covered. Rugged, refined, and ready to reboot your road trips—this Compass doesn’t just point north. It points forward.
