Whether you’re into hybrids, plug-ins, or full-electric drives, the new Compass seems to check all the boxes.

Space
Jeep has taken comfort seriously this time. The new Compass adds 55mm of legroom, which might not sound like much on paper but makes a real difference when you’re stretching out on longer trips. And if you like stashing snacks, gadgets, or extra gear, there’s now a much bigger 34-litre front storage compartment.
Even the boot space has had an upgrade—now 550 litres, which is 45 litres more than before. That’s enough room for more suitcases, a pram, or even your weekend adventure gear.
Tech
Here’s where it gets exciting. Jeep hasn’t just updated its screen size—they’ve gone full sci-fi. The new infotainment system includes a crisp 10-inch digital cluster and a massive 16-inch central display. Add to that Level 2 autonomous driving features, a head-up display, and semi-automatic lane change, and you’re basically driving a high-tech lounge.
Matrix LED headlights also make night drives safer and cooler-looking. They’re intelligent enough to adjust beam patterns in real-time—ideal for countryside drives or tricky city streets.
Powertrains
Jeep’s giving you options like never before. Three powertrains are available:
- A 145bhp 48V mild hybrid
- A 195bhp plug-in hybrid
- Three fully electric (BEV) versions
And here’s where it gets juicier: The BEV line-up includes a 213bhp front-wheel drive option, and a 375bhp all-wheel drive variant. The AWD version packs a punch with a new rear electric motor that delivers 49kW of peak power and up to 232Nm of torque.
Let’s break it down in a quick table:
| Powertrain Type | Power Output | Drive Type | Extra Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| 48V e-hybrid | 145 bhp | FWD | Mild hybrid for better efficiency |
| Plug-in hybrid | 195 bhp | Likely AWD | Combines power and fuel savings |
| BEV (FWD) | 213 bhp | Front-wheel drive | Best for city driving, 500km range |
| BEV (AWD) | 375 bhp | All-wheel drive | Powerful motor, top-tier performance |
Charging
Charging the new Compass won’t keep you waiting around. Thanks to a 160kW DC fast-charging system, you can juice up from 20% to 80% in just 30 minutes. That’s just enough time for a coffee and snack break.
The onboard charger is also no slouch, offering up to 22kW, which is great for home or workplace charging setups.
And if range anxiety is your nemesis, don’t worry—Jeep claims a maximum BEV range of up to 650km. Even the more modest 213bhp BEV gives you around 500km, which is more than enough for most road trips or weekly commuting without daily charging.
Edition
To sweeten the deal, Jeep is rolling out a First Edition Compass. This version gives buyers the choice between the 145bhp 48V hybrid or the 213bhp BEV variant. It’s clearly designed to offer early adopters the best of both worlds—dependable hybrid efficiency or a clean, green electric drive with decent range.
The First Edition isn’t just about choice—it’s a signal that Jeep wants to make a strong first impression with this revamped Compass. Whether you’re all in on EV or just testing the waters with hybrid tech, this edition gives you flexibility.
With better space, smarter tech, and a powertrain for every kind of driver, Jeep’s new Compass looks ready to make waves in the compact SUV market. Whether you’re chasing comfort, performance, or sustainability, this latest model proves that the Compass is no longer just a practical choice—it’s now a compelling one.
