New Jeep Compass 4xe: 375 hp and Up to 373-Mile Range

Jeep opens orders in Europe for a high-powered Compass 4xe

Jeep has begun taking orders in Europe for the all-new Compass 4xe, a plug-in hybrid that combines off-road capability with a generous electric range. The model arrives as part of a reworked Compass family developed on Stellantis' STLA Medium platform and offers a headline-grabbing 375 horsepower and up to 373 miles of range under WLTP testing.*

*Note: the quoted range is based on the WLTP cycle used in Europe, which is generally more permissive than the EPA test procedure; EPA figures would likely be a few percentage points lower and may better reflect everyday driving.

Design and packaging: roomier, cleaner lines

Designed in Torino and built in Melfi, Italy, the new Compass benefits from an extended wheelbase for improved interior space and practical packaging. The exterior receives contemporary Jeep styling cues — a newly backlit seven-slot grille shared with the Avenger, 360-degree lower-body cladding for rugged visual protection, and a slippery 0.29 drag coefficient to help efficiency and range.

Inside, the Compass emphasizes durability and practicality for active owners. Seats use a polyurethane-coated fabric that Jeep says is twice as durable as regular cloth and easier to clean. Rear seatbacks have an anti-scratch finish for pet owners, and heavy-duty rubber floor mats are standard — small touches that signal Jeep’s intent to blend lifestyle utility with electrified tech.

Electrification: STLA Medium and battery options

The Compass range now spans e-Hybrid plug-in, the flagship 4xe, and a long-range full-electric (BEV) variant. The BEV Long-Range model packs a 96.3 kWh lithium-ion battery, delivering up to 674 km WLTP (about 419 miles) on a single charge and supporting fast charging from 20% to 80% in roughly 27 minutes. Its electric drive motor produces 170 kW (231 PS / 229 hp).

But the Compass 4xe is the showpiece for those wanting both electrified range and traditional Jeep capability. Using two electric drive motors (157 kW front, 132 kW rear) paired with a 96.1 kWh battery, the system produces a combined 375 hp and all-wheel-drive traction, targeting a WLTP electric range of around 600 km (373 miles).

Performance and off-road credentials

Jeep hasn’t abandoned its core strengths. The 4xe receives a modest 10 mm suspension lift, modular bumpers, and improved underbody clearance to boost off-road performance. Claimed capability highlights include a 28° approach angle, 17° breakover, 31° departure, up to 480 mm water fording depth, and the ability to climb 20% slopes without front-axle traction—useful figures for buyers who want genuine capability from an electrified compact SUV.

Standard on all Compass models are Level 2 driver assistance features and Jeep’s Selec-Terrain traction management system, ensuring both highway convenience and selectable off-road modes.

Trim levels and on-sale details

The 4xe is available to order now across Europe in two primary trims:

• Upland: Practical kit including hill descent control (HDC), 19-inch wheels with M+S tires, a rear tow hook, front fog lights, roof rails, and a tan interior theme.
• Overland: A more premium look with 19-inch diamond-cut alloys, a backlit seven-slot grille with matrix LED headlights, matte black front fascia, privacy glass, and ultra-robust upholstery.

Both trims are positioned to appeal to different buyer priorities — Upland for practical adventurers and Overland for buyers seeking a more premium, tech-rich experience.

Market context and conclusion

The new Compass slots into Jeep’s broader electrification push under Stellantis, leveraging a flexible STLA Medium architecture designed to accept multiple propulsion types. While the model will not be available in North America for now, Europe gets a full lineup aimed at customers who want electrified daily driving without sacrificing Jeep’s hallmark capability.

"Freedom has always inspired us. It’s imprinted in the essence of our iconic brand: freedom to move, to change, to choose," says Fabio Catone, Head of Jeep Brand in Enlarged Europe. "The new Compass 4xe proves electric can be uncompromisingly Jeep, providing full capability and full freedom."

Key highlights:

• 375 hp combined output (dual EDMs)
• Up to 373 miles WLTP electric range on 96.1 kWh pack*
• BEV Long-Range variant: 96.3 kWh battery, up to 419 miles WLTP
• Strong off-road geometry and up to 480 mm wading depth
• Orders open now in Europe; not offered in North America at launch

The Compass 4xe aims to bridge Jeep’s rugged heritage with modern electrification — delivering usable electric range, fast charging on the BEV, and the off-road capability many buyers still expect from the brand.

*WLTP is a Europe-specific testing standard; EPA ratings in the U.S. typically produce lower numbers that may better reflect real-world usage.
