New Jeep Compass with Advanced Technology and Hybrid Options

Explore the new Jeep Compass as presented by Jeep, featuring advanced technology, hybrid and electric options, updated design and detailed performance insights.

The new generation of the Jeep Compass arrives on the European market as a model aiming to reshape expectations in the compact SUV segment. It preserves the brand’s recognizable design while introducing significantly more advanced technology, powertrain variety, and cabin comfort. Early media drives in Barcelona have already given journalists a first look at how deeply the model has evolved.

The Compass now sits on the STLA Medium architecture and is produced in Italy at the Melfi plant, where full-scale manufacturing began in autumn 2025. The vehicle stretches to 4.55 metres in length and offers one of the segment’s more spacious cargo areas, reaching up to 550 litres. Front storage adds another 34 litres, while the cabin has been redesigned with a focus on ergonomics. A 10.25-inch digital cluster and a 16-inch infotainment display anchor the updated interior, supported by improved noise insulation, including thicker rear glass.

The powertrain lineup is broader and more technologically diverse. Confirmed versions include the 145-hp e-Hybrid, the 195-hp plug-in hybrid, and a fully electric model. The BEV variant, equipped with a 74-kWh battery, delivers 213 hp and a claimed range of up to 500 kilometres, while German data sources also cite practical estimates closer to 370 kilometres. A dual-motor all-wheel-drive version with up to 375 hp is expected to follow. Charging performance is modern as well: DC fast charging up to 160 kW enables a 10–80 percent recharge in around 36 minutes.

The suspension has been reworked to balance stable highway handling with assured performance off the pavement. A ground clearance of 200 mm and repositioned radar modules reinforce the model’s capability. Steering calibration has been refined, and the ESP and transmission settings vary according to the selected drive mode.

The Selec-Terrain system remains one of the Compass’s defining features. It adjusts mechanical behaviour rather than just interface visuals, offering Auto, Sport, Snow, and Sand/Mud settings, with the plug-in hybrid adding Electric mode. Each modifies power distribution, steering response, and stability control behaviour.

Digital services represent another major step. The Connect ONE and Connect PLUS packages offer remote vehicle management, a digital key, navigation with charging recommendations, and the integration of ChatGPT into the infotainment system. Electric versions support scheduled charging and preconditioning through the Jeep 2.0 app.

The new Compass also introduces an upgraded suite of driver assistance systems, with Level 2 autonomy included as standard. Predictive Adaptive Cruise Control can adapt to road profiles and upcoming curves, while Semi-automated Lane Change assists with gentle lane shifts at speeds up to 180 km/h.

Pricing adds another layer of market appeal. In Germany, the mild hybrid version is listed at around 40,000 euros, while the BEV version is priced between 48,000 and 50,000 euros depending on the source. Reviews note that in a competitive field that includes models such as the Volkswagen ID.4 and Skoda Enyaq, the Compass relies on a mix of practicality, digital capability, and Jeep’s characteristic off-road identity.

According to European publications, the new Compass is expected to become one of Jeep’s key models in the region, thanks to its combination of hybrid and fully electric options designed to adapt to the rapidly evolving market.
