Jeep Compass 4xe: experience the driving of the plug-in hybrid

More than seventy years have passed since Jeep began production of its first off-roader: the Willys Overland . Despite the constant challenges of the automotive industry, the firm has tried to remain faithful to the adventurous philosophy that characterizes its product. The electrification of the four-wheel fleet represents an unparalleled challenge for all manufacturers, but it is particularly important for those with a smaller and more specialized range. The Italian brand does not understand defeats and has put the batteries to update its portfolio, with the sole objective of standing up to the new era of commitment without losing its essence. It does so with the presentation of the plug-in hybrid variants of the Jeep Compass and Renegade , models that are very different from each other but that show that being respectful with the environment is not at odds with the off-road character.

The Compass 4xe , the logo that will identify them as plug-in versions, uses a hybrid system that gives it the Zero sticker from the DGT. With this badge you will be able to circulate without problem, and not only along the most tricky roads of the sierra, but also through the streets of Madrid and Barcelona. Jeep uses the combination of a new 1.3 GSE gasoline engine , with outputs of 130 and 180 hp , together with a small electric drive of 44 kW (60 hp). In this way, the Jeep Compass 4xe will be able to travel up to 50 kilometers in 100% electric mode, without emitting a single gram of CO2.

If you are looking for an off-road vehicle with true off-road capabilities, but you also need a vehicle capable of handling the challenges of daily traffic, the Jeep PHEV range may be your best alternative . The Compass 4xe is already in the brand’s dealerships with prices starting at 43,200 euros for the access model . The commercial offer is structured in three trim levels: Limited, Trailhawk and S. During its presentation around the Jarama circuit we were able to put all its facets to the test, from the most open-sided driving to fast-track driving. Now we will tell you. We also took the opportunity to learn about the facelift of the traditional combustion model, with the arrival of a 1.3 Turbo GSE 150 hp model .
