Jeep expands Compass lineup with hybrids and off‑road 4xe
Entities: Jeep Compass 4xe · Jeep · Fabio Catone · Sardinia
Overview
In July 2026 Jeep broadened the Compass range across several markets, unveiling an all‑wheel‑drive version built in Italy, the Blackhawk Flex flex‑fuel model in Brazil, the e‑Hybrid Altitude trim in Greece, the high‑output 4xe with dual electric motors, and the fully electric Compass EV that won the Automóvel Club de Portugal’s 2026 Electric Car of the Year award.
Later that month Jeep announced that the 2027 Compass will arrive in Brazil with a 48‑volt mild‑hybrid system paired with the 1.3‑litre turbo‑flex engine. The added electric motor contributes about 15.5 hp and 6.6 kg·m of torque, aiming to smooth acceleration and cut urban fuel consumption by up to 7 % while reducing CO₂ emissions roughly 8 %. The hybrid powertrain, also used on the Renegade and Commander, will be offered in Sport, Longitude and Série S trims, while the top‑of‑the‑range BlackHawk continues with its 2.0‑litre turbo‑flex engine, all‑wheel drive and nine‑speed automatic transmission.
In late July 2026 Jeep showcased a new Compass 4xe plug‑in hybrid SUV at a Capability Stories event in Sardinia, Italy. The 4xe combines two electric motors—157 kW on the front axle and 132 kW on the rear—for a combined output of 375 hp (280 kW) and up to 3,100 Nm of torque. It features increased ground clearance, steep approach (28°) and departure (31°) angles, a 480 mm water‑wading depth, and the ability to climb 20 % slopes without front‑wheel traction. Drivers can select from five terrain modes (Auto, Sport, Sand & Mud, Snow, 4WD Lock) via the Selec‑Terrain system, emphasizing Jeep’s off‑road DNA.
These developments continue Jeep’s strategy of diversifying the Compass lineup with conventional, mild‑hybrid, plug‑in hybrid and fully electric options worldwide.
