Following the July 2026 rollout, Jeep continued to broaden the Compass range across Europe and South America. A third-generation Compass, built at the Melfi plant in Italy on the STLA Medium platform, was launched in Europe. This includes a fully-electric Compass offering up to 375 hp from two electric motors and a 96.1 kWh battery, with a WLTP-rated range of more than 600 km. A front-wheel-drive Long-Range version provides 231 hp and up to 674 km of range. The lineup also features a 145 hp 48V e-Hybrid and a 225 hp plug-in hybrid. In September 2026, Jeep introduced the 2026 Compass e-Hybrid, signaling a shift toward urban efficiency with a 145 hp mild-hybrid powertrain designed for city driving, offering fuel consumption rates between 5 and 7 liters per 100 km. In October 2026, Jeep opened European orders for the Compass 4xe, transitioning the ‘4xe’ badge from plug-in hybrid to a fully electric powertrain. This 375 hp model utilizes two electric motors and a 96.1 kWh battery, providing a WLTP range of up to 606 km and 0-100 km/h acceleration in 4.9 seconds. The vehicle features a rear motor with a 14:1 reduction gear to multiply torque to 3,100 Nm for improved off-road capability. To showcase the model, Jeep featured the 4xe at the Rom-E 2026 event in Rome, offering public test drives.
