375-hp Jeep Compass 4xe stars in third episode of Capability Stories

The third episode of the Jeep Capability Stories focuses on the sporty attitude of the new, fully electric Jeep Compass 4xe. Filmed in Sweden in winter, it shows the SUV on snowy roads and on the ring track at the Arjeplog testing facility, located a few kilometers from the Arctic Circle. Jeep says road holding and performance are boosted by the 4xe all-wheel drive technology and the 375-hp electric powertrain, with the Jeep Selec-Terrain selector in Sport mode further improving response, grip and handling. Episode 3 is available online on all European Jeep websites and on YouTube and Instagram channels, and the 375-hp Compass 4xe is open for orders across Europe.

To control traction on each axle, the 4xe technology uses two separate e-Motors, delivering 157 kW at the front and 132 kW at the rear. An ultra-precise speed controller enables optimal acceleration, deceleration and torque distribution, and can detect and manage wheel slip in real time, adjust torque to dynamic weight and damp driveline oscillation while supporting ABS and ESP. The Jeep-exclusive rear electric motor delivers 232 Nm of base torque, which heavy-duty 14:1 rear reduction gear multiplies to 3,100 Nm at the rear wheels; the front EMD produces 345 Nm. On both axles that torque is available from 0 km/h, and a 96.1 kW battery gives the Compass 4xe up to 606 km of WLTP range.

SPORT mode enhances responsiveness with 100% of peak power, overboost and sport-tuned steering calibration. Level 2 advanced driver-assistance systems remain fully active, the all-wheel-drive system is permanently engaged up to 140 kph with rear-biased torque distribution, and ESP and traction control are tuned for performance. Jeep says that at full power the Compass 4xe offers sports-car acceleration while keeping road behaviour safe and fully manageable.
