What Happened
Jeep has launched a four-episode web mini-series called 'Capability Stories,' with the first episode titled 'No Ground Off Limits' now available on European Jeep websites and social channels. The series features the new Jeep Compass 4xe, a full-electric SUV with 375 horsepower and all-wheel drive, tackling challenging terrains to demonstrate its off-road prowess. The first episode was filmed on the sand dunes of Riola Sardo and Arbus in Sardinia, Italy, an area set up for off-road driving.
The Compass 4xe is the most powerful version of the Compass lineup, featuring a dual-motor electric powertrain that delivers up to 3,100 Nm of torque at the rear wheels via a 14:1 reductor. It offers class-leading off-road geometry: a 28° approach angle, 17° breakover angle, 31° departure angle, and up to 480 mm water-fording depth, along with a 10 mm higher ride height than other Compass models.
The Compass 4xe is equipped with Jeep's Selec-Terrain system, offering five driving modes: Auto, Sport, Sand & Mud, Snow, and 4x4 Lock. The Sand & Mud mode, featured in the first episode, maximizes grip by adjusting steering, delivering full power with overboost, and applying terrain-specific calibrations for torque and traction control. A closed-loop algorithm precisely controls slip on each axle to prevent excessive wheel spin.
“Seeing is believing. Only real footage can showcase the incredible roadholding, handling, and versatility of the new Jeep Compass 4xe. Our brand was born to overcome obstacles – offroad, and in everyday life – and these 'Capability Stories' demonstrate how we always stick to our roots. We loved these images so much, we decided to share them with our community – and beyond. Enjoy!”
Why this matters
The series aims to build consumer confidence in the electric SUV's off-road performance, as the Compass 4xe, with 375 hp and advanced Selec-Terrain modes, is now open for orders across Europe. Potential buyers can see real-world capabilities before purchasing.
