The All-New 2025 Jeep Compass: Redefining SUV Standards
Get ready for a revolution! Jeep has unveiled the all-new 2025 Compass, a game-changer in the competitive SUV market. This isn't just a refresh; it's a complete reimagining of a beloved model that's sold over 2.5 million units globally since 2006. With advanced electrification options, a modern design, and enhanced performance, the 2025 Compass aims to seize market leadership.
A New Era for the Jeep Compass
Manufactured at the Stellantis Melfi plant in Italy – a key hub for their electrification strategy – the new Compass is built on the STLA Medium platform. This platform, shared with other popular models like the Peugeot 3008 and Opel Grandland, is designed for flexibility, supporting a range of powertrains.
- Size Matters: The 2025 Compass has grown, measuring 4.54 meters in length (14 centimeters longer than its predecessor), with a 2.77-meter wheelbase. This translates to a more spacious and comfortable interior.
- Iconic Design: While significantly updated, the Compass retains its classic Jeep aesthetic. The signature seven-slot grille is prominent, complemented by squared, vertical lines.
Powertrain Options: Electric, Hybrid, and More
Jeep offers diverse powertrain choices to cater to various preferences:
- Mild Hybrid (145 hp): A 1.2-liter turbocharged engine paired with a 29 hp electric motor, offering an estimated 907-kilometer range. Front-wheel drive only.
- Plug-in Hybrid (195 hp): Combining a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with a 19 kWh battery, this option delivers 770 kilometers of total range, including 83 kilometers in electric-only mode.
- Fully Electric (210-375 hp): Three all-electric versions are available, boasting impressive ranges. The top-of-the-line model, with up to 650 kilometers on a single charge, is the only all-wheel-drive option, featuring a rear motor for enhanced off-road capability.
Technology and Interior
Step inside, and you'll find a modern and tech-savvy cabin:
- 16-inch Touchscreen: The centerpiece is a large, user-friendly infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.
- Digital Instrument Cluster: A 10-inch digital instrument cluster provides clear and customizable driver information.
- Enhanced Space: The increased dimensions translate to more passenger space and an expanded 550-liter trunk.
- Safety First: Level 2 autonomous driving, adaptive cruise control, and multiple cameras enhance safety and driver assistance.
Off-Road Prowess
The Jeep Compass hasn't forgotten its roots. It boasts impressive off-road capabilities:
- Ground Clearance: Up to 20 centimeters.
- Approach/Departure Angles: Varying depending on the model, with the all-wheel-drive version achieving optimized angles for superior off-road performance.
- Water Wading Depth: Up to 48 centimeters for the all-wheel-drive version.
Pricing and Availability
Pricing starts at under €40,000 for the base mild-hybrid model. The First Edition, featuring e-Hybrid and fully electric variants, is priced higher. The top-end electric models are expected to exceed €50,000.
