Jeep has finally launched the next-generation Compass, the first photos of which we saw a few days ago. This is the third generation of this model, which will be offered for the first time as an all-electric model.

The new Compass is built on the STLA Medium platform, which it shares with several models from the group such as the Peugeot 3008 and 5008, Opel Grandland, DS 7 and the new Citroen C5 Aircross. It is 15 centimeters longer than its predecessor, and buyers will, in addition to the choice of a two-tone body, also get a better equipment package that allows the car to overcome even the most difficult obstacles. The ground clearance can be increased by an additional 20 cm, which allows the car to pass through water 50 cm deep. Some of the equipment that comes with the new Compass are LED matrix lights, a large glass roof, 20-inch wheels, etc.

The interior of the car also received more technology and better equipment. In addition to the standard equipment, which can be said to be enviable, the new Compass also received a wide 16-inch multimedia system display and a 10-inch digital instrument panel, and for fans of classic buttons, there is also a red selector for selecting the transmission.

When it comes to the powertrain, the new Compass will be offered as a hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric. The European version will be available with a gasoline engine and a mild 48-volt hybrid system for a total of 145 hp, while the more powerful plug-in hybrid option will offer 195 hp. The most powerful option will be the all-electric Compass with 213 hp (single electric motor and FWD) and a 74 kWh battery that will allow a range of up to 500 kilometers (WLTP), or 315 hp (two electric motors and AWD) and a battery of unknown capacity that will provide a range of up to 650 kilometers (WLTP).
