Jeep Offers a Hybrid… Rarely Chosen for the Compass
- Published on 11/01/2026 16:04
The Jeep Compass is enhanced with a rechargeable e-Hybrid Plug-in version aimed at true technology fans.
Jeep expands its Compass lineup with the new Compass e-Hybrid Plug-in, featuring a rechargeable engine with 225 horsepower. This version adds to the e-Hybrid and 100% electric models, providing customers with an additional option that combines a gasoline engine with an electric motor.
Since its launch in 2006, the Compass has established itself as a central model for Jeep, with over 2.5 million units sold worldwide. The plug-in hybrid version illustrates the manufacturer’s commitment to combining its iconic off-road capabilities with more environmentally friendly technologies.
The 225 hp engine allows for an interesting compromise between performance and consumption: up to 90 km of range in mixed cycle and over 100 km in the city in 100% electric mode, with a total range that can reach 983 km. It also integrates the Selec-Terrain system, adjusting the vehicle’s behavior according to conditions – snow, mud, sand – with a dedicated electric mode for urban use.
For whom?
Despite these qualities, the Compass e-Hybrid Plug-in is not necessarily aimed at becoming a best-seller. In the European market, plug-in hybrid vehicles are often perceived as expensive and complex to use on a daily basis, which limits their commercial appeal. Drivers continue to largely prefer hybrid or 100% electric versions, which are simpler to use and generally better subsidized.
Orders for this version are open, but it is likely that its share of total sales for the Compass lineup will remain modest. Nevertheless, the model illustrates Jeep’s commitment to experimenting with electrification while maintaining its off-road identity, even under the hood.
