Question 1

How far can the Jeep Compass 4xe drive on electric power alone?

Accepted Answer

Jeep claims 47km of pure electric range on the WLTP cycle from the 11.4kWh battery. Real-world range will vary with terrain, weather and driving style.

Question 2

How is the Compass 4xe a plug-in AWD without a driveshaft?

Accepted Answer

The petrol 1.3-litre turbo drives the front axle while a 44kW electric motor drives the rear axle independently. The electronics co-ordinate both so it behaves as an on-demand AWD.

Question 3

How fast does the Compass 4xe charge?

Accepted Answer

The 7.4kW onboard AC charger fills the battery in roughly 1.6 hours from a 7kW wallbox, or about 4 hours from a standard 10A wall socket. There's no DC fast charging.

Question 4

How quick is the Compass 4xe to 100km/h?

Accepted Answer

0-100km/h takes 7.3 seconds thanks to the combined 132kW petrol output plus the rear electric motor, with a top speed of 200km/h.

Question 5

What's the fuel use and CO2 rating on the Compass 4xe?

Accepted Answer

Jeep quotes 2.1L/100km combined and 47g/km CO2 on the WLTP test, though those numbers assume the battery is kept charged. With a depleted battery it consumes more like a regular 1.3-litre turbo small SUV.

Question 6

What's the battery warranty?

Accepted Answer

The high-voltage PHEV battery is covered by an 8-year/160,000km warranty, on top of the standard 5-year/100,000km vehicle warranty.
