The electric Jeep Compass can now go almost 700 km between charges
Range anxiety is not really a Jeep problem any more
Jeep's electric SUV just got a lot more usable. The brand has opened orders for a new Compass Full Electric Long Range with up to 674 km of range, alongside a 375 hp 4xe plug-in hybrid, broadening a line-up Jeep proudly describes as offering freedom of choice. For a brand once synonymous with thirsty off-roaders, a near-700 km electric Compass is a striking statement.
The 674 km Long Range is the headline
The new Compass Full Electric Long Range pairs a 231 hp electric motor with a usable 96.3 kWh battery for a claimed range of up to 674 km. That is a genuinely competitive figure in the family-SUV class, and it can fast-charge from 20 to 80 percent in 27 minutes. It starts at €47,495 in ALTITUDE trim, rising to €50,495 for the top SUMMIT version. It slots in above the existing Full Electric Standard, which offers 213 hp and around 500 km.
The 4xe wants to actually go off-road
For buyers who want range plus genuine capability, there is the new Compass 4xe plug-in hybrid. It uses a dual-motor setup for 375 hp and can send up to 3,100 Nm to the rear wheels, with proper off-road credentials: a 28-degree approach angle, 31-degree departure angle and 480 mm of water-fording depth. It charges 20 to 80 percent in the same 27 minutes and starts at €50,495 in UPLAND trim, rising to €53,495 for OVERLAND. Crucially, it keeps the rugged ability that the Jeep badge is supposed to stand for.
One platform, many choices
Both cars sit on the STLA Medium platform and gain Jeep's 360-degree protection, modular black bumpers and the illuminated seven-slot grille, now standard across the range. With these two additions, the Compass line-up now spans a 145 hp e-Hybrid, a 225 hp e-Hybrid plug-in, the 213 hp Full Electric Standard, the new 231 hp Full Electric Long Range and the 375 hp 4xe. An eight-year Jeep Care warranty covering up to 160,000 km is included with authorised servicing.
AutoNext Take
Jeep's multi-energy approach is exactly the kind of pragmatism this market rewards. Not everyone is ready to go fully electric, so offering the same handsome Compass with everything from a mild hybrid to a 674 km EV to a genuinely capable plug-in hybrid lets buyers pick what fits their life rather than what an emissions target dictates. The Long Range figure is the real win: 674 km kills the range-anxiety argument stone dead in this class. If the real-world numbers hold up, this is one of the more quietly sensible electric family SUVs you can buy.
For more long-range EVs, see the seven-seat Skoda Peaq and its 640 km range, and the BMW iX5 with its huge 141 kWh battery. Plug-in hybrids are in the spotlight too, as the EU prepares tariffs on Chinese PHEVs.
