In addition to the various safety features such as lane assist and adaptive cruise control, the new Compass 4xe comes with plenty of other smart safety features.

Features such as Traffic Sign Recognition enable the car to read and scan signs and relay the information to you on the digital instrument cluster. There is also an intelligent speed assist, which enables the car to slow down to the legal speed limit without intervention from the driver. The Jeep Compass 4xe Plug-in Hybrid is equipped with Driver Drowsy Detection, a technology that monitors the driver's attention level, comparing the current state with that of the last 7 minutes. If your attention falls below the minimum level, a warning light comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal, prompting the driver to take a break. With technological safety features such as these, you can have confidence that every journey will be as safe as possible.
The Hybrid Jeep Compass 4xe features also features a system called e-Coasting. This piece of technology allows for the battery to be charged whilst travelling on your journey. This innovative technology optimises any wasted energy and negative engine torque when braking, which then feeds electrical power back into the battery to increase your range.
The Compass 4xe Plug-in Hybrid combines an internal combustion engine with an electric motor, giving you all the driving thrills of a Jeep in a package which is more environmentally friendly. The 1.3L Turbo 4-cylinder petrol engine combined with the 44kW electric motor produces a punchy 240bhp with a 0-60mph time in 7.3 seconds. There is no mistaking that the 4xe Plug-in Hybrid offers serious performance for a compact crossover. The electric motor also enables you to travel up to 30 miles on electrical power alone, therefore producing zero emissions whilst supplying a smooth and quiet ride.
The 4xe Hybrid comes with a 6-speed automatic gearbox only. This transmission guarantees great levels of responsiveness and faster acceleration. Not only is this new automatic gearbox smooth and pleasant around town, it is also great for any off-road journeys that you and your Jeep will take.
The car also comes with three distinct driving modes, designed to suit any journey type:
Hybrid - Uses both the combustion engine and electric motor to give peak levels of power and range.
Electric - Uses only the electric motor, reducing CO2 emissions to zero.
E-Save - Maintains the charge level of the battery increasing the effectiveness of autonomous charging systems.
