After nine years without a full generation change, the Jeep Compass has reached Japan in completely new form. Sales started on October 7 from ¥5.2 million. The main technical change is a 145-hp 48V hybrid built around a 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbo engine, with official consumption of about 5.1 L/100 km.

According to Stellantis Japan, the engine works with a 48V electrical system and a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. Total system output is 107 kW, or 145 hp. At low speeds the vehicle can travel briefly on electric power alone. The standard version is rated at 19.6 km/L on the Japanese WLTC cycle, and the Japanese e-Hybrid is front-wheel drive.

The new-generation Compass has a 2785 mm wheelbase. Luggage capacity is 550 liters, increasing to 1560 liters with the rear seats folded. Inside are a 10.25-inch digital instrument display and a 16-inch central screen, while key functions retain physical controls.

Jeep also reworked the aerodynamics with active grille shutters, flat underbody elements, air channels and aerodynamic curtains around the wheels. Stellantis claims the best aerodynamic efficiency in Jeep history. Selec-Terrain provides Auto, Sport, Snow and Sand/Mud modes, while ground clearance is 200 mm and wading depth reaches 408 mm.

The Japanese range includes Altitude at ¥5.2 million, Summit at ¥5.7 million and Summit Style Package at ¥5.9 million. The First Edition, limited to 100 vehicles and offered in Hawaii yellow, costs ¥5.95 million.

In Europe, the new Compass family is broader and includes fully electric versions, including the all-wheel-drive 375-hp 4xe with two electric motors. The Japanese launch currently focuses on the front-wheel-drive 145-hp 48V hybrid.

The specifications therefore differ substantially by market: buyers should distinguish the Japanese e-Hybrid from the electric European Compass variants rather than treating them as one global configuration.
