Jeep is launching the new plug-in hybrid
Renegade and Compass 4Xe in Europe, starting with a special ‘First Edition’
that’s now detailed on a dedicated web portal. The portal is already live in
Italy and Spain, with other markets soon to follow. The new Jeep Renegade and
Compass 4Xe First Edition models will be available in two configurations; the
Urban, which is based on the S trim level, and Off-Road, which is based on the
Trailhawk trim.
Both First Edition variants will feature
the most powerful 237 HP version of the new electrified powertrain,
which combines a turbocharged 1.3-liter four-cylinder petrol unit with an
electric motor running the rear axle.
Jeep expects the pure electric range to be
up to 50 km, with the 4Xe models capable of reaching a top speed of 130 km/h in pure EV mode. 0-100 km/h comes in around 7
seconds while the top speed in hybrid mode is set at 200 km/h. The
new Jeep Renegade and Compass 4Xe First Edition models will also feature a
Wallbox charger as standard, which can fully charge the battery in 3.5 hours at
3.5 kW or 100 minutes if you upgrade it to its full 7.4 kW of charging power.
There’s also exclusive equipment such as
the 8.4-inch UConnect Nav infotainment system, a seven-inch digital display
inside the instrument cluster, Blind Spot, Rear Camera, Park Assist, Parking
sensors, Keyless go with Passive entry, electrical mirrors and other features
specific for each model.
Jeep will offer the new Renegade and
Compass 4Xe First Edition models with a 5-year warranty for the vehicle and an
8-year warranty for the battery pack.
