New Jeep® Compass 4xe goes to Arjeplog, Sweden, to tackle the extreme weather of the Arctic Circle. The video footage shows how the all-electric, all-wheel drive, all-terrain new Compass 4xe handles snow and slippery ground with absolute confidence.

These same features are also crucial for everyday driving. Even familiar routes can become challenging in heavy rain or on icy road surfaces: the 4xe technology manages torque distribution thanks to two separate, electronically-balanced e-Motors, delivering 157 kW / 345 Nm at the front axle and 132 kW / 232 Nm at the rear.

In addition, Jeep Selec-Terrain® in SNOW mode adjusts the vehicle's transmission, throttle, and 4x4 system settings to maximize grip and prevent tire slip. 

Representing the pinnacle of technology in the Compass line-up, the new all-electric 4xe delivers a WLTP range of up to 606 km while ensuring secure control in all road conditions.

An ultra-precise electric motor speed controller enables optimal acceleration, deceleration ​and torque distribution.​ It can detect and control wheel slip in real time​, adjust torque to dynamic load, and damp driveline oscillation​ while supporting ABS and ESP​. This improves grip and safety in adverse weather, as well as on slippery offroad trails. 

New Jeep Compass 4xe offers five driving modes: AUTO, SPORT, SAND & MUD, SNOW and 4WD LOCK. The driver can choose the most suitable mode using the Selec-Terrain switch.

Selec-Terrain is a Jeep-exclusive electronic traction management tool designed to maximize performance, capability and safety. 

The SNOW mode provides 80% of maximum power for smooth driving, with dedicated traction control and ESP calibration. The AWD system is always engaged, employing balanced and conservative slip thresholds on both axles.

Driver comment after the test: “This mode is recommended for icy and slick surfaces. The Selec-Terrain system maximizes traction based on available grip; progressive torque delivery minimizes wheelspin and allows for safe vehicle control.”
