Jeep® continues to broaden the appeal of its compact SUV by quietly adding a new plug-in hybrid (PHEV) option to the European Jeep Compass (J4U) lineup. Without a formal press release, the brand has introduced a new e-HYBRID Plug-In variant directly through its online configurator, giving buyers another electrified choice alongside the mild-hybrid and fully electric Compass models already on sale.

The PHEV needs the rear e-axle from the EV. In one of these threads it was stated our Compass will have an ICE with a mechanical AWD system.
 
I really like the Compass and think a Gas version is needed as well as a pure hybrid and electric version to really make this Jeep a significant seller.
Even though I am an electric skeptic, I believe with more development in vehicles this size it will find more customers eventually. I also believe the hybrids will out sell the electrics and gas in the future. Battery safety is the most important issue, then range and longevity. Still not there yet.

Rather have the 1.3 and e-axle.... I am a fan of that system.

The decision to use the PSA engine family for North America was made by the previous management regime and the tooling is installed in Dundee, MI. It would have solved a lot of problems for Fiat if the GSE engine family was produced here due to the tariff situation. The PSA engines don't fit in the 500, even the 1.2 three cylinder unit.

The e-axle in the Tonale/Hornet PHEV models is over 10 years old and the supplier was bought out by AAM. There are better e-axles available.
 
I don't trust the PSA unit yet given it fathers durability history...... Bare minimum the Cherokee and Compass need a E-axle and I would like battery big enough to justify a plug.

But who I am I kidding... Not in the market for either JGC, New Dodge SUV, or Charger will be my next vehicle.
 
I think hybrid systems are a smart idea for most vehicles moving forward. At least having certain models of vehicles as hybrids while others are full ICE. It could be a great way to balance out things. just my thoughts.
 
This was announced last week. I hope somebody in Auburn Hills is paying attention. ZF is a supplier and Leap is under the corporate umbrella. This is what the Charger Daytona and Wagoneer S need. BTW, the e-motor in this ZF unit is 200 Kw, that's 268hp.

A perfect car for me would be the Charger with ZF 225hp mated to the Hurricane 4 with battery about the size of 4xE to get about 35 to 40 gas free miles.
