It reassuring to see that development is continuing on schedule for much needed product that looks to be outstanding improvements with intelligent adjustments based on market and consumer realities. The three powertrain approach outlined here should be standard across all brands. Unfortunately, even by staff at this site, people that should be in the know, are still predicting the inevitability of an all electric lineup in less than a decade. Horse feathers, stop being pressured by the WOKE agenda nonsense and let the free market determine the mix going forward.
California’s wildfire tragedy is exhibit A of the absolute failure of progressive thinking that Stellantis like so many other companies bought into and now have realized are a complete failure and are moving to a market based product line. It is demanded by most everyone thus advocating that which gives buyers choices. I await the new Cherokee anticipating a gas engine option for my new Jeep.

Why not? Just Eaxle like the current.

Just asking for clarity, since the article said:

e-HYBRID – A front-wheel-drive (4×2) version will likely debut in Europe, optimized for low-speed electric-only driving in urban environments. This setup promises improved efficiency while meeting stricter emission standards. It is expected to use a turbocharged 1.6-liter I4 engine with direct injection and will be available in both South America and North America as well.

The Jeep Avenger's 4Xe uses the Punch Hybrid transaxle in front with a built in e-motor and an e-axle in the rear with a similar e-motor. The hybrid system is a 48V mild hybrid. The Avenger and its CMP platform mates use the Pure Tech 3 cylinder from the PSA side of the house.

The present day Jeep Compass and Renegade Euro hybrid models use a 1,500 cc GSE-T running a Miller cycle combustion. That engine is mated to a Magna 7-speed dual clutch hybrid transmission. According to an online article in Green Car Congress ..."Magna’s building block strategy allows for easy scalability of the DCT Eco, enabling OEMs to easily hybridize their platforms staying in the same Dual Clutch Transmission base architecture. Magna’s HDT Eco (Hybrid Drive Transmission) 48V or HV and DHD Eco (Dedicated Hybrid Drive) support everything from 48V mild hybrids up to 120 kW 400 Volt solutions." The transmission is manufactured in Eastern Europe for BMW and in Brazil for an unspecified automaker according to the article.

The Compass and Renegade using this setup are 4X2 mild hybrids. The 4Xe models use the same PHEV e-axle system as the Dodge Hornet.

I am assuming that is about the run of the mill 4x2 mild ehybrid.... I would not offer that in the USA. Trying to explain way it goes of EV mode at highway speeds would be the impossible. FORM gives them enough trouble.
 
The Punch 4Xe is also a mild hybrid system. It remains to be seen if Stellantis will go with the Punch transmission, which is intended for use in A and B segment sized vehicles attached to a small displacement engine, or do the right thing for the next Compass. My guess is they will opt for the cheap route forgetting about the CVT debacle in the older Patriot and Compass and the DDCT in the Dart.

Well DaveZ pretty sure it will, I don't think any vehicle that isn't specifically a performance, meaning is track, off-road, or Tows should have a transmission. Everything for moving people Compass, Cherokee, Van, Renegade.... should be REEV.
 
Reason I ask about AWD hybrid is I'm still wanting to replace my wife's Prius with a Compass hybrid that has a functional AWD system (unlike the useless awd that the last gen and current Prius had/have - and the new AWD Mavrick hybrid seems to struggle with too according to the TFL slip test)

PHEV doesn't really have value for our use.
