One note. Battery capacity is 11.4 kWh.
TWO POWERS, OTHERWISE ABUNDANT -
Jeep Renegade PHEV and
Compass PHEVare identical in the hybrid system, which provides two versions of 190 or 240 hp combined. The difference lies in the 4-cylinder 1.3 turbo, which has 130 and 179 horses respectively and which becomes the main engine when the batteries are "dry", when you want to save the charge or exceed 130 km / h. Traction is integral, just because the 1.3 transfers the bike to the front wheels (through a six-speed automatic transmission), while the electric motor (with about 60 horsepower) does the same with the rear ones. The distribution of power is electronically managed based on grip, and the car's response can be varied by choosing the driving modes from the central knob, as in petrol-only models. But in addition there is the Sport mode, because the performance is expected to be remarkable: for 240 hp versions, the declared '0-100' would take about 7 seconds. And there are three small keys to choose between hybrid and electric only, or to recharge the battery while you're on the road (using the generator moved from 1.3). Another button, in the tunnel, allows you to vary the recovery of energy during slowing down (and, therefore, the engine brake) on three different levels.
OFF ROAD? NO PROBLEM - The
Jeep Renegade PHEV and
Compass PHEV accumulator, lithium-ion, is placed under the central tunnel and the sofa, so that the habitability remains unchanged and the trunk loses only fifteen liters (due to the presence of electronic control elements, but do not let the background) . Produced by LG, the battery pack is cooled by the same engine coolant, protected by lowered parasol plates and waterproofed so as to easily overcome the fords; It has a capacity of about 10 kWh and can be recharged in just over 3 hours by connecting to a 3.5 kW socket and in a couple of hours if the supplied current reaches 7 kW (the maximum expected). The off-road operation is interesting, where the designers guarantee that these hybrids behave like and better than the "normal" versions: when an "off road" driving mode is selected, the petrol engine supplies power to the wheels and at the same time activates the current generator to which it is connected, so as to keep the rear electric unit powered to prevent the long climbs; the state of charge, then, never falls below a certain limit, and this reserve of energy is exploited if there is an obstacle so difficult to require all the horses of both the front and rear engines. These off-road skills are evidenced by the fact that the outfits are the same as the other Renegade and Compass, including the "specialist" Trailhawk. rear electric unit to be able to face even the long climbs without falling; the state of charge, then, never falls below a certain limit, and this reserve of energy is exploited if there is an obstacle so difficult to require all the horses of both the front and rear engines.

Al 1.3 turbo a benzina si affianca un motore elettrico al retrotreno, che rende l'auto 4x4, taglia i consumi e regala 50 km di autonomia a zero emissioni.
