Speak to your local Jeep retailer for up-to-date offers, drive-away prices, and any state-based EV incentives.

Petrol Jeep Compass models return up to 9.7L/100km combined, while the turbo diesel variant is more frugal at about 5.1L/100km. The plug-in hybrid Jeep Compass 4xe is officially rated at just 2.1–2.4L/100km with regular charging, making it the most economical for short trips. Keep in mind real world fuel use for petrol and diesel can be higher depending on driving style and city traffic. Regular charging is key for getting the most out of PHEVs.

The Jeep Compass 4xe can drive up to 47 kilometres on battery alone—perfect for commutes, errands, or school drop-offs. Most reviewers found real-world electric-only range sits between 40 and 45 km under normal city driving. Once the battery is depleted, the 4xe operates in hybrid mode using petrol and electric power together. Regular overnight charging at home makes the most of its EV potential.

Charging the Jeep Compass 4xe with a standard 7kW home EV takes less than three hours from empty to full. There is currently no public DC fast charging option, so most owners rely on at-home or office charging. A household power point is slower, but still practical if you have time between trips. EVes are strongly recommended for plug-in buyers to fully benefit from EV-only range.

Australian Jeep Compass buyers can select a 1.5L turbo petrol (MHEV), 2.4L naturally aspirated petrol, 2.0L turbo diesel (Trailhawk), or a plug-in hybrid (4xe) with a 1.3L turbo petrol and electric motor. AWD and FWD are both offered, with specific engine/trim combinations varying by badge. The Trailhawk is diesel AWD and tuned for adventure, while PHEV models deliver city efficiency and AWD confidence.

The Jeep Compass comes in both FWD and AWD depending on the trim and engine. Night Eagle and Limited are generally FWD, while S-Limited, Trailhawk, and 4xe plug-in are AWD and best for snow, sand, or dirt roads. Trailhawk and 4xe models also get extra off-road kit like hill descent and skid plates. "Jeep Compass AWD" is a common research query for regional or adventurous buyers.

Most Jeep Compass variants offer about 438 litres of boot space (with seats up), enough for weekly groceries or prams, and up to 1,251L when the seats are folded. Plug-in hybrid and diesel variants may have slightly less space due to battery or AWD packaging. High opening and split rear seats make it easy to load gear. The Jeep Compass’s extra ground clearance and tall doors also boost usability.

All new Jeep Compass models in Australia run Uconnect 5 on a crisp 10.1-inch screen, with fast wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, voice recognition, and built-in navigation (Limited and above). The dash is minimalist and all major controls are easy to access. Advanced driver assistance systems, traffic sign recognition, and 360° cameras are standard or available on higher trims. Owners rate tech and visibility as standouts in this segment.

Jeep Compass comes standard with AEB, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and up to seven airbags. Premium trims add extra camera views, traffic sign alerts, lane-centring, and auto parking assistance. ANCAP rates the Jeep Compass five stars for crash protection and safety assist. The car is trusted by parents and commuters alike for everyday protection.

Yes! The Jeep Compass 4xe PHEV and e-Hybrid MHEV are available, blending a petrol engine with electric support for lower emissions and improved efficiency. The e-Hybrid is ideal for city buyers needing a conventional driving experience, while the 4xe allows real EV-only trips around town. Both versions claim significant fuel savings over petrol or diesel. For more, search "Jeep Compass hybrid Australia" and "4xe price" at your local dealer.

The Jeep Compass Trailhawk is designed for off-road fans: it includes all-terrain tyres, off-road suspension, diesel AWD, hill descent, and extra body protection. On-road comfort is good, but Trailhawk shines on backroads, gravel, and camping trips. Boot space and tech are similar to Limited/S-Limited, but Trailhawk rides higher and has bolder exterior styling. The Trailhawk continues to be a popular choice for adventure buyers.

The Jeep Compass can tow up to 1,250kg (braked), though towing ratings vary slightly by powertrain (petrol, diesel, or PHEV). Trailhawk and diesel models are best for regular towing, while hybrids are more suited to lighter trailer use due to battery placement and weight. Always use a certified tow bar and verify the max allowed by VIN. The towing limit is adequate for most city trailers, jet skis, or small caravans.

No, all Australian Jeep Compass models are five-seaters. The larger Jeep Grand Cherokee L is the recommended option for families needing seven seats. The Compass’s compact size, upright driving position, and wide-opening doors still make it practical for families with two or three kids. Some buyers cross-shop “Jeep Compass 7 seater” but will need to shop up the Jeep range.

Newer Jeep Compass versions are more reliable than earlier models, though some prior petrol and diesel versions faced software and electronics gremlins. Servicing is annual and Jeep offers a five-year/100,000 km warranty and capped price plans. Occasional reports of infotainment bugs and transmission quirks appear in reviews. OEM parts and improved service support have boosted owner confidence in recent years.

The Night Eagle is entry-level with black accents and tech essentials, the S-Limited adds AWD, premium audio, sunroof, and extra safety. Trailhawk is diesel AWD, with off-road suspension, all-terrain tyres, and unique exterior touches. All use the same basic platform, but features, price, and visual styling step up with each trim. “Jeep Compass trim levels” is a key research point for new buyers.

The Jeep Compass 4xe plug-in hybrid can be charged from solar with a EV charger. Charging during daylight can make daily EV commutes almost free for solar households. Many plug-in buyers use a timer to schedule overnight or solar-only fill-ups. Non-plug-in models do not plug in but still benefit from low home energy costs for preconditioning and accessories.

Jeep Compass resale is improving, especially for diesel, high-trim, and recent plug-in hybrid models with low mileage and full service history. Servicing and warranty costs are mid-range for the class—neither a bargain nor a burden. Insurance can be high for young drivers or sporty/Trailhawk trims. Well-kept models with recent tech upgrades hold their value best.

Australian-spec Jeep Compass is built in Europe to global standards, owned by Stellantis (formerly Fiat Chrysler). “Who makes Jeep Compass” is often searched by buyers looking for long-term support and aftersales security. The worldwide dealer/service network makes ongoing ownership easier wherever you relocate. Local reviews note the best build quality in recent generations.

Jeep Compass offers a comfortable driving position, advanced driver assists, and adaptive cruise for days on the highway, but the plug-in hybrid’s battery range limits EV-only travel to shorter trips. Petrol and diesel models have solid range between fills. AWD and Trailhawk features boost confidence on country gravel roads. Families appreciate the ride comfort, tech, and safety when travelling far afield.

Local Jeep Compass buyers can add roof racks, bull bars, tow bars, seat covers, rubber floor mats, cargo organisers, and all-weather protection from both OEM and dealer accessory catalogues. Tech upgrades, including dash cams and phone integration, can be added post-delivery. The Night Eagle and S-Limited often get visual enhancements, while Trailhawk and PHEV buyers choose protection and charging upgrades. Customisation is easy and enhances daily usability.
