The Jeep Compass SW 1.2 e-Hybrid Summit 5dr DCT is the top-tier mild hybrid variant of the heavily updated Jeep UK compact SUV. Moving onto Stellantis’ modern STLA Medium platform, this vehicle blends traditional American ruggedness with refined European underpinnings shared across other brands like Peugeot and Vauxhall.
Key Specifications & Performance
- Powertrain: 1.2-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with a 48V mild-hybrid system (0.9 kWh lithium battery and a 28 hp electric motor).
- Total Output: 145 bhp and 230 Nm of torque.
- Transmission: 6-speed Dual-Clutch Automatic (eDCT) driving the front wheels (FWD).
- Acceleration (0–60 mph): Officially 10.3 seconds, though independent real-world testing has clocked it as eager as 9.0 seconds due to immediate low-speed electric motor torque assist.
- Fuel Efficiency: An official 49.6 mpg (with real-world mixed usage averaging around 6.8 to 7.0 L/100km or ~40-41 mpg).
- Emissions: 129 g/km CO2
Dimensions & Practicality
The updated platform gives the Compass an imposing stance that is noticeably larger than its predecessor (150 mm longer and 85 mm wider), maximizing family utility:
- Boot Capacity: A spacious 550 litres with the rear seats up, expanding to a massive 1,600 litres with the 40/20/40 split rear bench folded flat.
- Cabin Space: Generous legroom and headroom, comfortably accommodating a 6-foot passenger behind a 6-foot driver.
- Ground Clearance: 200 mm, maintaining Jeep’s rugged lifestyle aesthetic and providing a 408 mm water-fording capability despite being front-wheel drive.
Premium “Summit” Trim Features
As the range-topping premium variant, the Summit spec emphasizes tech-forward luxury and enhanced driver comfort:
- Infotainment: A massive, highly responsive 16-inch central touchscreen paired alongside a 10-inch digital driver instrument cluster.
- Styling & Durability: Gloss-black 7-slot front grille panel, scratch-resistant rugged lower-body cladding, and durable yet upscale interior surfaces designed for active lifestyles.
