Brick Meets Breeze: The New Jeep Compass Glides into the Future

Jeep, the icon of grit and underbrush, has decided that even the burliest off-roader can evolve. The future is streamlined, and the new Compass proves that even a box can fly. This next-generation model, built from scratch with electrification in mind, flips the bird to anyone still talking compromises: yes, it has edges—but the drag coefficient is still under 0.29.

This Compass feels like Jeep’s answer to Tesla, except it still looks like a Jeep, not a half-rinsed bar of soap. Engineers managed to make this squared-off beast ten percent sleeker without stripping away its classic charm. Everything’s in play: a fully smooth underbody, active grille shutters, sharpened rear edges, aerodynamic wheels, and even a roof spoiler fit for a Nürburgring hot lap.

The all-electric version offers up to 650 kilometers of range. And if you’re still partial to a puff of CO₂, there’s a hybrid or plug-in hybrid for that.

Less drag means fewer charges, fewer fuel stops, fewer worries—and more of what Jeep promises: freedom.
