Stellantis has officially announced an important update for its medium SUV, the Jeep Compass. The top-of-the-line version The model is now available in the brand’s dealership network across the country.
The introduction of dual-fuel technology in the Hurricane propellant was a development led by the Stellantis engineering team in the América of the Sul, aiming to meet a specific demand in the Brazilian market. With this change, the Compass Blackhawk maintains its sporting performance, such as acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.3 seconds, combining performance with the versatility of ethanol.
The suggested price for the new version is R$274,290, placing the model at the top of the Compass portfolio. The vehicle continues to offer a robust package of technology, safety and comfort equipment, in addition to on-demand 4×4 traction, which reinforces its versatility credentials for different types of terrain and conditions of use.
Technical adaptations of the Hurricane flex propellant
To ensure that the 2.0 Hurricane engine operated with the same efficiency and power using both gasoline and ethanol, the Stellantis engineering implemented a series of technical modifications. The project included a new air intake system, fine adjustments to the turbocharger to deal with different fuel burning characteristics and the adoption of more robust internal components. Entre The reinforced parts are the fuel pumps, spark plugs and injectors, which were designed to withstand the greater flow rate and more corrosive nature of ethanol. Além In addition, the nine-speed automatic transmission underwent an electronic recalibration. Essa optimization of the transmission software was crucial to ensure that gear changes remained smooth and precise, making the most of the engine’s torque curve, regardless of the fuel used, resulting in a linear power delivery identical to that of the version powered exclusively by gasoline.
Preserved performance and handling
Performance remains one of the main attractions of the Jeep Compass Blackhawk. The trademark of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds was maintained in the new flex configuration, ensuring that the SUV continues to be one of the fastest in its category. On-demand 4×4 traction, combined with the Jeep Active Drive Low system, ensures superior grip in a variety of road conditions, from wet asphalt to light dirt roads.
This mechanical combination provides agile and safe driving in urban environments, while offering the confidence necessary for off-road adventures. The nine-speed gearbox works harmoniously with the engine, making quick and intelligent changes that contribute to the feeling of sportiness and total control of the vehicle.
Fuel consumption figures
According to official data from the Programa Brasileiro of Etiquetagem Veicular (PBEV), the fuel consumption of the Compass Blackhawk with the Hurricane flex engine was measured for both fuels. Quando fueled with ethanol, the SUV records an average of 6 km/l in urban cycle and 7.8 km/l on highway routes.
Using gasoline, energy efficiency figures improve significantly. The model achieves 8.5 km/l in the city and reaches 11 km/l on the highway. Esses values position the Blackhawk competitively within the high-power medium SUV segment, offering a balance between performance and consumption.
Complete package of standard equipment
The Blackhawk version stands out for offering an extensive list of comfort and technology equipment. The model comes standard with an electric panoramic sunroof, 19-inch alloy wheels with an exclusive design and a fully LED optical package, which includes automatic headlight switching and high beam adjustment.
Inside, the highlight is the 10.25-inch fully digital instrument panel and the multimedia center with a 10.1-inch screen, which offers wireless connectivity for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Outros items that reinforce sophistication are the electronic parking brake, the face key with push-button start and the trunk with electric opening and closing.
The interior finish also receives special attention, with seats covered in premium material that feature the “Blackhawk” logo embroidered on the front backrests. Esses features consolidate the SUV’s positioning as a refined and complete option in its category, justifying its position as the most equipped version of the Compass line.
Advanced active safety systems
The Jeep Compass Blackhawk maintains the driver assistance technology package (ADAS) as one of its main safety differentiators. The system includes adaptive cruise control (ACC) with function Stop&Go, which adjusts the speed and distance in relation to the vehicle in front, being able to stop and resume acceleration in traffic jams.
Automatic emergency braking with detection of pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists is another key feature, capable of intervening to avoid or mitigate frontal collisions. Esse system acts autonomously if the driver does not react to an imminent danger.
The safety suite is complemented by blind spot monitoring, which alerts you to the presence of vehicles in areas that are difficult to see, and the lane keeping assistant, which corrects the steering wheel trajectory if the car leaves the road unintentionally.
These technologies work together to provide safer and calmer driving, especially on long journeys or in heavy traffic in large cities, raising the standard of active protection offered by the vehicle.
Maintained external visual identity
The exterior design of the Blackhawk version remains unchanged, maintaining the visual identity that consolidated it in the market. The 19-inch wheels with a blacked-out finish, combined with various glossy black details on the body, such as emblems and moldings, give the SUV a more aggressive and sporty appearance.
The full LED headlights and the traditional seven-slit front grille preserve the robust DNA of the Jeep brand. In terms of dimensions, the Compass measures 4.40 meters long, 1.81 meters wide and 1.64 meters high, with a wheelbase of 2.63 meters, which guarantees good stability and internal space. The trunk capacity is 410 liters.
Refinement in the cabin
The interior of the Compass Blackhawk continues to be one of its strong points, with a premium finish that uses high-quality materials and soft-touch surfaces. The seats, in addition to the version’s exclusive embroidery, offer excellent ergonomics and comfort for all occupants. The interior space accommodates five adults comfortably, benefiting from the good wheelbase that provides generous space for legs and head, both in the front and in the rear seat. Attention to detail is evident throughout the cabin, from the ambient lighting to the precise assembly of components, creating a sophisticated and welcoming atmosphere.
