Jeep announced the aerodynamic development efforts of the new Compass. The joint approach of the European and US teams focuses on reducing air resistance while maintaining the brand's upright and angular body proportions.

The completely flattened underbody manages the air flowing under the vehicle and supports terrain protection. Active grill covers are among the solutions that regulate air flow together with cooling requirements.

The STLA Medium-based model was developed with hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric options. In the promotion, Jeep reports a range of up to 650 kilometers for electric versions; He cites aerodynamics as the engineering element that supports this goal.
