It is expected to be officially unveiled by the end of this year. New Jeep Compass will have an entirely new design, transition to a new platform and also get an electric version.3rd-gen Jeep Compass – Key featuresNew Jeep Compass is expected to have a sharper profile.

The front fascia and rear section will be getting entirely new styling bits. The iconic slatted grille will be seen in a new format, in line with modern design aesthetics. Changes are expected across the headlamps, LED DRLs, bumper, fog lamp housings and tail lamps.Inside spaces will also see a major refresh with the new-gen Jeep Compass. A multi-textured finish is expected for the interior skin to achieve a livelier cabin experience. Tech upgrades will include an integrated screen layout and an extended list of state-of-the-art driver assistance features.New-Gen Jeep Compass – Platform shiftUpcoming new Jeep Compass will be underpinned by the advanced STLA Medium Platform. This new platform is already in use with newer versions of Peugeot 3008 and Opel Grandland. STLA Medium will be used for various C- and D-segment Stellantis models. The platform is designed to support various body styles and powertrains including ICE, hybrid and electric.Next Gen Jeep Compass EV PlatformUnderpinned by the STLA Medium Platform, the new Jeep Compass will acquire a larger size. While exact dimensional details are not available, it is likely that the new Jeep Compass will be positioned as a mid-size SUV. The new platform can accommodate vehicle lengths from 4.3 meters to 4.9 meters. The existing Compass model is 4.4 meters in length. The new platform supports a wheelbase of 2.7 to 2.9 meters.

A higher range of 700 km can be achieved with the performance pack. The range figures are based on the WLTP standards. These specs provide an idea of the capabilities of the upcoming new Jeep Compass.Another benefit that Stellantis claims with its STLA Medium platform is best in class energy efficiency. Energy consumption is rated at 14 kWh per 100 km. Users will also benefit from fast charging, with 20% to 80% achievable in just 27 minutes.New Jeep Compass will debut first in markets such as Europe and North America. As Stellantis aims to become carbon net zero by 2038, Jeep Compass can soon become an electric-only model in select markets. But in locations such as India, Jeep Compass will continue to be available with ICE powertrain options, as long as feasible.Source More

The neo-retro theme of the bike has garnered quite an interest from buyers and aftermarket modders alike. We have covered quite a few custom jobs on Yamaha XSR range and they look very radical. Here’s how Kijima modified Yamaha XSR125 looks like.Kijima Modified Yamaha XSR125 Looks RadAt the 2024 Tokyo Motorcycle Show, renowned aftermarket parts manufacturer, Kijima, showcased a custom demo model of Yamaha XSR125 and the theme they went for was of an Urban Street Tracker. Needless to say, Tracker style mods on neo-retro motorcycles almost always yield appealing results and Kijima’s build was no different.Kijima Yamaha XSR125 Tracker StyleFor starters, Kijima’s approach to a Flat Tracker style is a rather subtle one as we have seen quite a few flamboyant Tracker-style builds. So, the headlight from stock motorcycle remains and so do most of the bike’s body panels. Kijima’s approach here is to subtly amplify and complement stock bike’s look, rather than establishing a completely different identity.Kijima has amplified XSR125’s appeal with custom round aluminium TECH12 ORVMs with fancy ORVM stalks or stems, there is a new fly-screen finished in a multi-colour striped theme, we have a beefy metallic bash plate for engine protection, contrasting colour for handlebar grips, stylish LED turn indicators and we can see a brown seat cover too.Kijima Yamaha XSR125 FlyscreenThere are a lot of chrome bits from Kijima like radiator cover gets a chrome finish, a chrome Tracker-style handlebar with brace bars, a stylish and retro chrome rear grab handle, chrome chopped front fender and the likes.Added functionalities and featuresKijima has also ensured that there are a few functionalities added to Yamaha XSR125 as well. There is a USB charger, there is a helmet lock along with two luggage mounts emerging from rear pillion foot peg area for added practicality. Tyres have been upsized and are fancier Pirelli Scorpion Rally STRs.Kijima Yamaha XSR125 HandlebarThe motorcycle shown by Kijima is for reference and might be commercialized in the future. The custom rear tail-tidy, new Teal paint job with Kijima stickers lend a unique appeal. The bike is now more off-road worthy thanks to new tyres and added protection to bike’s underbody with a bash plate.Kijima Yamaha XSR125 Bash PlateRest of the Yamaha XSR125 appears to be stock. So, we get the same Diamond frame holding a liquid-cooled SOHC 124cc single-cylinder engine capable of generating 14.75 bhp of peak power at 10,000 RPM and 11.5 Nm of peak torque at 8,000 RPM, mated to a 6-speed gearbox.

      Jeep Avenger 4xe Compact SUV Gets 4WD System – Two Electric Motors

      by

      Jeep Avenger 4xe debutsWith a 136 bhp 1.2L Turbo Petrol engine mated to two electric motors (one at each axle), Jeep Avenger 4xe gets 4WD capability for the first timeRevealed a couple of years ago, Jeep Avenger is one of company’s newest endeavours. At around 4.1m long, it is the smallest Jeep and has a good probability of launching in India. After revealing mild-hybrid petrol and fully-electric powertrains with a sole FWD layout, Jeep Avenger 4xe just broke covers packing 4WD for the first time.Jeep Avenger 4xe Debuts With Much Awaited 4WD SystemWhen you think of a Jeep, a tough SUV with off-roading capability is what crosses anyone’s mind. Rightfully so. Jeep is one of the most celebrated off-road SUV manufacturing brands. In recent times, Jeep has been incorporating multiple monocoque SUVs but all of them at least have 4WD options.Avenger 4xe debutsJeep’s smallest offering, Avenger, lacked 4WD capability entirely and faced criticisms from purists. Another criticism of Avenger is that it is the only Jeep not on sale in USA. Jeep is addressing one criticism as of now and unveiled Avenger 4xe with 4WD capability.Speculations suggest Jeep will launch a smaller SUV based on CMP platform shared with Citroen C3 Aircross. That vehicle could potentially take Avenger name and strike design and proportion similarities with global Avenger. Within Stellantis’ umbrella global Jeep Avenger has sister products in the form of Fiat 600 and Alfa Romeo Junior (used to be called Milano SUV).Avenger 4xe debutsHow does 4xe system work?New Jeep Avenger 4xe packs a 1.2L 3-cyl Turbo Petrol engine. This engine alone generates 136 bhp of peak power and sends this power to the wheels via a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Coupled with this engine, are two electric motors, one at each axle. Each motor is rated at 28 bhp and can deliver instantaneous torque, typical of EVs.Avenger 4xe Rugged LooksUp to 30 km/h, Jeep Avenger 4xe is always in 4X4 mode by default and has a 50:50 power distribution between front and rear axles.
