New Jeep Compass Won’t Be All-Wheel Drive Unless You Buy The EV
- Jeep's next Compass model in Europe will only offer all-wheel drive with the top electric variant, while gasoline-powered versions will be front-wheel drive.
- The all-wheel-drive electric variant features a rear motor unique to the Compass, enabling climbing steep slopes without front-wheel traction. It has a 96-kWh battery pack with a range of 373 miles and fast charging capabilities.

Stateside Sentra: Nissan Might Move Some Sentra Production
- Nissan is considering moving some of its Sentra production from Mexico to an underutilized plant in Mississippi, in response to tariff taxes imposed by the Trump administration.
- The Mississippi plant currently produces the Frontier and Altima, with its production line running at half its full capacity. Shifting Sentra production to this plant could help address this issue.
- Nissan's initial plans to utilize the production capacity for EVs have not materialized as expected due to slower growth in the EV market. Sedan production plans have been revised, with crossovers currently in development.
- While Nissan may have space in the U.S. for Sentra production, potential challenges lie in ensuring a smooth transition for suppliers. The move could also impact the Sentra's sticker price, considering the differences in the cost of operations between the U.S. and Mexico.
