CONFIDENCE 96%The Compass 4xe reaches 100 km/h first (7.58 s vs 7.76 s), but the DS4 PureTech is ahead at every metre of the race. Explanation: the DS4 PureTech accelerates harder at low speed and builds a distance gap before either car hits 100 km/h.
Why this result?
The Jeep Compass 4xe is faster at 0-100 km/h, but the DS DS4 PureTech 225 EAT8 compensates at high speed thanks to higher peak power or top speed. At 400 m, DS DS4 PureTech 225 EAT8 leads by 0.01 s.

DS4 PureTech 225 EAT8 vs Compass 4xe: chronicle of a drag race at 245 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Compass 4xe hits 100 km/h in 7.58 s versus 7.76 s for the DS4 PureTech 225 EAT8. At this point, the Compass 4xe leads by 0.18 s and sits roughly 18 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Compass 4xe is doing 116 km/h against 126 km/h for the DS4 PureTech 225 EAT8. The gap is 0.48 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the DS4 PureTech 225 EAT8 crosses the line in 15.61 s versus 15.62 s. The 0.01 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the DS4 PureTech 225 EAT8 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 178 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the DS4 PureTech 225 EAT8 finishes in 27.41 s versus 28.87 s, with a 1.47 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 200 km/h, the Compass 4xe never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor — it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (6.49 kg/hp vs 9.56 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.66 seconds. The 0.18 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Jeep Compass 4xe is slightly faster than the DS DS4 PureTech 225 EAT8 to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
