Jeep teases new-generation Compass SUV with new platform, more rugged appearance
Jeep has given us a sneak peek at the third-generation Compass SUV, which is set to go into production from 2025.
The renewed Toyota Rav4 and Volkswagen Tiguan will be built around the Stellantis STLA Medium platform, which also underpins the new Peugeot 3008 and Opel Grandland.
Thanks to this “highly flexible” architecture, the new Compass will be offered with the full ambit of powertrains, including internal combustion, hybrid and fully electric.
Specific powertrain details remain under wraps for now, but the company is promising “best-in-class” performance and state-of-the-art technology across all options.
Jeep revealed a darkened sketch this week, showing us the profile of the new SUV contender. It appears marginally bigger than the current model, with bulging fenders giving it a more rugged appearance while also forging a family resemblance to the smaller Jeep Avenger.

Jeep Compass images leak ahead of unveiling
Jeep started teasing the Compass EV back in October, and now we're very close to its actual unveiling which is rumored to take place next week.
The car's production will start in Europe this year, and if you're wondering what to expect in terms of batteries and powertrains it's probably best to take a peek at the Peugeot e-3008 and e-5008, with which the Compass shares the STLA Medium platform.
Thus, we wouldn't be at all surprised if it's offered with two battery packs, 73kWh and 98kWh. The former will be available with both front-wheel drive with a maximum power output of 210 hp, and all-wheel drive with an output of 320 hp. The longest-range battery will only be paired with the FWD powertrain.

All-new Jeep Compass revealed with Stellantis genes, hybrid or electric power
The Jeep Compass, which is the US brand’s most globally-available model, has been given a complete redesign for 2025.
Built around the STLA Medium platform, the new Compass shares its bones with other Stellantis SUV products such as the Peugeot 3008 and 5008, and it will be available with hybrid and electric drivetrains.
Despite this, the blocky exterior design is very much in keeping with Jeep’s contemporary design language.
Built in Italy, the new Compass will be launched in European markets first, before being rolled out to other global markets in due course.
Still a global model at heart, Jeep says the new model was designed to meet the diverse needs of customers around the world.
Depending on the market, it will be offered with a full range of powertrains, including a 108kW mild hybrid, 145kW plug-in hybrid and three fully electric variants offering between 158kW and 280kW, with the latter offering four-wheel drive.
The battery-powered Compass will offer an impressive range of up to 650km between charges, Jeep says.
On the tech front, the Compass is available with Level 2 semi-autonomous driving capability, while the cockpit includes a 10-inch digital instrument cluster and 16-inch infotainment system, offering over-the-air updates.

A new era for the iconic SUV - Jeep reveals the electric Compass
Jeep, the quintessential American brand, has unveiled its redesigned Compass for the 2026 model year, with a focus on electrified powertrains. With Europe as the initial launch market, Stellantis seems to have found some confidence in international markets. The third-generation Compass is a big departure from its predecessor, promising increased space, advanced technology, and a range of hybrid and fully electric options, with the most powerful version delivering an impressive 375 horsepower.
The exterior design retains Jeep's signature boxy aesthetic. The 2026 Compass is built on an entirely new foundation - it now utilizes the STLA Medium platform, a modular architecture shared with other Stellantis vehicles like the Peugeot 3008 and Citroën C5 Aircross. This new platform is responsible for the Compass's increased dimensions. Stretching to 4544 mm in length, it's now 155 mm longer than the previous model.
Design highlights include flatter headlights flanking a modern interpretation of the iconic seven-slot grille, and distinctive X-shaped taillights connected by a light bar featuring an illuminated Jeep logo. Practicality is Jeep's middle name, and the new model comes with plenty of plastic body cladding and squared-off wheel arches. The larger rear quarter glass improves visibility for passengers. Higher trim levels will get stylish touches such as a contrasting black roof, matrix LED headlights, and a glass roof.
Thankfully, the new Jeep is still adventure-ready, and the four-wheel-drive versions of the new Compass promise a maximum ground clearance of 200 mm, along with approach, breakover, and departure angles of 20, 15, and 26 degrees, respectively. It will also be capable of wading through water up to 470 mm deep. A hill descent control system will come standard on all four-wheel-drive models, enhancing off-road capability.

New Jeep Compass: fresh looks and 403 miles of range for the electric one
Jeep gives its Compass SUV a thorough update inside and out
This is the brand new Jeep Compass, and this be no ordinary lip-service refresh: Jeep's crammed in more features, more body, more cabin, and more... powertrain. That means three(!) fully electric versions with up to 403 miles of range, plus a couple of hybrids thrown into the mix for good measure.
Let’s check out that fresh set of electricities. There’s a choice between a 74kWh or 96kWh battery: the latter gives you that headline range, but the smaller one is capable of a still-respectable 310-mile distance on one charge.
Both are available in front-wheel-drive, the lower battery providing 210bhp, while the bigger one kicks out 229bhp. That 96kWh version is also available as 4WD via a second e-motor, to punch out an entirely unsensible 370bhp and – get this – up to 2,380lb ft torque (via a 14:1 reducer). Lotta torque, that.
All electrified Compass versions get an active grille shutter integrated into the front bumper, and air ducts on the wheels with a fully flat underbody to maximise aero. It also supports up to 160kW rapid charging, meaning a 20-80 per cent rejuice takes half an hour.
