Introduction to the Next-Gen Jeep Compass
The Jeep Compass has seen significant evolution since its last redesign, which dates back to the 2017 model year. The anticipation builds as the next-generation Compass moves toward production, with a preview recently unveiled. Slated for European sales in 2025, followed by the U.S. launch in 2026, this compact SUV promises to deliver innovative updates and improved features.
Design Changes and Features
The teaser image released by Jeep offers only a silhouette of the upcoming Compass, revealing a streamlined profile. One of the notable design adjustments is the reduction of the bulkiness of the D-pillar. This alteration is expected to enhance visibility and reduce the blind spots that have been a concern for drivers. Although specific details remain limited, enthusiasts eagerly await more information regarding the new design.
Platform and Engine Options
Built on Stellantis’ STLA medium platform, the next-gen Jeep Compass will share foundational technology with other models, such as the new Dodge Charger. This platform is notable for its versatility, allowing for a variety of “multi-energy propulsion systems.” Potential powertrains could include turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engines, and there are discussions about the possibility of a hybrid version, such as the Dodge Hornet R/T’s four-cylinder hybrid. In addition, the STLA medium platform is designed to accommodate electric vehicle battery packs, suggesting a plug-in hybrid option could be made available.
As the fall season arrives and auto-show events unfold, more revelations about the next-generation Jeep Compass are eagerly anticipated. Gear up for an exciting unveiling that could reshape the compact SUV landscape.
