Built to embody Jeep’s hallmark capability, ruggedness, and distinctive attitude, new Compass blends versatility with state-of-the-art technology.
True to the Jeep legacy, Compass features the brand’s unmistakable seven-slot grille, trapezoidal wheel arches and rugged cladding, ensuring off-road prowess and its signature look.
An anti-scratch, modular Jeep shield and reinforced bumpers provide enhanced protection in both urban and off-road environments.
The radar unit has also been repositioned to avoid damage from obstacles in tight spaces.
Built on the Stellantis STLA Medium platform, the third generation off-roader has been specifically engineered to support electrification in the C and D segments.
It is the same platform that underpins the Peugeot 5008 and the Opel Grandland.
A range of powertrains will be offered: 108kW 48V hybrid, 145kW plug-in hybrid and three fully-electric versions, ranging from 159kW front-wheel drive to a stunning 280kW in the all-wheel drive.
To achieve this impressive figure, Jeep has introduced a new, dedicated, more powerful rear electric motor that provides an additional 49kW of peak power and up to 232Nm of torque.
Coupling this with a 14:1 rear reducer, Jeep claims it translates into an impressive 3100Nm at the rear wheels.
This gives maximum traction in most challenging situations, with the ability to climb a 20 per cent slope, even with zero traction at the front wheels.
EV Charging is also faster, with a rapid 160kW DC solution offering a 30 minute 20-80 per cent recharge time, and an onboard charger with up to 22kW.
A fully electric range of up to 650km is another key attribute, positioning the EV version to be highly competitive.
Capability of the new Compass is extended across the range, including the front-wheel-drive version, which will also be 100 per cent capable.
With ground clearance of up to 200mm, approach angle of 20 degrees, breakover angle of 15 degrees and departure angle of 26 degrees, it’s equipped to handle tough terrains with ease.
Additionally, a water fording depth of up to 470mm highlights its ability to tackle the most challenging environments.
Selec-terrain will be standard on all versions along with the 360-degree protection already offered by Avenger.
New suspension tuning with dedicated springs, dampers and anti-roll bar deliver a good compromise between handling and comfort.
All-wheel-drive versions will be even more capable thanks to a greater 27 degrees of approach angle, 16 degrees of breakover, 31 degrees of departure angle, and improved ground clearance and water fording.
Hill descent control will be standard on the all-wheel drive versions.
Beyond its off-road prowess, the Compass offers more interior space and remarkable versatility while remaining one of the most compact vehicles manufactured from STLA Medium Platform with only 4.55m total length.
It now provides 55mm of additional legroom, a larger 34-litre front interior storage compartment, and an increased boot capacity of 45 litres, reaching up to 550 litres.
A 40:20:40 rear seat split allows for ultimate flexibility, making it as functional for passengers as it is for cargo.
The new infotainment system offers a 10.0-inch instrument cluster and a 16.0-inch touchscreen, while connected services ensure that the vehicle will be always up-to-date, receiving over-the-air (OTA) updates throughout the lifecycle.
Level 2 autonomous driving offers support in urban areas and on longer trips.
Aerodynamics have been improved by 10 per cent with a a Cd of less than 0.3, with active shutter integrated with the front bumper, air ducts for the front and rear wheels, sharp rear edges and a fully flat underbody design.
Deliveries of the limited First Edition are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025.
