Jeep Unveils New Compass with Multiple Power Options and Future Plans

TapTechNews October 7th news, Jeep released a teaser image of a brand new Compass tonight. The new car will adopt Stellantis' STLA mid-sized (TapTechNews note: literally translated as medium-sized) platform and offer pure electric, gasoline, diesel, plug-in hybrid and other power options. It will be launched in Europe next year and expand to North America and other regions globally in 2026.

The new car continues the tough line style of the Jeep family, with large-sized wheel arches and a square body silhouette, and is expected to retain classic designs such as the 7-slot front grille.

In terms of power, the official only said that the car will offer four-wheel drive models. The plug-in hybrid version is expected to be a power system composed of a 1.2T engine and an electric motor, and be paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission; the pure electric version is a dual-motor four-wheel drive configuration with a 96 kWh battery and a cruising range of up to 435 miles.

According to Jeep's previous product plan, the brand new Compass will make its debut in November. This car follows Stellantis' Freedom of Choice concept and offers a variety of power systems. Kris Cholmondeley, the general manager of Jeep UK, said in an interview that the next-generation Compass will be even more exciting, and it is also the key for the company to achieve its market share target.
