2026 Jeep Compass

Last Updated:

Jeep released a teaser sketch of the next-generation Compass a few weeks ago.

Now we have a new illustration obviously based on the official teaser, and looking pretty close. I guess.

however, the whole thing now looks smaller and less angular. The wheel arches design is also not the same at all as the one in the teaser.

Jeep isn’t saying much yet except this:

“The Jeep® brand previewed the next-generation Compass, the first four-wheel-drive compact Jeep SUV built on the STLA Medium platform. True to the brand’s “Freedom of Choice” strategy, it will offer various multi-energy propulsion systems delivering affordable capability, top performance, and advanced technology. Debuting first in Europe in 2025 with production in Melfi, Italy, the new Jeep Compass will expand to North America and globally in 2026.”

As you can see from the teaser image, the new Compass will look much sleeker than the current model. It also seems longer but that could just be the design.

The STLA Medium platform is already being used by various Stellantis models, in Europe. Like the new Peugeot e-3008 and e-5008. As well as the new Opel Grandland 2.

The current Compass is the second generation that came out in 2016. This means it will be about 10 years old when replaced in the US by the new one. And yet, sales were up last year with over 96,000 units sold in the US. Almost 85,000 already this year.

The new Compass is part of an all-new Jeep lineup coming soon. (Let’s hope we also see a couple of new Chrysler models)

Which will include the all-new Renegade and its $25,000 EV version. The new Recon is still scheduled to be introduced later this year and available in early 2025. There is also a mysterious “mainstream utility vehicle” on the horizon. Whatever that means.

Maybe a raised wagon to compete against the Subaru Outback? Wouldn’t that be fine…

  1. I’m going to hope that this is a bad sketch of the new Compass because it ain’t looking good. It should look like a Jeep Avenger that they have in Europe. That’s a very sharp looking design. This illustration is just awful. No Jeep DNA. Could be a generic crossover from any brand.
