2026 Jeep Compass.
Last Updated:
The illustrations above try to guess what the next-generation Jeep Compass could look like.
These have obviously been done following Jeep’s official teaser from a few weeks ago. And they do look quite realistic. However, many elements like the rear door and rear side windows are different in the 2 views of the car.
The new Compass will come out next year in Europe. With production scheduled in Italy for 2025. While the US version could be built in Mexico starting in 2026.
The new Compass will use the new Stellantis Medium platform which means it will be a bit larger than the current model with a longer wheelbase. This will allow Jeep to compete better with the Honda CR-V or the new 2026 Toyota RAV4. That platform is already in use in Europe for the new Opel Grandland and Peugeot e-3008 and e-5008.
The platform can accommodate a variety of powertrains including pure EV, PHEV, Hybrid, or even just plain old gas. Which allows Stellantis to better follow local demands for various markets.
As you can see from the teaser image, the new Compass will look much sleeker than the current model.
The current Jeep 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. 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. (not much time left for that “2024 introduction”…).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…
I see a lot of Chevy influence from the side.
The North American version will be built in Brampton Canada
“Steal”lantis will overprice it and then when it doesn’t sell well the dealers will revolt again….
