Jeep has officially unveiled the next-generation Compass, a bold evolution of the popular C-SUV that has captivated over 2.5 million customers globally since its 2006 debut.
Now launched from Italy’s Melfi plant—an essential part of Stellantis’ electrification strategy—the all-new Compass stays true to Jeep’s rugged DNA while embracing cutting-edge tech, enhanced comfort, and full electrification.

Redesigned for Versatility and Power
Built on the Stellantis STLA Medium platform, the new Compass strikes a refined balance between off-road prowess and everyday usability. With a compact 4.55m footprint, it now offers improved interior space including 55mm more legroom, 34L of added storage, and up to 550L in boot capacity.
Jeep has optimized the Compass’ aerodynamics (with a drag coefficient under 0.3), introducing features like active grille shutters and a fully flat underbody.
The design pays homage to classic Jeep elements—seven-slot grille, trapezoidal wheel arches, and rugged cladding—while offering a sleeker silhouette and enhanced functionality. Front and rear bumpers are reinforced, and the radar unit has been repositioned for durability in tough environments.
Powertrain Choices for Every Adventure
The new Compass introduces three powertrains:
- 145 hp 48V e-Hybrid
- 195 hp Plug-in Hybrid
- Battery Electric (BEV) with up to 650 km range
The BEV range includes FWD (213 hp) and a powerful AWD variant (375 hp), equipped with a new rear motor delivering 3100 Nm of torque at the rear wheels. It also supports 160kW DC fast charging, offering 20–80% charge in just 30 minutes, and an onboard charger up to 22kW.
Built for Adventure—No Compromise
The Compass retains Jeep’s legendary off-road capability across all versions, including FWD models. Ground clearance reaches up to 200 mm, with Selec-Terrain drive modes standard.
AWD versions boast 31° departure angles, enhanced approach/breakover angles, hill descent control, and deeper water fording (470 mm). Suspension updates improve handling without sacrificing comfort.
Tech-Forward, Inside and Out
All models feature:
- 10” digital cluster + 16” infotainment screen
- OTA software updates
- Level 2 autonomous driving
- 360° all-round protection
- Head-up display, matrix LED lights, phone-based access (available on select trims)
Interior versatility is enhanced by a 40/20/40 split rear seat, and connectivity features position the Compass as a tech-savvy leader in its class.
Limited First Edition Now Available
The First Edition Compass comes in two versions: a 145 hp hybrid and a 213 hp BEV. It includes 20-inch wheels, LED matrix lights, cloth and vinyl heated seats, Level 2 autonomy, and a hands-free tailgate. Optional extras include ventilated and massaging seats, a panoramic sunroof, and semi-automated lane change.
Six new nature-inspired colorways highlight its global spirit—from vibrant Hawaii green to icy Antarctica white and volcanic Vulcano black.
A Strong Start to 2025
After Jeep’s impressive 2024 performance in Europe—led by the Avenger and double-digit growth outside Italy—the new Compass is set to continue the brand’s momentum. Sales in the UK tripled year-over-year, with strong gains in France and the Netherlands, contributing to Jeep’s 1.1% market share at the start of 2025.
The New Jeep Compass is now available for order in Europe, with deliveries starting Q4 2025. For more, watch the official unveiling on the Jeep Europe YouTube channel.
