Jeep Compass is now in its third generation, becoming bigger, more technological and multi-energy. Developed on the Stellantis STLA Medium platform, used by a long list of models including the Peugeot 3008 and the new Citroen C5 Aircross, the Compass will arrive in dealerships with hybrid, plug-in hybrid and even electric two- or four-wheel drive powertrains. Goodbye, instead, to the diesel Jeep Compass featured on the second generation. The production site remains unchanged, with the Italian factory in Melfi ready to build the third series of the Jeep Compass. Already orderable, it will hit the road in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Jeep Compass dimensions

In addition to completely new styling with strong Jeep world references, the new Compass grows by an impressive 15 centimetres in length from 4.40 metres to 4.55 metres. Designed with functionality and safety in mind, the Compass features solutions such as Jeep's modular anti-scratch shield and reinforced bumpers. In addition, the vehicle's radar has been repositioned to prevent damage in tight spaces or in the event of obstacles. %.

With a ground clearance of up to 200 mm, an approach angle of 20°, a hump angle of 15° and an exit angle of 26°, the Compass, even as a two-wheel-drive version, is equipped to tackle even the most challenging terrain with ease. In addition, the vehicle's wading depth of up to 470 mm underlines its ability to tackle the most challenging environments.

All-wheel drive versions claim a 27° angle of attack, a 16° bump angle, a 31° exit angle, greater ground clearance and improved fording capability. Automatic downhill speed control will be standard on all-wheel-drive versions.

Completely new is the cockpit, featuring 10-inch digital instrumentation and a large, horizontally spread 16-inch central screen from which to operate the connected infotainment system.

Thanks to the new platform and increased dimensions, the Jeep Compass offers more space on board starting with the rear seats (with 40/20/40 split as standard on all versions) and a cargo capacity increased by 45 litres for a total of 550 litres. All versions will feature Selec-Terrain, designed to guarantee the best grip on all surfaces.

New Jeep Compass engines

Under the bonnet of the Jeep Compass will come the puretech 3-cylinder 1.2 light 48-volt hybrid with 145 horsepower with 4xe drive and the 1.6 plug-in hybrid with 195 horsepower. The electric Jeep Compass will be offered with two batteries, starting with the 74 kWh rear-wheel-drive version with 213 horsepower.

Moving on to the 96 kWh battery version, power reaches 375 hp in the 4x4 model and range reaches 650 km when opting for the 231 hp two-wheel drive. Recharging is up to 160 kW using direct current sockets, while alternating current provides 22 kW. The high autonomy also stems from the CX improved by 10 per cent to less than 0.3, thanks to the introduction of features such as an active grille integrated directly into the front bumper, air intakes on the front and rear wheels, sharp rear edges and a completely flat underbody design.
