In addition to the new Compass and Renegade, Jeep's roadmap includes midlife-cycle refreshes for several existing models. The Grand Cherokee and the all-electric Wagoneer will see updates, as will the globally popular Wrangler and Gladiator.
The Jeep Compass, Jeep's most accessible SUV in India, is expected to play a crucial role in driving sales. The next-generation model promises significant upgrades in styling, features and off-roading capabilities. The new Compass is expected to be based on Stellantis' STLA M architecture, which will underpin a range of vehicles in the future.
There are also strong rumours about an electrified version joining the lineup, although Stellantis has not explicitly confirmed a Compass EV. For the Indian market, the arrival of the next-generation Compass could pave the way for an updated Jeep Meridian. The next-gen Compass is expected to be produced at Jeep's Ranjangaon facility in India, serving as a global production hub for right-hand drive markets.

This mystery model will join the Wagoneer S and Recon in Jeep's expanding EV lineup, further solidifying the brand's commitment to electric mobility.
