New-Gen Jeep Compass: American automobile manufacturer Jeep is preparing to revamp its lineup, starting with a completely new version of the Compass for the European market. This new Compass model is expected to be available in India soon after its global debut. New Jeep Compass will feature a fresh design, advanced technology, and a variety of powertrain options. With these updates, Jeep aims to strengthen its position in the competitive SUV market.
New Jeep Compass - Design
In terms of design, the new Jeep Compass will continue to be a 5-seater SUV but will have a more robust and upright appearance compared to the current model. Jeep plans to offer two variants: the standard model and the Trail-Rated edition. The Trail-Rated version is tailored for off-road enthusiasts, featuring a higher ride height, special off-road tyres, better approach and departure angles and rugged exterior materials.
New Jeep Compass - Interior
Moving inside, the new Compass is expected to undergo a complete redesign. It may incorporate advanced technology from other Stellantis brands, such as Peugeot’s windscreen i-cockpit layout and Vauxhall Grandland’s 16-inch widescreen display. These updates aim to enhance the driving experience with improved infotainment and connectivity features. Additionally, Jeep will continue its tradition of including ‘Easter Eggs’ – hidden design elements throughout the interior.
New Jeep Compass - Powertrain
The upcoming Compass will be built on the STLA-M platform from Stellantis, Jeep’s parent company. This new platform will support various powertrain options, including mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric variants.
