The previous Jeep Compass was among pioneers in the so-called soft-roader market.

A relatively familiar sight on Mzansi roads, the American compact sport-utility vehicle proved to be a decent performer for the brand. In fact, it lays claim to being the “most globally available model” for Jeep.

It aims to refresh the lineage with an all-new version, previewed in a sketch.

Built on the Stellantis firm’s STLA medium platform, the new Jeep Compass will be available in a variety of propulsion options from fully electric to hybrid to internal combustion.

It promises affordable Jeep capability, best-in-class performance and state-of-the-art technology.

The new model will debut in Europe with production beginning in Melfi, Italy in 2025 before expanding production to North America and around the world in 2026.
