Next-generation Jeep Compass to go on sale with ICE, hybrid, BEV powertrains in 2025; production in Italy

The next-generation Jeep Compass has been teased in a design sketch released by the manufacturer, and this will be built on the Stellantis group’s STLA Medium platform, it has revealed.

Like its 2020 model-year predecessor, the upcoming Compass will be built at the group’s manufacturing plant in Melfi, Italy, though the now the unibody SUV will be built on the SLTA Medium platform that supports internal combustion, hybrid and fully electric powertrains, and which forms the basis of the likes of the Peugeot e-3008. Production will also expand to North America and other markets globally in 2026.

Its powertrains will likely feature a 136 PS mild-hybrid unit paired to a dual-clutch automatic transmission, along with a 213 PS/343 Nm single-motor electric drivetrain with a 73 kWh battery pack such as that installed in the Peugeot e-3008, according to Autocar.

For comparison, the current Jeep Compass gets a 1.3 litre turbocharged petrol engine in 130 hp and 150 hp versions, both with 270 Nm, while a 1.6 litre turbodiesel makes 120 hp and 320 Nm of torque. The current model also gets a 4xe hybrid powertrain that combines an electric motor with the 1.3 litre turbo petrol engine and all-wheel-drive, with 190 hp or 240 hp.

For the Malaysian market, the Jeep brand has been earmarked for reintroduction locally, Stellantis Malaysia revealed earlier this year. This will be positioned as a ‘recreational lifestyle’ brand, in addition to Peugeot and Citroen as well as Leapmotor in the upper mainstream, mass market and affordable EV segments, respectively.
