Could We See The Next-Gen Jeep® Compass By Year-End?

The next-generation Jeep® Compass (J4U) is rumored to be gearing up for its official debut by the end of the year, as reported by British car magazine AutoExpress. With development said to be in its advanced stages, production is expected to commence in mid-2025 in Europe, followed by North America later in the year. So, what can we expect from the new Compass? Prepare for a major overhaul. First and foremost, it will be built on a cutting-edge platform known as STLA Medium, bidding farewell to the outdated Small Wide 4×4 platform.

A Jeep with the Patriot name would face endless ridicule if produced outside North America. The next generation of the Renegade will be produced in Europe and Latin America, unless it goes on to use the STLA medium platform.

The recently announced Opel Frontera will offer a 3-row version. This suggests the small platform can be stretched to the size and proportions of a Jeep Patriot. Just don't use that name. Also offer a mild hybrid option to keep it affordable.

The next Compass desperately needs to have a 48V 4Xe option like the Avenger offers. There are a few vendors offering suitable transmissions, if that Stellantis built unit isn't durable enough to use in the larger Compass under American driving conditions.

Stellantis has a pattern of introducing the pure battery electric version of a new vehicle first, followed by other drive train options later. It is logical to assume the Compass and Cherokee models will follow the same pattern.
