So this was designed in Auburn Hills, but Auburn Hills didn't think they should've updated the engine? This is a truly baffling decision.
It seems they don't want the Compass to step on the Cherokee's toes.

If the exterior and interior are identical to the Indian and Brazilian Compass, then who did this refresh? If it has been outsourced, then good job, the results are quite good. Smart to take advantage of this global Jeep talent while reducing development costs here. However, I agree, the lack of power train changes bewilders me. One negative that stood out in the past and not addressed. Why?
Jeep, it would seem, is taking a “global approach” to Jeep development in some segments and has chosen wisely. One last concern, where does this leave Cherokee? More than ever a RWD/AWD new platform and a fresh sheet of paper is an absolute necessity, especially with Grand Cherokee growing and clearly surrendering most of its global market potential, especially in Europe. A down sized Grand Cherokee spin off, new Cherokee replacement makes not only sense, but is a survival decision for Cherokee in every market. Cherokee, for now, is in limbo.It logically can be a mid-size game changer for Jeep or like the power train decision for Compass, simply a head scratching miscalculation if left as now configured.

Manley/Auburn Hills as a part of the 2018 plan, moved away from a Global approach hence the 3-row Compass, Baby Jeep, Wagoneer,Etc.
“To make Jeep more Global, more regionally targeting”/“To make Jeep more Global there have to be more about Adventure Than Just Off-Roading” mindset.

Very disappointed with no powertrain changes. The 1.3T would've complemented the more upscale and refined feel of the refreshed cabin but apparently, they're too cheap to make that change. As a dealer, many times we have clients interested in the Compass but often purchase something else because of the 2.4, whether it be from refinement issues or oil consumption concerns - Just a bad motor.

Agree. I have owned two 2.4. Coarse, unrefined engine with downright embarrassing oil consumption.
 
Don't hate me for this, but I can totally see this design language being used for a return to the 2014-2018 Cherokee's split headlight design.
