New Compass 2026 model with new design
The second-generation Compass, which was released in 2016, underwent a minor change in 2021, but this time it is finally undergoing a full model change.
The sketch, released on October 7, 2024 (local time), shows the car retaining its angular wheel arches but with a sharper look. The roofline is smooth, and the front and rear designs appear to be influenced by the Grand Cherokee, Jeep’s flagship SUV.

New Compass 2026 model adopts latest platform
The new Compass will be the first Jeep vehicle to use the Stellantis Group’s STLA medium platform, which is also used by other Stellantis vehicles such as the Peugeot 3008/5008 and Opel Grandland.
Jeep says the new Compass will be available with all-wheel drive and “a variety of multi-energy propulsion systems,” meaning a wide range of gasoline, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric options are possible.

In Europe, the entry-level model is expected to be a mild hybrid that combines a 1.2L gasoline engine with a small motor.
The electric version is likely to use the same powertrain as the Peugeot E-3008, which would likely include a dual-motor version with a maximum output of 320 horsepower. There could also be a long-range model with a range of 700 km.
Expectations for the new Compass 2026 model with enhanced equipment
Jeep says the new Compass “offers the best performance and advanced technology at an affordable price.” Expectations are high that it will be equipped with the latest infotainment system and a full range of driver assistance systems.
Production of the new Compass is scheduled to begin next year at the Melfi plant in Italy, and as it is a popular model sold in over 100 countries around the world, production will likely be expanded to other plants in the future.
