Jeep is cooking the next generation of its compact SUVsthem Jeep Renegade and Compass : these two models will be sold worldwide and will have important new features. Indeed, the two future SUVs will be fully developed in line with the new strategic electrification plan of the Stellantis group.
Therefore, these two models will be based on new platforms from the Stellantis group (STLA Small and STLA Medium), and will be larger than the current generations. And it is not surprising that the two new models will offer 100% electric motors in their catalog.
Jeep Compass (2023): Next year
According to the latest rumours, the next generation Jeep Compass will initially be sold in Europe: it will be based on the STLA Medium platform and should enter the market by the end of 2023. This new architecture will allow the Compass to offer 100% electric motorization. Several versions will be available with four-wheel drive, with power from 170 to 244 horsepower, as well as autonomy up to 640 km.

Like a compass, the upcoming Jeep Renegade will be based on the new platform from Stellantis, the STLA Small, and will also offer serious improvements: indeed, with the launch of the new Avenger Renegade will no longer be the brand’s smallest SUV.
