Melfi, Italy – Jeep has officially confirmed that the highly anticipated next-generation Compass will make its global debut in Europe this spring. The announcement comes alongside the release of fresh images from the Melfi production facility in Italy, where the new model is set to roll off the assembly line later this year.
Built on Stellantis’ STLA Medium platform, the 2025 Jeep Compass marks a significant evolution for the brand’s popular SUV, promising enhanced capability, electrification, and cutting-edge technology to cater to the modern driver.
Diverse Powertrain Choices for a Changing Market
In response to the growing demand for electrified vehicles, Jeep will offer the next-gen Compass in a variety of powertrain options, ensuring greater accessibility and sustainability across markets. Customers will have the choice between:
✅ e-Hybrid – A fuel-efficient mild-hybrid option for those looking to balance power and economy.
✅ Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) – Offering extended electric range while maintaining Jeep’s legendary off-road capability.
✅ Fully Electric (BEV) – A zero-emission alternative with cutting-edge battery technology and impressive range.
Jeep has also confirmed that all-wheel drive (AWD) will be available on select models, ensuring that the Compass stays true to the brand’s rugged DNA, regardless of the powertrain choice.
Jeep’s Global Strategy: Elevating the Compass Nameplate
The Compass has long been a cornerstone of Jeep’s global lineup, especially in markets like Europe, North America, and South America, where its blend of compact practicality and off-road versatility makes it a top seller. With the upcoming refresh, Jeep aims to push the Compass further upmarket by integrating best-in-class performance, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and premium interior refinements.
Riding on the STLA Medium platform, the new Compass will benefit from improved driving dynamics, increased efficiency, and a more spacious interior—elements that align with Jeep’s strategy to transition into a more electrified and tech-forward brand.

With demand for compact SUVs continuing to surge, particularly in urban and suburban markets, Jeep is betting big on the Compass to lead the charge into its next era of electrification.
