Jeep Compass Revealed

The New Jeep Compass Unveiled

The Jeep Compass is stepping into the future with a striking debut, sporting a vibrant lime green exterior complemented by sleek 20-inch alloy wheels. Not only does this reveal coincide with Jeep’s ongoing three-year partnership with Juventus F.C., but it also showcases the vehicle’s innovative direction as it heads into production in late 2025. Drivers can look forward to choosing between mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and full electric (EV) options.

Design and Performance

The fully electric Compass stands out with its aggressive styling, featuring a boxier design than its predecessor. The robust fenders, high-tech LED lighting, and keenly-edged bumpers lend it a muscular appearance. The SUV’s 20-inch wheels and distinctive details, like the Willy’s Jeep graphics, suggest a potential special edition release or launch model. The seven-slot grille, an iconic Jeep feature, is subtly reimagined here — mostly sealed to enhance aerodynamics.

Under the Hood

This new Compass isn’t just a looker; it rides on the state-of-the-art STLA Medium platform. This versatile chassis supports a range of powertrains. The base model is powered by a 1.2-liter four-cylinder mild-hybrid engine, delivering a modest 145 horsepower. Those looking for more oomph can opt for the 1.6-liter plug-in hybrid with 195 horsepower. EV enthusiasts can pick configurations starting at 213 horsepower, reaching up to an impressive 375 horsepower for the all-wheel-drive (AWD) flagship model.

Driving Experience

Driving the new Jeep Compass will likely feel as fresh as its vibrant lime green paint job suggests. Expect a smooth, refined feel from both hybrid and electric models — think the comfort of a Volvo XC40 Recharge combined with the rugged charm of a traditional Jeep. The electric motors provide a whisper-quiet ride with impressive instantaneous torque, making urban and highway driving a breeze.

Availability and Market Outlook

While European markets will see the new Compass hit the streets soon after production begins in Italy, there’s some uncertainty about its American debut. Due to tariff challenges and market strategy, Jeep hasn’t confirmed the U.S. release date just yet, leaving fans on this side of the pond eagerly waiting for news.

Sponsorship Moves

In addition to the vehicle unveiling, Jeep has proudly renewed its sponsorship of Juventus F.C. for another three seasons. With the Jeep logo gracing the legendary club’s jerseys once more, complete with a “Visit Detroit” message, this partnership underscores Jeep’s global branding effort and dedication to its community.
