Jeep has unveiled the next-generation Compass, which moves to a new platform shared with the Peugeot 3008 and Vauxhall Grandland.
The new model is set to arrive later in 2025, with electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrain options.
Development was shared between teams in the USA and Europe, resulting in a car than blends "rugged off-road capability and seamless daily usability".
The new Compass is larger than its predecessor, yet it retains a smaller footprint than its stablemates.
Jeep quotes a boot volume of 550 litres and says passengers will have more legroom.
The Compass has a distinctive design, with numerous 'traditional Jeep' styling touches.
Off-road capability is promised across the range, including on front-wheel-drive versions which have a ground clearance of up to 200mm, approach angle of 20 degrees, breakover angle of 15 degrees and departure angle of 26 degrees. The vehicle’s water fording depth is up to 470mm, while Selec-terrain and hill descent control will feature as standard across all versions.
All-wheel-drive versions will offer even greater capabilities, with 27 degrees of approach angle, 16 degrees of breakover, 31 degrees of departure angle, and improved ground clearance and water fording.
The powertrain line-up includes a 145PS Hybrid; a 195PS Plug-in Hybrid and three full-electric versions, ranging from a 213PS front-wheel drive version up to a 375PS all-wheel drive model.
The electric version has a range of up to 310 miles.
More details, including pricing and specifications, will be available when the car goes on sale in the summer.
