Jeep originally released the first teaser for the new Compass last year.

While the original teaser showcased the SUV’s boxy and upright proportions in profile, the latest images showcase some design elements of the SUV’s fascia and rear. The first of the images shows part of the headlamp and grille with the new-gen Compass set to retain the iconic seven-slot grille. The grille looks to be more upright and sunken in compared to the current-gen Compass, and it looks to feature an illuminated light strip up top. The headlights, meanwhile, appear to be simple rectangular units with projector elements within.

Jeep has previously confirmed that the new Compass would move to the STLA Medium architecture and feature a range of powertrain options for global markets. These will include all-electric, hybrid and standard internal combustion options with four-wheel drive to also be offered on select models. The company also confirmed that the new Compass will pack in ‘best in class performance’ and ‘ state-of-the-art technology.’ For Europe, Stellantis has now confirmed that the Compass will be offered in hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric guises.

Press release and production line image suggest that production is already underway in Italy.

The company has also hinted that the new Compass has already hit production lines in Europe with the teaser images accompanied by an image of a stripped-down monocoque frame on an assembly line. The accompanying press release also mentioned that the teaser images were taken at Stellantis’ production facility in Melfi, Italy, where the European-spec model will be manufactured.

The Compass is also slated to hit North American markets as well, though it remains to be seen if the new-gen model will replace the current SUV in India. Reports have previously alluded to the new model likely to not be feasible for the Indian market given the current Compass’ slow sales.
