I hope they fixed that system from the Renegade. It's literally the top complaint, is that they're dysfunctional. (A clip breaks & the whole system needs replacing bc it's quicker than replacing the clip.)

Inner hatch door - this is a lot of wasted space to me, but I'm not an engineer. lol
And generally speaking, it has a lot of the X theme that was scattered across the Renegade. Do you think it'll come here as Renegade instead of Compass?

Also, Here's a video

"The 2026 Compass gets mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and purely electric drivetrains for the European market. The base model will make do with 145 horsepower from an unspecified gasoline engine equipped with 48-volt tech. The plug-in hybrid will pack 195 hp, while the three EVs will range from 213 hp for the front-wheel-drive model to 375 hp for the AWD-equipped range-topper.'

The capability of the new Compass is extended across the range, including the front-wheel-drive version, which will also be 100% capable.

FWD version 100% capable? Capable of what? Driving around the mall parking lot?

True to the Jeep brand's legacy, the Iconic Jeep features such as the unmistakable seven-slot grille, trapezoidal wheel arches, and rugged cladding were thoughtfully integrated to honor the brand's heritage while ensuring the vehicle retains its off-road prowess and signature look.

The brand's heritage is unmatched capability and ruggedness. None of which is dependent upon having a seven-slot grill, trapezoidal wheel arches or cladding.

Good lord, I need some ibuprofen after reading this nonsense.

2wd is capable. Every trim level doesn't have to be the TOP OF THE LINE BEST IN CLASS ALL THE THINGs. That's what keeps them expensive. e.e

The FWD PHEV will have less power (195ho) than the current Compass (200 hp) despite being bigger and weighing more?

The only way to get AWD is to get one of the two BEV versions.

In other words, no direction change regarding products....they continue going BEV on everything while the market for HEVs is growing.

The MHEV is irrelevant for the North American market, just like it was for Ram (e-torque)

I am in the midst of --attempting-- to refinance my 2023 Gladiator lease. While I wait for the dealer to get me the payoff amount, I am looking at USED Jeeps under 30,000 miles as possible trades. The level of depreciation used Jeeps show is simply shocking!

JLs, JTs and WLs that listed between $50,000 and $70,000 NEW are now in the mid 30s...before even haggling starts. Compasses are in the low 20s.

Wrangler was a perennial top-3 in resale. 4Xes are especially bad; they list in the LOW 30s. This is Land Rover-levels of depreciation.

You'd have to be out of your mind to want to buy a NEW Jeep anymore. No wonder so many Jeep customers simply choose to walk away.

I did a 0 down lease and the residual on the lease agreement is $40k. That's gonna get turned in when its up.

Laugh it up! At least I never owned a FIAT !! hahaha... :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
Touché! :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

In my defense, my Fiat is actually...a Mazda in disguise.

PS - funny though, my Fiat 124 Spider is the only two-door car I have owned that clears parking stops and sidewalks without scraping the front air dam.

They didn’t say capable, they said 100% capable. What the heck does that even mean? A FWD vehicle may have some degree of capability, but it’s not on the same level as 4WD or even AWD. Pretending otherwise is foolish.


Exactly; and a lot of people, they really don't care - they need starter vehicles more than anything else in the lineup. Especially here.
If people don’t care, then why not make it a Chrysler or Dodge instead? Those brands would be better suited for a starter vehicle, certainly not Jeep which is supposed to be premium. I guess we’ve learned nothing from the failures of the recent soft-roaders.


I NEVER got stuck in my 1987, 2.2, 5 speed Dodge Omni in snow and icy conditions.
It was capable.
I can say the same about my old Escort, and my wife’s Encore. Neither of them should be the measuring stick for what it is to be a Jeep.

They could - But they won't. Jeep has the international presence that Dodge & Chrysler don't. Why do you think the Airflow & rumored Stealth were canned in favor of the Wagoneer S?

100% capable is a meaningless statement.
What I would want... is a test drive over at Chelsea or some similar course. That convinced me that the Renegade and Compass had “Jeep bodies.” The Renegade impressed me with the punishment it could take, though I came to the conclusion that I'd want a winch as well. (The guide suggested just flooring it up the hill and letting the auto systems do the rest, and that worked on the one steep grade.)
