THE JEEP BRAND INTRODUCES THE LATEST evolution of its successful Compass, a C-SUV that has won over 2.5 million customers worldwide since its debut in 2006. The new Compass is set to redefine expectations in the most competitive passenger car segment, which accounts for almost a quarter of the total European market.
Built to embody the Jeep brand’s hallmark capability, ruggedness, and distinctive attitude, the new Compass blends versatility with state-of-the-art technology. The brand’s most globally available model, productions and sales begin in Europe, before expanding to other markets from there.
Production remains in the heart of Italy at the Melfi plant, reinforcing Jeep’s commitment to localized European manufacturing. Recognized for its cutting-edge automation and sustainability-focused operations, Melfi plays a strategic role in Stellantis’ electrification roadmap.
The Jeep brand’s ambitious vision is reflected in its strong growth trajectory. In 2024, the brand sold 132,000 units across Europe, led by the success of the Avenger, which accounted for almost 80,000 units. Jeep’s market presence continues to strengthen, with notable gains beyond Italy, where sales across the rest of Europe surged by nearly 10 percentage points in 2024 with the UK market tripling sales and key markets such as France and the Netherlands multiplying sales by 1.5 against 2023. The first months of 2025 confirm this positive trend with a market share of 1.1 percent.
Fabio Catone, Head of Jeep Brand in Enlarged Europe, remarked, ” The new Jeep Compass boldly represents the brand’s forward-thinking philosophy, highlighting our dedication to not only meeting today’s market demands but also anticipating tomorrow’s opportunities. This vehicle is the perfect expression of the Jeep ruggedness and performance, delivering state-of-the-art solutions while preserving our commitment to electrification and sustainability. Crafted for outdoor adventures yet perfect for everyday use, the new Jeep Compass stands as a powerful testament to our relentless pursuit of innovation and versatility, designed to meet the diverse needs of customers around the world”.
