Jeep Compass is the most successful product from the iconic US automaker in the Indian market. The Jeep Compass was launched in India in April 2017. Since then, the SUV has not received a significant update. Now, the automaker is gearing up to launch the next generation Jeep Compass SUV globally.
Jeep released a teaser image of the third generation Compass recently, which gave us a faint idea about the upcoming iteration of the SUV. The carmaker has already confirmed that it will be launched soon in Europe. Considering that Jeep Compass is a key product from the brand in India, expect it to launch in the country sometime later in 2025.
