The Jeep Compass, which is the US brand's most globally-available model, has been given a complete redesign for 2025.
Built around the STLA Medium platform, the new Compass shares its bones with other Stellantis SUV products such as the Peugeot 3008 and 5008, and it will be available with hybrid and electric drivetrains.
Despite this, the blocky exterior design is very much in keeping with Jeep's contemporary design language.
Built in Italy, the new Compass will be launched in European markets first, before being rolled out to other global markets in due course.
The Compass has a ground clearance of up to 200mm.

Maserati ready to present new business plan soon, says CEO Ficili
Maserati plans to present a new business plan shortly, soon after parent company Stellantis' new CEO Antonio Filosa starts in his job later this month, the head of the struggling luxury carmaker said on Thursday. The loss-making Italian brand, the only one in the luxury segment for the world's fourth largest carmaker, has no new model launches scheduled now, with Stellantis reviewing Maserati's strategies after a previous business plan was put on hold last year. Maserati CEO Santo Ficili said the plan was being finalised and would not just include new products but also redesign relations with dealers and the assistance network. 'We have clear ideas about what we want to do, we hope we can be ready soon,' Ficili said at the Motor Valley Fest in Modena, where Maserati is headquartered. 'Let's wait for Antonio to take up his

More than 500 jobs at risk in Italy as Stellantis changes oil supplier
More than 500 jobs are at risk in Italy after carmaker Stellantis changed its oil supplier from a local brand owned by Malaysia's Petronas to France's Total, a trade union said on Wednesday. Stellantis was not immediately available for comment. Petronas owns the Selenia brand of motor oils, an Italian supplier which was previously part of the Fiat group and marketed products including under the 'Olio Fiat' name. Stellantis was created in 2021 from the merger of Fiat-Chrysler with France's PSA, maker of Peugeot and Citroen cars. The group also includes Opel and Jeep. Selenia lost its 'historic' supply contract with Stellantis after 112 years of production, the Uilm union said. The change resulted from the outcome of a competitive tender. Petronas announced it in a meeting with employees, Uilm added, saying this compromised job security for 450 workers in Fiat's hometown of Turin and 70 in Naples, in the south. The union pledged to use 'all available tools' to protect the Petronas workers and other auto suppliers who are 'under heavy stress' due to Stellantis' decisions. Stellantis is Italy's sole major carmaker, and last year its production in the country fell to about 475,000 vehicles, the lowest level since 1956, the FIM-CISL union said in January.

Jeep Cherokee with electrification after short hiatus
The American market has seen the first glimpse of the all-new Jeep Cherokee, which the automaker claims boasts modern features and hybrid power and will arrive on showroom floors this year. Looking for a new or used Jeep? Find it here with CARmag! Jeep has given the world a first look at the all-new SUV and is thus set to reintroduce the Cherokee in 2025. Like those that have come before it, it plans on referencing its heritage, albeit now with electrified power. This revival aims to fill the gap left since the model's discontinuation in 2023, positioning the Cherokee between the Compass and Grand Cherokee in the line-up. 'The all-new Jeep Cherokee headlines our efforts to deliver more product, innovation, choice and standard content to customers than ever before,' said Jeep CEO Bob Broderdorf. Speaking of which, the 2025 Cherokee will offer a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. A plug-in hybrid variant is also in the wings and that will combine a 2.0-litre petrol mill with an electric motor, delivering between 200 and 220kW and an estimated electric-only range of up to 80km. Fuel efficiency is expected to be low, but nothing has been confirmed yet. Related: Review: Omoda C7 SHS Keeping with the Jeep design ethos, the new Cherokee adopts a more squared-off design, featuring Jeep's signature seven-slot grille and LED headlights. Inside, it boasts a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen with Uconnect 5, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an available 12.3-inch digital driver display. Safety features include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking. Pricing in its home market will be between $38 000 and $52 000 (approximately R680 000 and R932 000). The 2025 Jeep Cherokee is expected to be unveiled later this year, with sales commencing before the end of 2025. At this time, Stellantis have not shared whether it is on the cards for the South African market, since it is only destined for North America.
