Jeep has officially revealed the third-generation Compass. The new Compass is built on Stellantis' STLA Medium platform and offers a range of electrified powertrains, including mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and fully electric (EV) options.
The new Compass boasts a bold, boxy design with Jeep's iconic seven-slot grille, sharper edges, and X-shaped taillights connected by an illuminated Jeep logo. Inside, the SUV features a modernised cabin with a 16-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10-inch digital instrument cluster, and premium touches like aluminum and wooden accents. Enhanced practicality includes 55mm more legroom, a 34-liter front storage compartment, and a 550-liter boot, up 45 liters from its predecessor.
Powertrain options are diverse. The mild-hybrid, powered by a 1.2-liter three-cylinder petrol engine with 48V technology, delivers 145bhp. The PHEV combines a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with a 125bhp electric motor for a total of 195bhp, supported by a 21kWh battery.
The electric Compass offers three variants: a front-wheel-drive model with a 73kWh battery producing 213bhp (500km WLTP range), another with a 97kWh battery and 233 horsepower (650km claimed range), and a top-tier all-wheel-drive 4xe model with 375bhp, featuring a new 179bhp rear electric motor for superior off-road capability. EV models support 160kW DC fast charging, achieving a 20-80% charge in about 30 minutes.
The Compass retains Jeep's off-road prowess, with up to 201mm ground clearance, a 27-degree approach angle, and a 470mm wading depth. Safety features include Level 2 autonomous driving, a 360-degree camera, and six airbags. Over-the-air updates ensure the vehicle stays current throughout its lifecycle.
European sales begin in Q4 2025, with a First Edition offering the 145bhp hybrid or 213bhp EV.

European plane maker ATR bullish on India; in talks with airlines
A joint venture between Airbus and Leonardo, ATR manufactures turboprops with up to 78 seats as well as freighters Press Trust of India New Delhi Bullish on the business opportunities in India, European aircraft maker ATR is in discussions with scheduled and non-scheduled operators to explore sale of its aircraft. Considering the growth potential of the Indian market, a senior ATR official said it expects the country to have 300 more turboprops in the next 10 years. A joint venture between Airbus and Leonardo, ATR manufactures turboprops with up to 78 seats as well as freighters. Currently, there are 70 ATR aircraft in the country that are operated by IndiGo, Alliance Air, and FLY91. ATR is still "very bullish" on the Indian market and is in active discussions with some of the operators, the company's Managing Director and Head of Region Asia PacificJean-Pierre Clercin told PTI in a recent interview in the national capital. Without divulging specific details, he said the company is in talks with scheduled and non-scheduled operators, including those already flying ATR aircraft. India is one of the world's fastest-growing civil aviation markets and the number of airports as well as regional air connectivity is on the rise. Efforts are on to set up 50 more airports in the country in the next five years. At present, there are more than 160 operational airports. "We are keen on exploring further ties in India...," he said, adding that the company is also looking at partnerships with universities. In India, Clercin said there is the potential to have 300 more turboprop aircraft in the next 10 years. ATR has sold 1,800 aircraft to 200 operators spread across 100 countries. About tariff uncertainties, Clercin said one cannot say what will be the outcome. "We are trying to, of course, not impose higher pricing, unrealistic pricing to our airlines. But the good thing is, with our platform, we have the most cost-effective platform from an operating cost point of view of the regional market," he noted. For a domestic market like India that has many thin routes such as those that can be reached in an hour, he said that is where operators will need a cheaper product like ATR aircraft.
