Next-gen Jeep Compass, arriving in 2026, embraces electrification on Stellantis' STLA Medium platform, offering versatility and sustainability in India's market.
The automotive landscape in India is set to undergo a transformative shift as the next generation of the iconic Jeep Compass SUV gears up for its debut in 2026. Codenamed J4U, the upcoming model will roll out on Stellantis' cutting-edge STLA Medium platform, offering a versatile foundation accommodating internal combustion engines (ICE) as well as all-electric powertrains.
Stellantis' STLA Medium platform, introduced in July last year, takes center stage in the evolution of the Jeep Compass. The platform is engineered with electrification at its core, providing flexibility for both front-wheel-drive and 4WD configurations. Offering a range of battery sizes, including an impressive 98kWh variant, the all-new Compass Electric is assured to deliver a range of over 700 km, marking a significant leap in the electric vehicle landscape.
The STLA Medium platform boasts a 400-Volt electric architecture, consuming less than 14kWh per 100km. Charging efficiency is a notable feature, with a 20-80 percent charge achievable in just 27 minutes, equating to a rapid rate of 2.4kWh per minute. The platform supports electric motors ranging from 218hp to 388hp, promising an exhilarating driving experience.
Alongside the electric powertrain, the next-gen Jeep Compass is anticipated to offer turbo-petrol and diesel engine options, though the specific units are yet to be confirmed by the automaker.

Beyond the Jeep brand, Stellantis' sister brand, Citroen, is also expected to leverage the STLA Medium platform for its next-generation models. The modular nature of the platform allows for varying lengths and wheelbases, providing a foundation for a diverse range of vehicles in the C- and D-segments. This strategic move aims to consolidate synergies and also streamline the production for both brands in the Indian market.

In a noteworthy development, the reports also suggest the potential comeback of the Fiat brand in India. Utilizing the STLA M platform, reintroducing Fiat becomes an incremental investment for Stellantis. The group, with its three manufacturing plants in India, is evaluating the commercial viability and market positioning of reviving the Fiat nameplate, known for its historical presence in the Indian automotive market.

As the automotive industry navigates the electric frontier, the introduction of the next-gen Jeep Compass with an all-electric variant underscores a commitment to sustainability and technological advancement. Stellantis' STLA Medium platform not only shapes the future of Jeep but also sets the stage for Citroen's next-gen models and, potentially, the return of the Fiat brand to the Indian roads. The electrification wave is sweeping through the industry, and the Jeep Compass promises to be a pivotal player in India's evolving automotive landscape.
