Jeep has officially unveiled the third-generation Compass in Europe, and it's set to arrive in Australia from mid-2026.
With a bold new design, more interior space, and a range of electrified powertrains including mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and full-electric (EV) options, the 2026 Jeep Compass is poised to become a top contender in the fast-growing compact SUV market.
