The Jeep Compass is a compact crossover SUV, introduced in 2006 for the 2007 model year. The first generation Compass and Patriot, its rebadged variant, were among Jeep’s first crossover SUVs.
The second-generation Compass debuted in September 2016 in Brazil and at the Los Angeles International Auto Show in November 2016, sharing a modified platform with the Renegade.

In November 2023, Stellantis announced that North American production of the next-generation Compass would take place at the Brampton Plant in Ontario, Canada, while European production will take place at the Stellantis plant in Melfi, Italy. Stellantis also confirmed that the third-generation Compass is based on the STLA Medium platform, which underpins several Stellantis vehicles, including the Peugeot 5008 and the Opel Grandland.
On October 14, 2025, Stellantis announced that production of the North American, third-generation Compass (J4U) would be moved to the Belvidere Assembly Plant, with production starting in December 2027 for the 2028 model year. The North American Compass (J4U) will launch with the 2.0-liter Hurricane 4 EVO turbo four-cylinder engine, while the hybrid version will come later with the setup from the Jeep Cherokee, the 1.6-liter EP6CDTX turbo four-cylinder engine.
