Re: Jeep Compass to go all electric in 2025 New Jeep Compass 2025 will have electric version and platform of Peugeot 3008.
Production of the new generation will start in 2025 at the Melfi plant in Italy. Quote:
Compass will leave the current Small Wide base and be built on the modern STLA Medium platform. The architecture has just debuted in the new-generation Peugeot 3008 and will be adopted by a number of mid-size models from the Stellantis group. It represents significant technical and dynamic advances, and can support traditional, hybrid and electric powertrains.

At this point, it is already certain that the future Compass will be sold in all-EV variant.
The Italian factory in Melfi, responsible for producing the model for the whole of Europe, is already being prepared to receive the new platform and will assemble the new model from 2025. From the same plant (and from the same base) will also come other EV vehicles, such as the successor to the Opel Insignia, unprecedented DS crossover and a Lancia equivalent called Aurelia.
The 2025 Compass will continue with global commercial reach, which indicates that it will also be offered with traditional diesel and gasoline engines in some regions. It should be remembered that electrification is still expensive and many markets are still lagging behind in the transition process. In practice, it will be the same strategy adopted by the Avenger, sold both as electric and equipped with 1.2 turbo gasoline engine.
It is also certain that the Compass will be much larger and will assume the role of Jeep's medium SUV, with a design aligned with the already known philosophy of the model. Link
