The all-new 2026 Jeep Compass is the biggest reinvention in the model's history: a bigger, bolder, fully electrified family SUV that Europe gets first, while the United States keeps the old car for now. In this footage-first review we walk every inch of it, from the reinvented seven-slot face and slim LED lights to the overhauled twin-screen cabin, and then we ask the one question that really matters, whether it still feels like a Jeep now that it shares its bones with the Peugeot 3008.
Under the skin, the Compass sits on the same STLA Medium platform as the Peugeot 3008, Opel Grandland and Citroen C5 Aircross, and it is electrified across the board. The entry e-Hybrid pairs a 1.2-litre turbo three-cylinder with a small electric motor for 145 PS and a six-speed automatic, reaching 100 km/h in about 10.3 seconds. Above it sit a plug-in hybrid with 225 PS and around 85 km of electric range, and a full-electric Compass with up to about 500 km of range, rising to a claimed 650 km on the long-range battery and 375 PS in twin-motor all-wheel-drive form. The cabin is a big step up, with a large central touchscreen on Stellantis's newest software, a clean digital driver's display and a genuinely roomy back seat on a 2.8-metre wheelbase.
The honest part: the entry 145 PS three-cylinder feels stretched once you leave town, and reviewers agree the Compass does not ride quite as well as the cheaper Peugeot 3008 it is based on. So you are paying a Jeep premium for the badge, the design and the 550-litre boot rather than for the way it drives.
SPECS AT A GLANCE
- Platform: STLA Medium (shared with Peugeot 3008, Opel Grandland)
- Entry engine: 1.2-litre turbo petrol, 48-volt e-Hybrid, 145 PS
- Gearbox: 6-speed e-DCT automatic, front-wheel drive
- 0-100 km/h: about 10.3 seconds (e-Hybrid)
- Electric range: PHEV about 85 km · EV up to about 500 km (up to 650 km long-range)
- EV power: up to 375 PS (twin-motor all-wheel drive)
- Boot: up to 550 litres
- Price (Switzerland): e-Hybrid from CHF 37,990 · PHEV from CHF 42,990 · EV from CHF 45,990
THE ONE TO BUY: the e-Hybrid First Edition, the boldest and most modern Compass, from CHF 37,990.
SKIP IT IF: you want a true rough-road Jeep or the last word in ride comfort, in which case the Peugeot 3008 or the roomier Kia Sportage makes more sense for the money.
Filmed at a European showroom, so the car on screen wears European-market trim, and pricing is the Swiss showroom figure. The all-new Compass is not yet sold in the United States.
