With a wheelbase of 2.90 meters (approximately 114 inches), this crossover offers generous legroom for all occupants, ensuring a pleasurable journey for long distances. A new innovative Easy Access system facilitates effortless entry to the third row.

With a range of seating configurations and a trunk volume of up to 1,815 liters (approximately 64 cubic feet), the E-5008 adapts effortlessly to accommodate passengers and cargo, making it the perfect size crossover for most families.

A Glimpse at the Future Jeep® Compass –

Drawing inspiration from Peugeot’s innovative design and electrification efforts, the next-generation Compass is expected to offer similar spaciousness, efficiency, and advanced technology.

The announcement of a $1.32 billion CDN investment in the Brampton Assembly Plant signifies Jeep’s commitment to producing cutting-edge vehicles on the STLA Medium platform. This investment will enable the plant to retool and update its facilities, ensuring the seamless production of the next-generation Compass and positioning it as a leader in the utility market.
