2017 Jeep Compass spotted again

A couple of new spy shots of the Jeep Compass have surfaced on the internet, showing the upcoming premium compact SUV's front and rear. The Compass was recently spotted during a TVC shoot in Brazil. However, the new spy shots, reportedly taken in China, provide the best view yet of the all-new model.

Jeep has successfully kept most of the details about the Compass SUV under wraps. Hence, not much information is available at present. Reports suggest that the Compass will share its platform with the Renegade, and will be positioned between the Renegade and the Grand Cherokee in the company’s portfolio.

Powering the Jeep Compass will be a 2.0-litre petrol engine, which will feature flex-fuel capability for the Brazilian market. Additionally, a 2.0-litre MultiJet diesel engine will also be on offer. Transmission duties will be handled by a 6-speed manual and a 9-speed automatic unit.

The Jeep Compass is expected to be unveiled later this month. It will be manufactured at FCA's assembly plant in Pernambuco, Brazil. It will then make it to China, where FCA will be producing the Compass under its Joint Venture with Guangzhou Automobile Group. Eventually, FCA is also expected to bring the Compass to India, where it will be locally assembled at FCA's plant in Ranjangaon, Maharashtra.
