New-Gen Jeep Compass
The first thing is that of Jeep Compass. Compass has been present in the Indian market since 2017 and at one time it has been Jeep’s most popular SUV. Its new-generation model has arrived in the global market, which is based on the STLA-M platform and is well ahead in technology.
Jeep has already indicated that heavy investment will be needed to bring this new Compass to India. Given the slow sales of the current Compass, the company does not seem to be in the mood to take such a big risk at the moment. Even though the new Compass may reinvigorate the brand, it seems a bit unlikely in the current situation.

Jeep Avenger
Avenger is Jeep’s smallest SUV and was introduced to Globally in 2023. It is available in both ICE and Electric options, making it perfect for today’s changing phase.
Avenger is based on Stellantis’s CMP platform, which has already been localized in India for models such as Citroen C3, eC3 and Aircross. This is why assembling Avenger in India can be much easier and economical than Compass.
Due to the length being less than 4.1 meters, it can be positioned as a sub-compact SUV. Its AWD technology and multiple powertrain options can give it a distinct identity in the segment.

Jeep Wagoneer S and Recon
Another interesting route to Jeep can be through Electric SUVs. Both Jeep Wagoneer S and Jeep Recon are based on the STLA Large platform and show the strength of the brand in terms of technology.
Wagoneer S targets more premium customers, designed by Grand Cherokee and Grand Wagoneer. Recon is for those who like lifestyle and off-roading. Wrangler-style removable doors and open-air feel make it special.
