The compact SUV segment is booming at this moment in time and just when you thought that the point of saturation has been reached, a new model comes to the fore. There’s always space for one more, right?

Our spy photographers have snapped images of a new compact Jeep SUV dressed in heavy camouflage. It’s name is unknown (for now) andthe design details are well hidden, but the model will slot in beneath the Renegade in the firm’s lineup and features a compact footprint with short overhangs, roof rails, roof spoiler, hidden rear door handles an an exhaust tailpipe, which implies that the new model will be powered by an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE).

A compact Jeep SUV will have its work cut out as it joins a very competitive segment.

Under Stellantis, the new Jeep compact SUV will be built on PSA’s Common Modular Platform (CMP) which is dedicated to small vehicles (A,B,C segments) and can accommodate both ICE vehicles as well as Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). This platform currently underpins cars such as the new Opel Corsa and Mokka as well as the Peugeot 208.

Production of the new Jeep compact SUV is expected to take place in Tychy, Poland, and this is also where the equivalent Alfa Romeo Brennero and Fiat 500X replacement will be produced.

As far as powertrains are concerned, nothing is confirmed yet, but the new Jeep compact SUV is expected to be offered in both ICE, hybrid and EV guise, depending on the market. It’s not inconceivable that the new Opel Mokka’s powertrains will be used which includes 2 petrol engines, 1 diesel engine and an all-electric setup which powers the Mokka-e.

We expect a reveal before the end of 2022 or early in 2023 and we will keep you updated as soon as more details are revealed.
