New Jeep Compact SUV – 1st Spy Image & Expected Details

With an aim to tap the growing compact SUV segment, Jeep is planning to bring in a new model that will be based on the modified Renegade platform. The model is likely to make its world debut towards the end of this year and its India launch could happen next year. The company has begun testing the vehicle, which was recently caught on camera with heavy camouflage. The prototype features a wide front grille, raised bonnet and black alloy wheels.

The American SUV-maker has already confirmed that the new Jeep compact SUV will have AWD (all-wheel drive) setup. This will make it the first car in its segment to offer AWD system. The model is claimed to be “an off-road capable version”. Interestingly, Jeep is considering its electrification for adding AWD functionality as it has done in the Europe-spec Compass 4Xe and Renegade 4Xe.

The plug-in-hybrid SUVs feature a 1.3L turbocharged petrol engine delivering power to the front wheels. The electric motor, which is mounted on the rear axle, pushes out a peak power of 190bhp and 240Nm of torque. The new Jeep SUV is likely to come with such similar solution. Furthermore, electrification will enable the carmaker meet the more stringent emission standards. However, the new technology will come at a significant cost.  

Rumour has it that Jeep might use Citroen’s heavily localised 1.2L turbo petrol engine that will power the upcoming Citroen C3 hatchback. The gasoline unit makes power close to 130bhp. More details on the new Jeep compact SUV are likely to be revealed in near future.

In other updates, the American SUV-maker announced to have an electric option in all its cars by as early as 2025. The upcoming Jeep electric SUVs will be designed on dedicated EV platforms and have range between 300 miles (483kms) to 500 miles (804kms).
