Jeep launched the refreshed version of the second generation of the Compass in July 2021 at the Chicago Auto Show as a 2022 model year, and the changes were massive.

Jeep had to prepare the second generation of the Compass for the European market and adapt it to the customers' needs, and that took almost three years from the moment it launched the model to the first deliveries.

While the first generation of the Compass was introduced during the DaimlerChrysler alliance, the second generation, which was unveiled for the U.S. market in November 2016, was developed with Chrysler’s new partner, Fiat.

Jeep refreshed the Compass for the 2011 model year, and besides the esthetical upgrades, it also significantly improved drivetrains, giving the SUV some off-road abilities.

Jeep tried to broaden its portfolio and introduced the 2007 Compass at the 2006 North American Motor Show for the 2007 model year, a vehicle that targeted first-time buyers.
