It is no coincidence that the 2018 Jeep Compass was spied in Brazil as it will the venue for its official debut later this month or early October and will likely be seen in the US at Los Angeles Auto Show on November. Then the Jeep Compass will hit the market early next year.
Early reports say that the FCA group is still unsure on what name to give this mini SUV. The company is choosing either Compass or Patriot and it seems that Compass was now chosen because it is more familiar to buyers around the globe.The images under the light of day without camouflage also clearly shows that Compass was the chosen name as it is plastered on the flanks of the vehicle as well as on the side of the doors.
The exterior of the new Jeep Compass looks like a 'baby Grand Cherokee'. Aesthetically it is a very interesting product because it keeps intact all the powerful image of a Jeep but encapsulated it in a smaller, more versatile product with exclusive elements such as contrast black roof and chrome on both the grill and the rest of the body.
It is also confirm that the 2018 Jeep Compass will be using jeep Renagade platform having the same engines, transmissions and other items.
