Jeep’s 2025
Achievements and the Road Ahead
Jeep enters 2026 with
a sense of pride and resilience in an increasingly competitive European market.
Fabio Catone, Head of Jeep Europe, shared his thoughts on the brand's success:
“2025 has been a year of solid results for Jeep, a year where we reaffirmed
our unique value proposition. Our success stems from a clear commitment to
offer vehicles that blend outstanding off-road capabilities with everyday
usability —designed for outdoor adventure but fully capable for everyday
life. Each Jeep product is engineered with one simple yet powerful objective in
mind: to embody capability, robustness, safety, attitude, and versatility, all
in one package.”
This philosophy has
shaped Jeep’s approach to both product development and customer satisfaction,
ensuring that its vehicles continue to resonate with European drivers, whether
they’re navigating rugged landscapes or busy city streets. While the European
automotive landscape remains highly competitive, Jeep has not only maintained
its market share but has also experienced growth. Despite significant product
renewals across the industry, Jeep’s performance has remained strong,
holding a 1% passenger cars market share and a 1.8% share of the SUV market.
Notably, Jeep achieved double-digit sales growth in several key markets, with the
UK seeing a +17% increase, Austria growing by +39%, and Portugal experiencing
the most significant rise at +48%.
A crucial factor
behind this success has been the Avenger, Jeep’s first all-electric SUV, which
launched to tremendous acclaim. With over 235,000 units sold since its
introduction, the Avenger has proven to be a game-changer in the B-SUV segment.
It embodies the very essence of the Jeep brand—combining rugged off-road
capability with modern, eco-friendly design. The Avenger lineup offers a
variety of powertrain options, including petrol, e-Hybrid, Full Electric, and
4xe hybrid variants, making it a versatile choice for European customers. In
fact, the Avenger has become one of the top 10 most-sold B-SUVs in Europe and
is already expanding into 62 countries worldwide, with South America set to
join the map next year. As Fabio Catone puts it, “Our goal for 2026 is not
only to maintain this momentum but to build upon it. With a complete Avenger
lineup, including the latest Black edition, the all-New Compass, and the
Wagoneer S, we are fully prepared to tackle the challenges ahead.”
The Avenger Black Edition: A New Era of
Personalization
One of the stars of the Brussels Motor Show is
undoubtedly the Avenger Black Edition, which introduces a bold new aesthetic to
Jeep’s already dynamic Avenger lineup. Following the success of the Avenger,
which has seen a phenomenal uptake across Europe, the Black Edition brings an
elevated level of style and sophistication to the table. Based on the popular
Altitude trim, this version features exclusive black design elements that
enhance its rugged yet refined character. From today, orders for the Avenger
Black Edition are now open.

The Black Edition comes equipped with black Jeep and
Avenger logos, black 17” alloy wheels, and a black center console bezel that
adds to its distinctive, monochromatic appeal. But the real innovation lies in
the details. The vehicle also features privacy glass and a host of advanced
technology, including Hill Descent Control, Selec-Terrain with six drive modes,
and a 10.25” digital cluster. Inside, the cabin reflects Jeep’s commitment to
comfort and durability with premium cloth-vinyl seats, while the exterior
boasts fog lamps for added functionality.
Optional features, such as the JBL premium audio
system and Winter Pack (with heated windshield and seats), Navigation system
& Hands-free power liftgate, ensure that the Black Edition delivers on both
style and substance, making it the ideal choice for those seeking a vehicle
that is as rugged as it is refined.
The New Jeep Compass Lineup: Innovation Meets
Adventure
Jeep’s Compass has been a global success story since
its launch in 2006, with over 2.5 million units sold worldwide. For 2026, the
Compass lineup is taking a giant leap forward, combining Jeep’s iconic off-road
capability with state-of-the-art electrification and technology. After
launching the e-Hybrid and Full Electric versions, the new Compass e-Hybrid
Plug-in and Compass 4xe represent the pinnacle of this evolution, offering
drivers more choices than ever before in how they experience Jeep’s legendary
performance.

Jeep’s Compass e-Hybrid Plug-In brings a new level of
efficiency to the table, offering a 225hp system that blends petrol and
electric power for an optimal balance of performance and fuel efficiency. With
a range of more than 90 km in the combined cycle and more than 100km in city on
electric power alone, the e-Hybrid Plug-in allows emissions-free driving, while
the powertrain ensures longer journeys can be tackled with ease thanks to the 983km
total range. The Compass also integrates Selec-Terrain®, which adapts the
vehicle’s driving dynamics to different conditions, from snow and sand to mud,
introducing for the e-Hybrid Plug-in the dedicated ELECTRIC mode.
With orders now open for the Compass e-Hybrid Plug-in,
Jeep continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible, making it easier for
drivers to experience the legendary Jeep capability with a more sustainable
future in mind.
The new Compass 4xe, the pinnacle of the range, offers
impressive updates that make it an even more capable off-roader. With a 10mm
higher suspension for better ground clearance, as well as rugged off-road
bumpers that improve approach, departure, and breakover angles, the Compass 4xe
is ready to tackle any terrain. The vehicle is equipped with modular black
bumpers, anti-glare matte stickers, and higher sidewall tires that improve
traction on slippery surfaces, ensuring it is built for adventure. On top of
that, the 4xe version will bring a further step forward in performance thanks
to the new rear e-motor developed exclusively for Jeep Compass, capable of
delivering 132 kW and up to 3100 Nm at the rear wheels (as the result of the
combination of the 232Nm of the rear electric motor multiplied with the 14:1
reductor), ensuring outstanding traction. Inside, the Compass 4xe features
practical, durable materials that stand up to the demands of outdoor
enthusiasts, such as polyurethane-coated seat fabric that is twice as resistant
to wear and tear and easy to clean.

Wagoneer S: Jeep’s Full Electric
Flagship in the D-Segment – Style, Speed, and Sophistication in Motion
Rounding out Jeep’s exciting Motor Show lineup is the
Wagoneer S, the brand’s first-ever global full-electric vehicle (BEV). This
stunning electric flagship combines performance, and cutting-edge technology,
setting a new benchmark for Jeep’s future. With 600 horsepower and an
impressive 0-100 kph acceleration in just 3.5 seconds, the Wagoneer S redefines
what’s possible in the D-segment of electric SUVs. Equipped with ultra-fast
charging capabilities—20% to 80% in just 23 minutes, this BEV is built for the
modern driver who seeks both exceptional performance and sustainable innovation.
To ensure fast and convenient charging, the Wagoneer S
is equipped with a 400-volt, 100.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack with 131Ah
cells. At the core of its propulsion system are the front and rear
Stellantis-designed electric drive modules (EDMs), each with a 250-kW rating.
These provide standard electric 4x4 propulsion and instant torque, while
combining the electric motor, gearing, and power electronics into one compact,
highly efficient unit. The vehicle also includes Jeep's exclusive Selec-Terrain
traction management system, offering five driving modes: Auto, Sport, Eco,
Snow, and Sand.
For audiophiles seeking premium sound quality, the
Wagoneer S offers a segment-exclusive partnership with McIntosh, delivering a
custom-tuned 19-speaker audio system. Powered by a 1,160-watt amplifier and a
12-inch subwoofer for deep bass, this high-performance sound system creates an
immersive listening experience that makes it feel as though passengers are in a
recording studio with their favorite artists. Leading the way in its class, the
Wagoneer S boasts more than 45 inches of high-definition sculpted screen space.
It features a segment-exclusive 10.25-inch front passenger interactive display
that connects directly to the Uconnect 5 system, allowing the front passenger
to provide navigation assistance with a simple touch.
New Compass TV Spot: A Celebration of Adventure
Jeep’s new Compass TV spot humorously exposes the
trend of "adventurer wannabes" by contrasting them with the real
deal—the Jeep Compass. The ad features a family and customers trying to “dirty
up” their SUVs, all while singing Freddie Mercury's "The Great
Pretender." The scene shifts when the new, confident Compass enters
the picture, challenging the faux ruggedness of the other SUVs. The spot
highlights Jeep’s authentic adventure spirit with humor and irony, reminding
viewers that true adventure isn’t just about appearance, it’s a way of life. Watch

in the brand's electrification strategy and freedom of choice, reinforcing its
