Jeep Loses Compass and Patriot

5-2014-jeep-compass-brilliant-black

Jeep is getting some major changes moving forward. Chrysler is putting forward a five-year plan that is meant to trim the fat and put their best foot forward to make their brand one of the top ones across the globe. Sadly, that means some tough choices will be made. Jeep will be losing some members of the family as a part of the plan.

The Jeep Compass and Patriot will be discontinued come 2016. The reasoning behind this move is that both Jeeps are compact SUVs and instead of putting the resources into two similar vehicles to put all that into a single compact SUV.

The plan did not reveal what the name of this replacement Jeep is going to be. The plant and production of where both Jeeps are being produced will have their resources shifted to making an all-new Chrysler 100. In the meantime, there is speculation of what the new Jeep could be without any real concrete evidence pointing to any name or build. One thing that is know will be the new Jeep will be using the CUSW (Compact US Wide) platform the company has already used for the 2013 Dodge Dart.
