## Jeep's Willys Return
Jeep is developing a compact off-road SUV inspired by the iconic Willys Jeep that helped liberate Europe 80 years ago.

> The key word for Jeep in Europe is, of course, freedom. It's also adventure, it’s authenticity, and it's passion.
## European Launch Timeline
The compact off-roader isn't expected until after 2030, with no concrete launch confirmation by Stellantis.
## Willys-Inspired Design
All new Jeeps will feature four-wheel drive, using Stellantis' upcoming SLTA One architecture for powertrain flexibility.
## European Model Strategy
Jeep is preparing four new European models including the Renegade and Recon, targeting key SUV segments.
## US Market Considerations
The Willys-inspired model won't reach the US until well into the next decade due to size differences with American vehicles.
## Key takeaway

Jeep will launch a Willys-rooted compact off-road SUV in Europe by 2030, avoiding rebadged models.
