Stellantis Shifts Jeep Compass Production to Illinois

Stellantis has confirmed plans to move production of its Jeep Compass SUV from Brampton, Ontario, to its newly reopened Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois.

The decision follows months of uncertainty after production in Canada was paused earlier this year due to escalating U.S. trade tensions and tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.

“As part of this announcement, we will move one model from Canada to the U.S.,”

Stellantis announced a $13 billion investment to expand its U.S. manufacturing footprint, with over $600 million going toward reopening and upgrading the Belvidere facility, expected to create roughly 3,300 new jobs by 2027.

This move raises concerns for Canadian auto jobs.
