Previously, the Jeep 551 was considered as the second generation model of either the Jeep Patriot or the Jeep Compass. Since the Compass is more modern out of the two so, 551 would turn out to be more like the second-gen Jeep Compass. Even as per the latest Brazilian reports, the Jeep 551 is in actuality the second generation Jeep Compass. The production for both Jeep Patriot and the first-gen Jeep Compass is expected to be over by December 2016.
