The Jeep Avenger is a subcompact crossover SUV (B-segment)[3] [4] produced by Jeep since January 2023 mainly for the European market.[5] Based on the Common Modular Platform closely shared with the second-generation Peugeot 2008 and positioned below the Renegade, it is the smallest vehicle offered by Jeep.

The "Avenger" nameplate has previously been used by Chrysler, previous parent company of Jeep on two previous occasions, namely the Dodge Avenger (a North American product) on sale between 1994 and 2000, then 2008–2014; and before that on the Hillman Avenger (built by Chrysler's long defunct European division) in the 1970s.

Overview

The Avenger was presented on 8 September 2022 and at the 2022 Paris Motor Show in October.[6] [7] It is offered with mild hybrid and battery electric models. It uses the STLA Small platform, a development from the CMP platform (eCMP for the electric model) originally developed by the PSA Group, and shared with the Peugeot 2008, Opel Mokka and DS 3 Crossback.[8] [9] [10]

The Avenger offers a 200mm ground clearance, 20 degrees of approach angle, and 32 degrees of departure angle. It is also equipped with Jeep's "Selec-Terrain" drive mode (with Normal, Eco, Sport, Snow, Mud, and Sand modes) and Hill Descent Control.

Designed in Italy and manufactured in Poland,[11] the Avenger is primarily marketed in Europe, with sales in Turkey, Morocco, Japan and South Korea also planned.[12] It is not available in the United States, Canada, and China. Deliveries to customers started in early 2023, with Jeep targeting annual production of 110,000 units.

Avenger EV

The battery electric version was available before the petrol-powered model, and is the sole version of the Avenger in most markets. It is equipped with a 400 V front-mounted electric motor manufactured by Emotors, producing 1560NaN0 and 260abbr=onNaNabbr=on of torque. Equipped with a 54 kWh battery, the Avenger EV offers a WLTP range of up to 400-1NaN-1 (550-1NaN-1 in urban cycle).[13]

Avenger 4xe

The four-wheel-drive version of the Avenger was preceded by the Jeep Avenger 4xe concept car, (alternatively referred to as the Avenger 4x4[14] [15]) presented at the 2022 Paris Motor Show in October.[16] It is distinguished by more off-road customization elements (fender wideners, towing hooks, tyres, roof loading system) and by a heightening of .[17] [18]

The production version was introduced in February 2024 as the Avenger 4xe, which is powered by a 1.2-litre mild hybrid powertrain.[19] It has two 210NaN0 electric motors mounted on the rear axle and the 6-speed dual-clutch transmission.
