The so-called B-SUV segment is the second largest in Europe in terms of volume. In 2023, the B- SUV segment is expected to reach an annual total of 2.2 million sales, which accounts for one in five vehicles sold in Europe. The new Avenger is positioned under Renegade complementing the Jeep brand offering, in the B-SUV segment. Jeep predicts it will be its best-selling model in Europe by 2024.

“The new Jeep Avenger represents a key milestone for the brand as it is the first of a portfolio of all-new Jeep BEVs to be introduced in Europe.” said Christian Meunier, Jeep brand CEO. “It offers Jeep brand capability that is rightsized for the European market and at the Paris Motor Show, we are showcasing why it is a great all-electric Jeep brand alternative to current players in the B-SUV segment.”
Starting today through November 30, there is a pre-booking sale for Jeep Avenger 1st Edition. Jeep said it is “an exclusive, fully equipped and full electric, eye-catching configuration which in Italy and Spain only will also be available with a turbo petrol engine. It is a ‘can’t-miss’ opportunity as those who express their interest online through the pre-booking will be the first ones able to order it and, therefore, drive it.”
The Jeep Avenger 1st Edition has a two-tone paint – Sun with Volcano roof or Granite with Volcano roof—or full Volcano and has privacy glass, 18-inch alloy wheels and front and rear full LED lights. The interior includes multi-color ambient light and a yellow dashboard fascia; premium heated black seats with yellow accents; a heated windshield; a pad cover for the central console; a height adjustable cargo floor and hands-free power liftgate.
Jeep Avenger is equipped with a new generation 400 Volt electric propulsion system which combines a new electric motor and a new battery. Using a 100 kW Mode 4 cable in direct current connected to fast public charge, three minutes of charge is enough to provide travel distance of 30 km. Taking the batteries to 80% charge requires 24 minutes if you start at 20%.
The second-generation 400 Volt electric powertrain is the first one to be launched by Emotors, a joint venture between Stellantis and Nidec Leroy-Somer Holding. It supplies 115 kW, corresponding to 156 horsepower, and 260 Nm of maximum torque.
The new 54 kWh battery, also produced by Stellantis, has a claimed “high-energy density and an excellent ratio between nominal and usable energy.” The battery pack is made up of 17 modules and 102 cells using NMC 811 Lithium-Ion chemistry. It is rated at 400 km of range in the WLTP cycle, which becomes 550 km in the urban cycle*.
The battery, which was tested for over 2 million kilometers, is extremely compact, non-intrusive and is found under the front and rear seats and the central tunnel. Furthermore, it is protected by a high ground clearance and underbody skid plates during off-road driving.
*Electric energy consumption Jeep® Avenger full-electric range kWh/100km: 15.9; CO2 emission g/km: 0. Values defined according to the WLTP combined cycle, measured by the manufacturer on pre-approval tests and which may be subject to change following final type approval. The values indicated are for comparative purposes. Important: the actual electric energy consumption values may be strongly different and may vary depending upon the conditions of use and on various factors such as: options, frequency of electric recharge per travelled kilometers, ambient temperature, driving style, speed, total weight, use of certain equipment (air conditioning, heating, radio, navigation, lights), tire types and conditions, road conditions, external climatic conditions.
