The All-Electric Jeep Avenger is Going to Paris
At the upcoming Paris Motor Show, Jeep has confirmed that the all-electric Avenger will make it debut.
Fiat Chrysler Automobilia (FCA), like every other automaker, has grand plans for going all-electric by 2035. Manufacturers are rolling out EVs left and right, and Jeep is no different — with the Wrangler 4xE, an all-electric Wrangler BEV was unveiled at the Easter Jeep Safari, the Grand Cherokee is available in a 4xE configuration, and Jeep is also working on solar powered charging. Jeep, recognizing that the Wrangler isn’t the only popular Jeep, confirmed a smaller, compact all-electric 4xE SUV in the form of the Avenger.
The Avenger, Jeep says, is targeted toward the European market that wants something compact, capable, and clean. In Europe, there are already two plug-in hybrid variants in the Compass and the Renegade – making the Avenger a new addition next to the Grand Cherokee 4xE. The range, though, isn’t stellar. In testing so far, the average distance the Avenger has been able to travel is only about 250-342 miles.
“The new Jeep Avenger spearheads the introduction of a portfolio of all-new Jeep BEVs in Europe,” says Christian Meunier, Jeep brand CEO. “It offers Jeep brand capability that is rightsized for the market and during its introduction at the Paris Motor Show, we’ll showcase why it is a great all-electric Jeep brand alternative to current players in the segment. The Jeep Avenger is a milestone for our growth plans in key European markets, such as France, and on our path to becoming the leading zero-emission SUV brand in the world.”
The rest of the technician details are yet to be revealed, but it’s set to be assembled in Stellantis’ Polish plant. As soon as it’s unveiled, customers in Italy, Germany, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands will be able to place orders. The UK will be able to in January of 2023. As of right now, it’s unclear as to whether or not it will be available in the US.
