NEW JEEP AVENGER - ELECTRIC SUBCOMPACT CROSSOVER 2023
Produced mainly for the EV-hungry Old Continent region, the 2023 Jeep Avenger is a B-segment subcompact crossover SUV set in the American carmaker’s lineup below the rugged Renegade as the smallest vehicle offered by Jeep in Europe. Do not think it is also the cheapest, though, as the electric Jeep Avenger 1st Edition kicked off at €39,500 (around $42,382 at the current exchange rate) when order books first opened back in December 2022.
Still, Jeep is pretty adamant about boasting a successful start for the exclusive, flagship-equipped launch version of the Stellantis model that is the freshest sibling of the CMP/eCMP family. The latter also comprises known entries such as the Peugeot 208/e-2008, Opel Corsa/Mokka Electric, or the DS Automobiles DS 3 Crossback E-Tense, so the Jeep brand’s first fully electric SUV is not exactly a solo outing but rather a team effort.
Recognition may be coming, though, as the Avenger is on the seven-vehicle shortlist of the ‘Car of the Year 2023’ award, and more than 10k pre-orders have been earmarked by the 1st Edition already. Now, ahead of the Brussels Motor Show apparition (the COTY results will also come on January 13th on the premises), the U.S. automaker has announced the entire Avenger range is now up for order across Europe.
The fresh little SUV will become available in exactly four trims - Avenger, Longitude, Altitude, plus Summit. And there is enough time to make up your mind about a favorite because the first deliveries are scheduled for the second quarter of the year. Pricing details are probably also coming closer to the release date, and in the meantime, Jeep wants to boast about the model’s features.
Those include the ultra-compact dimensions (4.08 meters/160.62 in. of length), ample storage capacity (380 or 355 liters for the trunk of gasoline or EV versions, which is 13.41 cu. ft. and 12.53 cu. ft.), or the good EV range plus fast charging capability. Jeep also brags about 400 km (248.5 miles) on the WLTP cycle, and a 100-kW DC connection.
As for the EV Avenger grades, the base trim comes with full-LED headlights, a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen, and a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, plus auto A/C, HDC, Selec-Terrain, as well as connected services and various driver assistance systems. The Longitude adds stuff like 16-inch alloys, Altitude punches to 17-inch alloys, and a 10.25-inch instrument cluster, while the Summit stands taller on 18s, has full LED taillights, Level 2 autonomous drive, and many more.
Last, but not least, the Jeep Avenger – both ICE and EV – will be available with seven exterior colors (Snow, Volcano, Ruby, Sun, Lake, Granite, Stone), dual-tone liveries (solely with a Volcano roof and only on upper-level trims), five different packages, plus a myriad of exclusive accessories across four different areas - Infotainment & Functionality, Driver assistance, Style, and Comfort.
With an electric fuel range of up to 400 km in the WLTP cycle and more than 550 km in the city*. A new electric powertrain combines a unique 400-volt electric motor with 115 kilowatts and 260 Nm of maximum torque and a new 54 kWh battery.
Building on the success of the exclusive 1st Edition, a fully-equipped launch version of which 8,000 units were sold following its launch at the Paris Motor Show in October, orders can now be made on the entire Jeep Avenger range. The first deliveries are expected in the second quarter of this year.
The all-new Jeep Avenger is available at a competitive price, aimed at facilitating the transition to electric powertrains. In countries where Government incentives are in place, the new Jeep Avenger BEV will be available at an entry price below 30,000 euros.
