Jeep Avenger EV 2025: Earlier last month, Jeep showcased the Avenger EV – the brand’s smallest SUV yet – for the first time at 4xe Day 2022.
Now, the American carmaker has revealed the powertrain and range details of the Avenger EV as well as the interiors.
It will first launch in Europe in the first half of 2023 and will be the first vehicle to use Stellantis’ STLA small platform.
- The Avenger EV will have a range of up to 550 km on the WLTP cycle.
- It will be available as two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive.
- After the EV SUV, three more SUVs will be launched for Europe by 2025.
Feature & Tech
The cabin of the Jeep Avenger takes a minimalistic approach. The yellow insert in the middle of the dashboard breaks the monotony of the all-black color scheme, along with the aircon vents, ambient lighting, and the 10.25-inch touch screen infotainment system.
In addition, the driver display is fully digital, and the front seats are electrically operated.
The Avenger has 34 liters of front storage, most of which is located centrally due to the absence of a transmission tunnel.
Finally, the Avenger also has Level 2 ADAS functions, such as adaptive cruise control, lane centering, traffic jam assist, traffic sign recognition, blind-spot monitor, and drowsy driver alert.
Design & Style
Jeep has also given us a proper look at the interior of the Avenger EV for the first time. The dashboard has a very simple design theme, dominated by a large, independent touch screen.
The rectangular AC vents are seamlessly integrated into the dashboard, with a body-colored strip spanning the width of the dashboard.
There are two bands of physical switches – one for the HVAC and the other for the drive selector.
Other highlights include a chunky steering wheel with multiple buttons to control multiple functions, and a fully digital instrument cluster.
The centre console, too, features a minimalistic design with hidden storage spaces and a large ‘E’ badge in the centre. There is also a smartly integrated storage shelf below the AC vents.
Engine and Performance
The Avenger EV will be powered by a Stellantis-built 54kWh battery that can deliver a range of 400km as per the WLTP cycle, but Jeep claims this can go up to 550km depending on driving conditions.
The battery can be charged from 20-80 per cent in 24 minutes via a 100kW cable.
Power will come from the group’s 154hp, 260 Nm motors, with two or four motors fitted on the axle depending on the variant’s configuration, and Jeep will offer both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive versions.
It will also come with Jeep’s Select-Terrain off-road modes (Normal, Eco, Sport, Snow, Mud, and Snow), which change various parameters depending on the mode.
The approach and break over angle of the Avenger EV is 20 degrees, while the departure angle is 32 degrees.
The Avenger EV will be manufactured at the group’s advanced, high-efficiency plant in Tychy, Poland. This model will also be sold in markets like Europe, Japan, and South Korea, and may also be launched in India in the future.
Price and Variants
Jeep has not confirmed if the Avenger will be launched in India. The Jeep Avenger EV is expected to be priced between Rs 8.00 Lakh and Rs 12.00 Lakh, depending on the variant chosen.
It features a 54kWh battery pack paired to an electric motor rated to produce 156PS and 260Nm, powering the front wheels.
The electric SUV gets a WLTP-claimed range of up to 400 km in the combined cycle and 500 km in the urban cycle.
The EV version of the Jeep Avenger has a range of 400 km. However, we expect the ICE-powered model to get the same 1.2-litre petrol unit from the C3 in both NA and Turbo variants.
