Jeep, the iconic American brand known for its off-road prowess, has launched a new electric SUV for the European market. The Jeep Avenger e-Hybrid is a compact crossover that combines a plug-in hybrid powertrain with Jeep’s signature 4x4 capabilities. The Avenger e-Hybrid is now available in Europe, with prices starting from €35,900 ($38,800) in Italy.

The Jeep Avenger e-Hybrid is a small SUV that measures 4.08 meters in length, making it the smallest Jeep model ever, apart from the original Willys. The Avenger e-Hybrid is based on the same platform as the Peugeot e-2008 and the Opel Mokka Electric, but it has a distinctive Jeep design with a seven-slot grille, round headlights, and trapezoidal wheel arches.

The Avenger e-Hybrid is powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged petrol engine and an electric motor, producing a combined output of 154 horsepower and 270 Nm of torque. The electric motor is fed by a 11.4 kWh battery pack that can be recharged in less than two hours using a 7.4 kW wallbox or a public charging station. The battery pack is located under the floor, ensuring a low center of gravity and a spacious cabin.

The Avenger e-Hybrid can drive in three modes: Hybrid, Electric, and e-Save. In Hybrid mode, the system automatically switches between the engine and the electric motor, depending on the driving conditions and the battery level. In Electric mode, the Avenger e-Hybrid can travel up to 50 km (31 miles) on pure electric power, with zero emissions and zero fuel consumption. In e-Save mode, the system preserves the battery charge for later use, such as in urban areas or restricted zones.

The Avenger e-Hybrid also features Jeep’s 4xe technology, which enhances the SUV’s off-road performance and efficiency. The 4xe system includes a dedicated selector that allows the driver to choose between three 4x4 modes: Auto, Snow, and Sand/Mud. In Auto mode, the system optimizes the traction and stability of the vehicle on any terrain. In Snow mode, the system reduces the torque delivery and improves the grip on slippery surfaces. In Sand/Mud mode, the system increases the torque delivery and allows some wheel slip for better traction on soft ground.

The Jeep Avenger e-Hybrid offers several benefits for customers who are looking for a versatile, efficient, and eco-friendly SUV. Some of the benefits are:

• Lower fuel consumption and emissions: The Avenger e-Hybrid has a combined fuel consumption of 2.0 liters/100 km (117.6 mpg) and a combined CO2 emission of 46 g/km, according to the WLTP cycle. This means that the Avenger e-Hybrid can save money on fuel and taxes, as well as reduce its environmental impact.
• Longer range and flexibility: The Avenger e-Hybrid has a total range of 400 km (248 miles), combining the electric and the petrol modes. This means that the Avenger e-Hybrid can cover long distances without worrying about running out of battery or finding a charging station. Moreover, the Avenger e-Hybrid can access restricted zones that are reserved for electric or low-emission vehicles, such as in some European cities.
• More fun and comfort: The Avenger e-Hybrid delivers a smooth and quiet driving experience, thanks to the instant torque and the seamless transition between the engine and the electric motor. The Avenger e-Hybrid also offers a sporty and agile handling, thanks to the low center of gravity and the 4xe system. The Avenger e-Hybrid also provides a comfortable and spacious interior, with a digital instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, and a wireless smartphone charger.

The Jeep Avenger e-Hybrid is now available in Europe, with four trim levels: Longitude, Limited, S, and Trailhawk. The Longitude trim is the entry-level option, with features such as 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, cruise control, and a 7-inch touchscreen.
