• European Car of the Year 2023, the Jeep® Avenger, has reached 100,000 customer orders
• Setting new standards in the B-SUV segment, the Jeep Avenger combines advanced technology with the iconic Jeep design
• With the introduction of the petrol, new e-Hybrid and the upcoming 4xe model, the Avenger provides customers with more ‘Freedom of Choice’

Named European Car of the Year 2023 the Jeep® Avenger has now received a remarkable 100,000 customer orders, since its launch in late 2022. The Avenger, produced and sold in Europe, continues to cement its status as a trailblazer in the B-SUV segment, underscoring the Jeep brand's DNA of freedom, adventure, passion and fun driving.

Eric Laforge – Head of Jeep Brand in Enlarged Europe, commented: “As we celebrate the remarkable success of the Jeep® Avenger, it's not just about numbers or accolades; it's about a relentless commitment to offer to customers the ‘Freedom of Choice’ to satisfy any mobility need and offering an unparalleled driving experience.  With an astounding 100,000 customer orders, the Avenger stands tall as a testament to our unwavering dedication to innovation and quality, redefining standards, setting new ones and leaving an indelible mark on the B-SUV segment and beyond.”

Freedom of Choice

The "Freedom of Choice" ethos is epitomised by the Avenger offering a range of three engines, two transmissions and soon all-wheel drive capability.  Following its introduction as the inaugural fully-electric Jeep vehicle, marking a significant shift towards sustainability, the Jeep brand has broadened the Avenger range with the introduction of the new Avenger e-Hybrid model, which provides customers with seamless integration of two power sources.

The brand is preparing to introduce the highly-anticipated Avenger 4xe, with all-wheel-drive to enhance freedom, by the end of 2024. The model’s success is further underscored by the remarkable performance of the BEV variants, which account for 25% of total sales, marking a significant shift towards sustainable mobility solutions.

e-Hybrid Technology

The new Avenger e-Hybrid is equipped with an advanced 48-Volt hybrid system, delivering an experience similar to a full-hybrid vehicle. The powertrain features a 100 hp internal combustion engine, paired with a 21 kW electric motor integrated into a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This setup includes a 48-Volt belt-driven starter, ensuring a smooth transition to electric drive and further reducing CO₂ emissions.

The e-Hybrid’s 0.9 kWh lithium-ion battery, located under the driver's seat, maintains the cabin space identical to that of the petrol variant. The vehicle intelligently switches between propulsion types based on real-time driving conditions, battery charge level and other monitored parameters, guaranteeing exceptional performance across various driving scenarios. This intelligent system adapts fluidly to road demands, whether operating in silent, all-electric mode during start-up, in efficient hybrid mode at cruising speed, or utilising the combustion engine's power during acceleration.

4xe – All-Wheel-Drive Capability to Enhance Fun and Freedom

The introduction of the Jeep Avenger 4xe, for which orders are slated to open by Q4 of 2024, is a significant milestone for the brand, representing a major advancement in both technology and design.

This model boasts an innovative powertrain that combines the benefits of a hybrid system with state-of-the-art all-wheel-drive technology. Central to this setup is a powerful 48V hybrid system, featuring a 1.2-litre turbo engine producing 136 hp, complemented by two 21 kW electric motors at the front and rear. This system, paired with a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, enables full electric driving at low speeds through its integrated electric motor. The vehicle also features an E-Boost function in Sport Mode, enhancing the thrilling performance that Jeep enthusiasts expect.

As the Jeep Avenger continues to evolve, its journey is far from over. The Avenger is not only meeting the demands of today’s drivers but also shaping the future of the Jeep brand in Europe.
