2023 Jeep Avenger Electric SUV: What’s on offer?

The Jeep Avenger gets the SUV maker’s signature 7-slat grille, which has been closed off and branded with ‘e’ lettering to highlight the electric powertrain. The split headlamps come with high-mounted LED DRLs. The rear profile features ‘X’ shaped tail lamps and a faux skid plate. Along the sides, the wheel arches are more prominent and the EV features enough body cladding to give it the SUV look. Talking about interiors, so far Jeep has only revealed that the Avenger will come with a standalone touchscreen placed above the AC vents. More details are awaited. 

Jeep Avenger is the brand’s smallest SUV, and will be underpinned by Stellantis’ STLA small platform, making it the first Jeep SUV to do so. The Avenger will also be made available in a mild-hybrid configuration which will feature the CMP platform. The Jeep Avenger will be powered by the SUV maker’s electric motor that can produce a maximum power of 95hp. Depending on how many motors are fitted in the SUV, it could generate a maximum power of up to 400hp. The battery pack powering this motor offers a driving range of around 400km on a single fuel charge, as claimed by Jeep. The SUV could be made available in two and four-wheel drive options.
