Jeep Avenger Highlights
The all-new fully electric Jeep Avenger has attracted media recognition by being named European Car of the Year 2023, World’s Best Family SUV in the Women’s World Car of the Year Awards, Electric Car of the Year in TopGear.com Electric Awards 2023, Best Small Car at Autocar Awards 2023 and Small BEV Autovista Group Residual Value Award 2023.
Designed and produced as a Jeep vehicle from day one, the Avenger packs the Jeep DNA into a compact SUV with a unique combination of capability, style, functionality, and technology. Avenger has been designed to perfectly fit the needs of customers with features including:
Functional design:
Avenger has been designed to offer 360° protection and full freedom of movement. Its 360-degrees shock protection encased protected lights and colour-molded skid plates make it the ideal travel companion in urban and off-road driving.
Compact dimensions:
at 4.08 metres it is the most compact Jeep and can comfortably fit five people.
Roomy & versatile interior:
The interior of the Jeep Avenger continues the “design to function” premise and has lots of space for everyday objects. It offers 34 litres of interior storage, the equivalent of a carry-on bag. In addition, the 1 metre-wide, square-shaped trunk is also spacious and extremely versatile. Each compartment has been designed with flexibility and modularity in mind: the central tunnel can be organized in multiple modular storage pockets by means of a divider that can be moved – or even removed. Thanks to original solutions like the flexible cupholder divider, the entire content of a cabin baggage can be stored in these boxes.
Sustainable powertrain:
Avenger offers zero tailpipe emissions and 100% adventure and passion with an electric range of up to 396km. Standard fast charging mode allows to recharge 30 km (average daily need) in 3 minutes, and to go from 20 to 80% in 24 minutes.
Cutting edge technology:
All-terrain and all-weather capability translates into fun and safety and Avenger leads in the Light SUV segment in both respects. A complete series of safety and ADAS features which in the electric version provide level-2 driving autonomy include: Blind Spot Monitoring, Autonomous Emergency Braking with Vulnerable Road Users (pedestrian and cyclist) protection, automatic parking and 180-degree rear camera with drone view.
Fully Connected:
Made for “always connected” customers, the new Jeep Avenger ensures a great digital on-board experience. A 10.25-inch radio screen Uconnect Infotainment combined with full digital cluster available in two variants (7 and 10.25 inches) comes as standard.
The infotainment system has been designed to deliver a smartphone-like user experience, with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone projection, “mix&match” function to build your own interface (up to 5 pages, up to 12 widgets per page), embedded navigation powered by TomTom with enhanced natural voice recognition and over-the-air update.
Thanks to the Uconnect™ Services and the Jeep® mobile app, customers can keep in touch with Avenger everywhere and every time.
Foremost capability
A pure expression of “concentrated Freedom”, the Avenger offers Jeep’s trademark performance in a compact form to guarantee peace of mind in all atmospheric conditions. Agile, reactive, and enjoyable to drive, it offers dynamic performance levels thanks to its instant torque and stands out for its silence.
The new Avenger is the first front-wheel drive Jeep vehicle equipped standard with Selec-Terrain® and Hill Descent Control, which, together with the 200mm ground clearance, the 20 degrees of approach angle, and 32 degrees of departure angle, make it a vehicle with unexpected off-road capability to the segment and ensure maximum protection also in city life, for example when driving up a steep parking ramp.
In order to improve its angles, Avenger adopts the new e-CMP2 modular electric platform. Which has been significantly customized with specific tunings to deliver best-in-class JEEP capability. With no less than 60% of its components are fully JEEP-dedicated.
Starting from this platform, the front and rear overhangs have been minimized designing totally new crash boxes. Which are 30 mm shorter and offer the same energy-absorbing performance.
The vehicle has been raised from ground to maximize clearance with the lowest point as the engine shield. Where there are 209 mm at the suspension level and up to 223 mm at the battery plate level. To note Avenger’s full and flat underbody. Which is designed to protect the high voltage battery from damage while also improving aerodynamic efficiency.
But Avenger perfectly embodies Jeep “dual soul”, and it is as capable on road as it is offroad. In fact, for the best “on road capability”, thanks to its compact size and agility, it delivers a turning circle of just 10.5 metres. Which is ideal in the alleys of a historic city centre as well as on winding offroad paths.
All-new electric powertrain – Jeep Avenger
Avenger Longitude and Limited offers energy consumption at 15.6 kWh per 100 km in the WLTP cycle*. This result is made possible by the extreme efficiency of the new propulsion system. But also by the extreme lightness of the vehicle – only 1,520 kilograms. This is due to the compactness of the vehicle, but also to its extreme weight efficiency.
To extend the autonomy range, each specific Avenger element has been developed to achieve maximum performance and efficiency. The starting point was the light and efficient eCMP2 electric platform to which 600 components have been modified.
The all-new electric motor improved range by 5%, the all-new battery gave us another 12% benefit, and 5% more was obtained by working on aerodynamics, gear ratio and tyres. Also, the heat pump contributes – as it increases the range by up to 10% in extreme hot and cold conditions.
M3 power unit
The M3 power unit adopted on Avenger is a second-generation, highly efficient 400-Volt e-motor. It is the first power unit launched by eMotors. The STELLANTIS 50/50 joint venture with NIDEC. It delivers 115 kiloWatt and 260 Nm of maximum torque.
Another key element that allows high autonomy range is the battery. Avenger’s new 54 kWh battery is also produced by STELLANTIS in the Tychy plant. It offers top energy density together with an excellent ratio between nominal and usable energy – which is 51 kWh.
The battery pack consists of 17 modules and 102 cells with NMC 811 Lithium-Ion chemistry. The battery system is very compact and is located under the front and rear seats and the central tunnel. With virtually zero impact on the vehicle.
To consider that the battery is twice protected: by high ground clearance. And by specific under-body skid plates, whose resistance in case of crash exceeds the requirements of the most stringent regulations.
Onboard Charging
Another key element of Avenger’s electric propulsion is the charging system. The standard on-board charger delivers 100 kW in direct current (corresponding to 20 to 80% charge in 24 minutes in fast-charging mode. High power and torque and a specific e-powertrain calibration allow Avenger to offer uncompromised fun to drive on road and offroad on a compact platform.
The system has been developed and tested to stand extreme weather. Down to minus 30 degrees centigrade on winter roads. And up to plus 40 degrees in the height of summer. Finally, aerodynamics importantly contributes to efficiency and long range. Thanks to a frontal area of 2.25 square metres only, and a drag coefficient as low as 0.33. Avenger is one of the best cars in its category, in terms of aerodynamic response.
The Jeep Avenger supports three different charging modes and is equipped with a CCS COMBO Type 2 socket. This enables both domestic/public AC, and public DC fast charging. With the latter at a rate of 100kW in dedicated public stations. The vehicle comes standard with a Mode 3 charging cable for both public and domestic slow or semi-fast AC charging.
Charging Port positioning
The port is positioned in the left rear side of the vehicle. It gives immediate feedback on the charging status as well as possibility to manage set charging schedule or immediate charging.
The charging button has different uses and sequences depending on which charging mode is set. Including, no scheduled charge & immediate start, scheduled charging (not yet started) and scheduled charging (set and started).
Recharging the new Avenger is extremely simple. Via a 100 kW Mode 4 cable in direct current, connected to fast public charge. Three minutes of charge is enough to provide travel distance of 30 km. Or 24 minutes is sufficient to charge the batteries from 20 to 80% charge.
With a 11 kW Mode 3 cable for alternating current connected to a Wallbox or public station, it is possible to ‘fill up’ (from 0% to 100%) in 5.5 hours. Typical charging times for the Jeep Avenger are shown below.
Jeep Authentic Accessories
The new Avenger aesthetics are a symbol of the personality of the new Jeep® SUV. Which has been designed to be configurable and offer a wide range of customisations. It provides adventure and performance, but superior style as well. It is possible to customize the Avenger in several ways, in line with its claim “make it yours”.
The colour palette – where colours are corresponding to nature elements – is composed by Ruby (red), Volcano (black), Stone (sand grey), Lake (light blue) Sun, Granite, and Snow. All colours – except for the Volcano – can be combined with a black roof on certain trim levels.
Customers can preorder online by visiting jeep.com.au or visit their nearest Jeep dealer.
