The eagerly awaited electric B-SUV Avenger, in an electric version, lands in Italy: Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 March it will be possible to get to know the Jeep Avenger and the entire range of Jeep SUVs up close in Italian dealerships. Curiosity about Jeep’s first fully electric SUV is high, also in light of the victory of the Car of the Year 2023 award.
The Jeep Avenger, in the intentions of Stellantis, represents the spearhead of a range of high-performance and fully electric vehicles, with dimensions designed for the European market. It will be a key element of the brand’s global electrification strategy.
The engine of the electric version of the Renegade is developed by Emotors, a joint venture between Stellantis and Nidec Leroy-Somer Holding, and boasts 115 kW of power (156 HP) and 260 Nm of maximum torque. Maximum speed of 150 kilometers per hour. Alongside the electric version is the 1.2 petrol version, with 101 bhp of power and a top speed of 185 kilometers per hour.
The performance in terms of autonomy is very interesting: thanks to a 54 kWh battery, the electric version of the Jeep Avenger is credited with a range of 400 km in the WLTP cycle and more than 550 km in the city. Thanks to the fast recharge, then, it promises 30 km of travel with a recharge of just three minutes.

In closing, a complete series of driving assistance functions stands out which, in the electric version, guarantee level 2 driving autonomy and a completely digital and connected on-board experience, thanks also to the Uconnect services.
