The "Avenger" nameplate has previously been used by
Chrysler, previous parent company of Jeep on two previous occasions, namely the
Dodge Avenger (a North American product) on sale between 1994 and 2000, then 2008–2014; and before that on the
Hillman Avenger (built by Chrysler's long defunct
European division) in the 1970s.
The Avenger offers a 200 mm (7.9 in)
ground clearance, 20 degrees of
approach angle, and 32 degrees of
departure angle. It is also equipped with Jeep's "Selec-Terrain" drive mode (with Normal, Eco, Sport, Snow, Mud, and Sand modes) and Hill Descent Control.
Designed in Italy and manufactured in Poland,[13] the Avenger is primarily marketed in Europe, with sales in Turkey, Morocco, Japan and South Korea also planned.[14] It is not available in the United States, Canada, and China.[11] Deliveries to customers started in early 2023, with Jeep targeting annual production of 110,000 units.[2]
Avenger EV
The battery electric version was available before the petrol-powered model, and is the sole version of the Avenger in most markets. It is equipped with a 400 V front-mounted electric motor manufactured by Emotors, producing 156 PS (154 hp; 115 kW) and 260 N⋅m (26.5 kg⋅m; 192 lb⋅ft) of torque. Equipped with a 54 kWh battery, the Avenger EV offers a
WLTP range of up to 400 km (250 mi) (550 km (340 mi) in urban cycle).[15]

Avenger 4xe
The four-wheel-drive version of the Avenger was preceded by the Jeep Avenger 4xeconcept car, (alternatively referred to as the Avenger 4x4[16][17]) presented at the
2022 Paris Motor Show in October.[18] It is distinguished by more off-road customization elements (fender wideners, towing hooks, tyres, roof loading system) and by a heightening of 200 mm (7.9 in).[19][20]
The production version was introduced in February 2024 as the Avenger 4xe, which is powered by a 1.2-litre mild hybrid powertrain.[21] It has two 21 kW (28 hp; 29 PS) electric motors mounted on the rear
axle and the 6-speed dual-clutch transmission.
