When the now-defunct FCA Group took over the reins of Chrysler Group LLC, they had to make tough decisions. Many did not like it, but in general they were successful. Especially since they allowed mythical firms like Jeep or Chrysler. And although luck has not smiled equally on the firms of the Yankee division, in Europe we have known models that have marked a turning point for their quality.
The Renegade is one of the B-SUVs with the greatest impact. It was the smallest Jeep model and with it they not only entered an unknown segment, they allowed thousands of customers to access the brand. Now they return to the load with the jeep avenger, the SUV that will be located in the range below the future Renegade and that it will once again mark a turning point. It will be one hundred percent electric and, in addition, its name will surely ring a bell.
The Jeep Avenger will make its official debut at the Paris Motor Show on October 17…
Until now we have known it as Baby Jeep or Jeep B-SUV BEV but it already has an official name. We will talk about it later because now we are interested in knowing what it is like and what new features it will bring. First of all, tell you that they are waiting (even more) to give us all the official information about him. The reason, it will officially debut at the Paris Motor Show that will take place next October. But in the meantime we can tell you some secret which is official...
As you know, the Avenger is based on the latest evolution of PSA's CMP platform. Thanks to this base, its one hundred percent electric drive train will be a new coin. For now we do not know what its total power is or what is the energy capacity of the lithium ion battery that will power it. But its autonomy, well Jeep announces that it will have a range with a charge of about 400 kilometers. In addition, it will offer good off-road levels…
As indicated by the American firm in its official press release...
«It will offer impressive levels in its segment with respect to the ground clearance and breakover and entry angles, while offering a modern and technologically advanced interior, with plenty of space for people and cargo»
For the time being we do not know how daring they have been in the firm when configuring your technique or interior. His exterior lines coincide with those that we already described to you when Stellantis "missed" a photo where he was seen without camouflage. In summary: wears modern lines with classic ones (such as the grill with 7 vertical slats) with or, for example, the handles on the "C" pillar. All in all, Antonella Bruno, Head of Jeep Europe at Stellantis indicates that…
“The new Avenger will offer the capacity of the Jeep brand with the right size for the European market” […] “This Modern, fun and emotional SUV will appeal to a growing group of customers looking for a capable, compact, modern, all-electric Jeep brand alternative to current players."
We will have to wait for its debut to know it but if the Renegade was a success, the Avenger looks like it will follow in its wake...
Doesn't his name ring a bell? Maybe some Dodge…?
To finish, we must tell you why his name sounds familiar to you. Indeed, Dodge launched the Avenger sedan on the market in 2008.. Its commercial success in Europe was limited because its construction quality was not the best in the segment and, in addition, its mechanical offer was somewhat limited. Especially since in diesel it was adjusted to a 2.0 CDR block with Volkswagen origin and in gasoline there was none that fit our tastes.
We don't know how the audience will fit in Jeep has used the name Avenger for its new B-SUV. For now we have heard rumors of non-acceptance, but if the Yankee firm is clever with the campaign to make it known, more than one will get over the tantrum. In addition, the Dodge Avenger had so little impact on its sales and has it as a used vehicle that it would not be surprising if more than one has forgotten about it forever.
We'll find out when it officially debuts and the order book officially opens. In the meantime, at Stellantis and at Jeep they are testing the ground…
