Jeep has just revealed its electrification plans for the future, including a European launch. four battery-only models by 2025harbinger of the abandonment of combustion engines five years earlier than stipulated by Brussels, that is, in 2030. In the Old Continent, the electric offensive of the North American brand will be led by Avenger, a compact SUV that will appear for the first time in public view at the next edition of the Paris Motor Show, on October 17. Precisely the day the reservations open.
In addition to revealing some images that confirm that the definitive version of this SUV does not “escape” the concept that was shown at the beginning of the year, during the presentation of the Dare Forward strategic plan, prepared in the long term by Stellantis, Jeep is lacking in details. The brand points to a 400 kilometer range between refills and promises that the new model will stay true to its DNA, with “impressive” numbers for the segment, in terms of ground clearance and breakover and attack angles. All this combined with a “modern and technologically advanced interiorwith ample space on board and in the trunk”.
In the range, the new Jeep SUV will be positioned under the renegade and, depending on the brand, it will begin to be delivered in the early 2023from the Stellantis factory in Poland, in Tychy.
As expected, this new model will be similar to other proposals from the Franco-Italian-American group, such as the Opel Mokka-e, the DS 3 Crossback E-Tense or the Peugeot e-2008, all of them built on the Common Modular. Platform (CMP) from the former PSA and equipped with a 50 kWh battery. However, all of these models advertise a lower range between recharges, so It only remains to wait to know what variable the Jeep is going to change to achieve greater autonomy. It may also be the case that the brand is referring to autonomy in the city cycle and not in the mixed cycle, as some manufacturers choose to do -especially in advertising-, to transfer a more generous autonomy to the general public, although not realistically meets the user experience.
