Jeep Avenger

Jeep Avenger at a glance

The Avenger was designed under Daniele Calonaci and sits below the Renegade and Compass in the Jeep range. Other Jeeps are listed in our Jeep catalogue.

Generations and model history

Jeep revealed the Avenger on 8 September 2022 and showed it at the Paris Motor Show in October. Production began in Tychy on 31 January 2023, with a planned output of 110,000 cars a year. In most markets the electric version came first; ADAC lists the German Avenger Electric from March 2023 at EUR 37,000, with a 1st Edition at EUR 39,900. Petrol versions were added later in Germany, France and the UK. The four-wheel-drive 4xe followed in May 2024, along with a limited North Face Edition of 4,806 cars. ADAC lists an updated German range from September 2026 that includes an 85th Anniversary edition; the changes in detail are not yet documented.

There is only one generation so far.

Engines, transmissions and performance

The e-Hybrid is a mild hybrid with a 21 kW electric motor built into the dual-clutch gearbox. It can drive on electricity alone for short distances, up to about 1 km. The Brazilian Avenger uses a 1.0 three-cylinder turbo from the GSE FireFly family that can run on flex fuel. Our power converter translates between kW, PS and hp.

Avenger Electric: battery and charging

The electric Avenger has a front motor from Emotors with 115 kW (156 PS) and 260 Nm, fed by a 54 kWh battery (51 kWh net) on a 400-volt system. ADAC lists 15.5 kWh/100 km and 400 km of WLTP range; Jeep also quotes 550 km in the WLTP city cycle. It charges at up to 11 kW on AC and 100 kW on DC. With 9.0 seconds to 100 km/h and a top speed of 150 km/h it is quicker off the line than the hybrid versions but slower at motorway speeds. Electric rivals are collected in our electric cars section.

Avenger 4xe and off-road ability

For its size the Avenger has real off-road credentials: 200 mm of ground clearance, an approach angle of 20 degrees and a departure angle of 32 degrees. Selec-Terrain modes (Normal, Eco, Sport, Snow, Mud and Sand) and Hill Descent Control come with every version. The 4xe adds electric drive to the rear axle using two 21 kW motors, giving four-wheel drive without a propshaft. ADAC lists it with 107 kW (145 PS) of system output, a 100 kW (136 PS) petrol engine, 230 Nm, 9.5 seconds to 100 km/h and 5.3 l/100 km.

Dimensions, space and boot

At just under 4.1 metres the Avenger is compact for an SUV, and the boot is modest: the 4xe gives up 55 litres compared with the e-Hybrid. Check whether it fits your space with our garage fit tool.

Fuel economy and running costs

On the WLTP cycle ADAC lists 4.9 l/100 km and 110 g/km of CO2 for the e-Hybrid and 5.3 l/100 km and 121 g/km for the 4xe. The Electric uses 15.5 kWh/100 km. Which version costs least to run depends on your electricity and fuel prices and on whether you can charge at home.

Trims and prices

German list prices of the updated range from September 2026, according to ADAC:

Trim names follow Jeep practice: Longitude, Altitude and Summit for front-wheel-drive versions, and Upland and Overland for the 4xe, plus an 85th Anniversary edition.

Safety: Euro NCAP

Euro NCAP tested the Avenger in 2024 and awarded three stars. It scored 79% for adult occupants, 70% for child occupants, 59% for vulnerable road users and only 53% for safety assist, the weakest area. Results for other cars are in our safety section.

Awards and sales

The Avenger won European Car of the Year 2023, the first Jeep to do so. It was also named Electric Car of the Year and Best Electric City Car at the Top Gear Electric Awards 2023 and Best Family SUV in the Women's World Car of the Year 2023. From January to May 2023, 7,214 Avengers were registered in Europe, 6,252 of them with petrol engines, and three quarters went to Italy. In Germany 11,120 were registered from launch to December 2024, making it the brand's best seller there in its first year.

We found no sourced reliability data for the Avenger, so we do not list known faults.

Rivals

Inside Stellantis the Avenger shares its platform with the Fiat 600, Alfa Romeo Junior, Peugeot 2008 and Opel Mokka. The MG ZS is larger and cheaper, while the Avenger offers a 4xe four-wheel-drive version and more off-road ability. Compare them in our comparison tool.
