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.

Overview

The Avenger was presented on 8 September 2022 and at the 2022 Paris Motor Show in October. [9] [10] It is offered with mild hybrid and battery electric models. It use the STLA Small platform, a development from the CMP platform (eCMP for the electric model) originally developed by the PSA Group, and shared with the Peugeot 2008, Opel Mokka and DS 3 Crossback. [11] [2] [12]

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]
