Jeep Introduces Avenger e-Hybrid With Urban EV Capability and Trail Readiness

Positioned as Jeep’s entry to electrification, the 48V mild-hybrid targets city use with brief electric driving plus claimed fuel savings.

Overview

  • The Avenger e-Hybrid pairs a 100 CV gasoline engine with a 21 kW electric motor, a 6‑speed e‑DCT dual‑clutch transmission, a 48V belt starter, and a 0.9 kWh lithium‑ion battery mounted under the driver’s seat.
  • Jeep reports up to a 20% fuel‑use reduction versus a conventional automatic, a 13% cut overall versus the thermal engine, and up to 28% in the WLTP urban cycle, figures presented as manufacturer claims.
  • Low‑speed maneuvers can be performed electrically for more than half of typical urban trips, and the vehicle can travel up to 1 km with the combustion engine off for driving in low‑emission zones.
  • Off‑road credentials include over 200 mm of ground clearance, 20° approach and breakover angles, a 34° departure angle, hill‑descent control, and six drive modes spanning road and loose‑surface settings.
  • Urban comfort features include regenerative braking plus e‑parking, e‑creeping, and e‑queuing, while an E‑Boost function adds 55 Nm of electric torque to improve initial response and low‑rpm elasticity.
