NEW AVENGER IS JEEP’S FIRST FULLY ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Jeep Australia has confirmed its all-new Avenger compact SUV will be coming to
Australia in 2024 as the brand’s first-ever battery electric vehicle (BEV).

The Avenger BEV is a key component in Jeep’s global electrification strategy with
the goal of becoming the world leader in fully-electric zero exhaust emission SUVs.

versatile interior comfortably fitting five people and luggage including 34 litres of
interior storage.

electric range of up to 400 km under the WLTP test regime.

minutes, and go from 20 to 80 percent in 24 minutes.

Jeep Avenger has been designed to offer 360-degree protection and full freedom of
movement. Its 360-degrees shock protection encased protected lights and colour-
moulded skid plates.
