Jeep Avenger BEV New Zealand Pricing and Arrival Confirmed
Tuesday, 21 November 2023

Jeep Avenger, the brand’s first-ever 100% battery electric vehicle (BEV), will arrive in NZ this December.

 

Limited to only 50 Launch Editions, the Jeep Avenger will be available in 7 unique colour choices and customer orders can be secured by visiting the jeep.co.nz website.

Avenger offers class-leading energy consumption at 15.4 kWh per 100 km in the WLTP cycle. This result is made possible by the extreme efficiency of a new propulsion system, but also by the extreme lightness of the vehicle.

 

To extend the autonomy range, each specific Avenger element has been developed to achieve maximum performance and efficiency. The starting point was the light and efficient eCMP2 electric platform to which 600 components have been modified.

The M3 power unit adopted on Avenger is a second-generation, highly efficient 400-Volt e-motor. It is the first power unit launched by eMotors – the STELLANTIS 50/50 joint venture with NIDEC, and it delivers 115 kW (corresponding to 156 horsepower) and 260 Nm of maximum torque.

Another key element that allows high autonomy range is the battery. Avenger’s new 54 kWh battery is also produced by STELLANTIS in the Tychy plant, and it offers top energy density together with an excellent ratio between nominal and usable energy – which is 51 kWh.

The battery system is very compact and is located under the front and rear seats and the central tunnel, with virtually zero impact on the vehicle. To consider that the battery is twice protected: by high ground clearance and by specific under-body skid plates, whose resistance in case of crash exceeds the requirements of the most stringent regulations.

A key element of Avenger’s electric propulsion is the charging system. The standard on-board charger delivers 100 kW in direct current (corresponding to 0 to 80% charge in 34 minutes in fast-charging mode), and 11 kW in alternating current (corresponding to 0 to 100% charge in 5 ½ hours when connected to a public station). High power and torque and a specific e-powertrain calibration allow the Avenger to offer uncompromised fun to drive on road and off-road on a compact platform.

 

Pricing for the All-new 100% Electric Avenger Launch Edition is $59,990. With an RSP of $67,005 including on road costs minus the New Zealand Government Clean Car Rebate while it lasts.

 

The Jeep Avenger Launch Edition arrives in New Zealand this December with only 50 vehicles initially available.   Secure one via the Jeep NZ website: https://jeep.co.nz/secure-your-vehicle-avenger
