2025 Jeep Avenger electric SUV confirmed for Australia

Jeep Australia has confirmed the Avenger small electric SUV will arrive Down Under in the second half of 2024 to rival the Hyundai Kona Electric, Volvo EX30, and Renault Megane E-Tech.

The rugged-looking crossover EV uses the Stellantis parent group's STLA Small platform, which is an evolution of the Electric Common Modular Platform (eCMP) found on the Peugeot E-2008.

Made in the carmaker’s Poland factory alongside the related Fiat 600e, the Avenger boasts a claimed range of up to 400 kilometres on the combined WLTP test cycle.

While it is exclusively front-wheel drive and not designed for off-roading, Jeep’s first pure EV offers 200mm of ground clearance, a skid plate and the requisite plastic body cladding.

The Avenger features a 10.25-inch touchscreen powered by the company’s UConnect operating system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability.

Furthermore, the driver instrument display will be available in either 7.0- or 10.25-inch sizes depending on the variant.

When will the Jeep Avenger launch in Australia?

The 2025 Jeep Avenger is set to arrive in Australian showrooms in the second half of 2024.

Local pricing and features details will be announced closer to its launch.

For reference, the recently released Peugeot E-2008 is priced from $59,990 before on-road costs.

The related Jeep Avenger could be priced similarly to benefit from EV incentives and to align with the current top-spec diesel-engined Compass Trailhawk, which costs from $59,100 before on-roads.

When it does land, it’ll compete in a tightly contested market, including the Hyundai Kona Electric, Volvo EX30 and Renault Megane E-Tech, while being an alternative to the popular BYD Atto 3 and larger Tesla Model Y electric SUV.
