Do you want a front-wheel drive small electric Jeep? Well, if you live in the United States you won’t be able to get one, but if you live in Europe, South America or Japan, then you will soon be able to order the new Jeep Avenger, the company’s smallest offering, which will slot in below the Renegade. It’s going to be built in Poland at the Tychy factory and exported to several markets, and even though at first it will be a front-wheel drive vehicle, a dual-motor all-wheel drive variant will be added later.
The front-wheel drive version that was revealed at the 2022 Paris Motor Show has a 154-horsepower motor that drives the front wheels, drawing from a 54 kWh battery pack. That’s enough for a range of 249 miles (400 km) on the WLTP test cycle and the manufacturer notes that you could easily expect that if you drive only in town - then you could see 342 miles (550 km) on one charge.
