We\u2019ve seen the Jeep Avenger<\/a> before in photos<\/a>, but Jeep<\/a> just revealed all the little details we\u2019ve been waiting for at the Paris Motor Show<\/a>. As a quick reminder, this pint-sized electric Jeep isn\u2019t coming to the U.S., but since it\u2019s the first production electric Jeep ever, we\u2019re still bringing you the full download.<\/p>\n

Power is provided by a single electric motor that produces 154 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque. This won\u2019t be a quick EV, but that\u2019ll be enough for relatively sprightly acceleration. Jeep fits a 54 kWh battery<\/a> pack in the Avenger, and it\u2019s claimed to provide 249 miles of range on the WLTP cycle. Not as though we\u2019ll see it in the U.S., but if we did, expect a theoretical EPA<\/a> range to be lower. Charging speed is respectable at a 100 kW max charge rate \u2014 Jeep says that the Avenger is capable of going from a 20-80% charge in 24 minutes.<\/p>\n

If you were wondering why the Avenger isn\u2019t going to be sold in the U.S., its tiny size is a good place to start. This little ute is 6.3 inches shorter than a Renegade<\/a>, which is Jeep\u2019s smallest vehicle currently sold here. For now, the Avenger is also front-drive-only. Despite this inherent off-road disadvantage, Jeep is still touting some light off-road chops for this little crossover<\/a>. It\u2019s fitted with Jeep\u2019s Selec-Terrain mode system (off-road modes include mud, sand and snow) and Hill Descent Control. The short overhangs also facilitate respectable approach (20\u00b0), breakover (20\u00b0) and departure (32\u00b0) angles.<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t much new to note about the exterior design, as we\u2019ve had photos of this Jeep for months now. However, Jeep notes that it\u2019s paid extra attention to making low-speed impacts less costly for the Avenger through the use of exterior cladding, scratch-proof polymer \u201cskid plates\u201d and encased\/protected headlights.<\/p>\n

Jeep says the simplistic interior design is inspired by the Wrangler<\/a>. You\u2019ll see a very basic dash design that is highlighted by a 10.25-inch touchscreen. The seats can be had with leather inserts and even feature a massage function. A wide moonroof will also be available, and so will a bunch of driver assistance systems like adaptive cruise control and lane centering.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Jeep says there will be an Avenger 1st Edition available for pre-booking between now and November 30. It\u2019s the yellow one you see in the photos here, and it comes fully-loaded. Jeep also provided photos of a \u201cCustomized Avenger\u201d in Paris that wears a bunch of accessories such as a camo livery, blue accents and a bunch of small interior changes. You won\u2019t miss it in the gallery, as it\u2019s sporting the blue-accented wheels.<\/p>\n

The electric Avenger will be produced in Tychy, Poland, and if you\u2019re in Europe, pre-orders begin today.<\/p>\n
