2025 Jeep Avenger electric SUV: $53k launch price announced

The 2025 Jeep Avenger is now on sale in Australia, ahead of its showroom debut in the fourth quarter of this year.

Priced from $53,990 before on-road costs, the Avenger enters as a rival to other legacy brands at the 'entry' end of EV market – with only a small handful of mostly Chinese models positioned beneath that price point.

Among the Avenger's price rivals with familiar brands will be the Hyundai Kona Electric, Volvo EX30, and Renault Megane E-Tech, along with the Avenger's cousin, the Peugeot E-2008.

Buyers with tighter budgets have more options like the BYD Dolphin, BYD Atto 3, MG MG4 and GWM Ora.

Platform, power and driving range

The basics

As a Stellantis offering, the classically Jeep-styled Avenger EV is built on the STLA Small platform – an evolution of the Electric Common Modular Platform (eCMP) found beneath the Peugeot E-2008.

Made in the carmaker’s Poland factory alongside the related Fiat 600e, the Avenger boasts a claimed driving range of up to 400 kilometres on the combined WLTP test cycle. That range comes courtesy of a 54kWh nickel manganese cobalt lithium-ion battery, the only option in the range.

Power is provided by a 115kW/260Nm electric motor, sending power to the front wheels exclusively.

Jeep’s Selec-Terrain system offers Normal, Eco, Sport, Snow, Mud and Sand modes.

While it is exclusively front-wheel-drive and not strictly 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’s off-road capability is supported by a 20-degree approach, 20-degree breakover and 32-degree departure angle, shorter overhangs and “360-degree cladding” designed to hide scratches.

Charging

Jeep says a 100kW DC charger will top-up the Avenger’s battery from 20 to 80 per cent in 24 minutes. For those in a hurry, that 100kW connection will add 30km of driving range in three minutes.

Using an 11kW AC home charger will allow for a zero to 100 per cent recharge in 5.5 hours.

Features

The Avenger arrives fairly well equipped, which, like most small but expensive EVs, should offset a little of the sticker shock for buyers new to electric cars.

Highlights include a comprehensive safety suite with a Level 2 semi-autonomous system combining the adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist and traffic jam assist.

There's also large alloy wheels and full wireless phone mirroring for Apple Carplay and Android Auto. It's worth noting though that, like a lot of EVs, the Avenger's high entry price does not give you powered seats. In the Avenger, that feature appears in the $57,990 Limited trim.

Inside, the Avenger features a 10.25-inch main display, powered by the company’s UConnect operating system (now built on Google's platform) with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability.

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

Boot space

The Avenger has a 380-litre boot capacity, with an additional 34 litres of storage in the front row.

A full features breakdown by model is listed below.

The Avenger is available in six base colours:

Snow white, Ruby red, Volcano black, Granite silver, Sun yellow, Lake green, and Stone silver. Depending on the trim grade, buyers can also have those colours matched with a Volcano black roof.

Interior colours and trims are again tied to trim levels. The Longitude gets an all-black interior, while the Limited gets black with a silver dash accent, and the Summit adds black leather to the Limited's configuration.

For Longitude and Limited, only the Ruby colour is cost-free. All others are a $990 option, while adding the black contrast roof incurs an extra $495.

Will any other Avenger variants come to Australia?

While a petrol Avenger, with a 1.2-litre turbo-three shared with the related Peugeot 2008, is available in certain markets, Jeep Australia has confirmed an electric-only stance for the Avenger – at least at launch.
