The Jeep Avenger, an all-weather compact electric SUV, is ready to meet customers with its official launch on the 4th.

The Jeep Avenger combines a pure electric powertrain with Jeep’s core DNA of off-road technology, designed and developed as an all-terrain SUV capable of responding to various climates and road conditions. Rooted entirely in Europe, it has already secured its position as a strong competitor in the fiercely competitive B-segment, surpassing 100,000 contracts in Europe, and notably ranking as the No. 1 B-UV in Italy. It is now making its historic debut in the Asian market, starting with South Korea.

With a single charge, the Avenger can travel up to 292 km (400 km based on WLTP standards), serving as a perfect companion for adventure and passion-fueled journeys that allow you to recharge your true self outside of daily life. It can charge from 20% to 80% in about 24 minutes on a fast charger, aligning well with the busy lifestyles of modern individuals.

Moreover, through the Selec-Terrain® system, the Avenger inherits Jeep’s off-road DNA with eco, normal, and sport modes, alongside sand, mud, and snow settings, making it the only electric vehicle capable of responding to South Korea’s distinctly changing climates and road environments throughout the seasons. It features a downhill speed control (HDC) system, allowing for speed management during slippery descents, and thanks to a turning radius of just 10.5 meters, it safely navigates tight alleys or busy parking lots in markets or department stores.

To commemorate the domestic official launch of the Avenger, Jeep will conduct a test drive event at dealerships nationwide throughout September. Customers who complete a test drive at any Jeep dealership by the 30th (Monday) will receive a docking-type portable charger, while customers who make a purchase will have a chance to win a 1돈 (approximately 3.75g) gold bar, with one winner selected from each dealership (totaling 19 winners).

Ms. Bang, representative of Stellantis Korea, stated, “The Jeep Avenger, launched in the domestic market as the first in Asia, is a versatile compact electric SUV that can attract not only loyal Jeep customers but also a completely new customer base. For those seeking a perfect harmony of work and life, as well as a differentiated design in electric vehicles, the Avenger will be a choice without regret.”

The Jeep Avenger is available in two trims: ‘Longitude’ and ‘Altitude’, with prices set at ₩52,900,000 and ₩56,400,000, respectively.
