Eric Laforge, Head of Jeep brand in Europe, has commented: “At Jeep, the new Avenger e-Hybrid is extremely important as it makes even stronger the “Freedom of choice” we offer to the customer.  It’s a third option, on top of petrol and full electric ones, granting a first access point to electric mobility for those who feel not ready yet to join this market evolution. The new Avenger e-Hybrid combines the electrification and automatic transmission as many customers desire at this moment in time”.

The media days experience, designed to demonstrate that the Jeep brand stands alone in offering a mild-hybrid that performs similar to a full hybrid, kicks off with the new Jeep Avenger e-Hybrid. Boasting exceptional driving capabilities while also ensuring reduced CO2 emissions, the new Jeep Avenger e-Hybrid, driven by its innovative 48 Volt hybrid engine, further advances the Jeep brand's trailblazing journey into electrification.
