Jeep Avenger Electric now available from £28,499 with £1,500 Electric Car Grant
The Jeep Avenger Electric crossover is now on sale from £28,499 on the road, thanks to the introduction of the UK Government’s £1,500 Electric Car Grant (ECG).
The smallest EV in the Stellantis-owned brand’s line-up, the rugged-looking Avenger has 154bhp and promises up to 248 miles of range on a single charge. Its 53kWh battery can be topped up from 20-80% in 24 minutes with a 100kW rapid charger.
The Jeep Avenger Electric is available in three trim levels, and each one qualifies for the ECG: The entry-level Longitude costs £28,499, the mid-tier Altitude starts at £30,499, and the range-topping Summit sits at the peak of the line-up with a £32,499 pricetag.
All Jeep Avenger Electric models come with keyless go, along with an all-terrain mode selector, hill descent control, rain-sensing wipers, and a rear parking sensor. Inside, six speakers are standard, as is a 10.25-inch Apple CarPlay and Android Auto-compatible infotainment screen.
The Longitude and the Altitude run on the same 16-inch wheels, while the Summit’s Summit Pack introduces 18-inch wheels, LED lighting front and rear, plus more advanced driver assist features such as a 180-degree rear-view camera and 360-degree sensors.
Included in the Summit’s asking price is the £350 Winter Pack, which adds heated seats, a wiper de-icer, and velour carpets.
Like the Fiat 600e, which shares its Stellantis e-CMP2 platform with the Jeep, the Avenger Electric is now more affordable than the petrol-powered version.
On the back of the announcement, Jeep UK managing director, Kris Cholmondeley, said: “We are big fans of driving electric at Jeep and the electric Avenger has been a popular choice for our customers.
“You previously could have had an Avenger Summit Electric for the same price as its petrol, automatic equivalent. Now with the Government’s Electric Car Grant, the electric variant is cheaper on a PCP than its petrol equivalent, and that’s before you factor in the savings on electricity versus petrol costs.
“The Avenger Electric is extremely capable of taking on the adventures of everyday life. Whether that’s in the city or experiencing the spirit of exploration at the core of Jeep”
