The automotive world is in constant turmoil due to the ecological transition that is underway. Almost all the major brands are converting their facilities to begin the large-scale production of hybrid or electric vehicles. Some companies are also joining together to create partnerships in order to lower the development costs of this new technology.
On this front, there is also movement Stellantiswhich has completely renewed the range of vehicles on sale in the various brands it owns. In particular, after the presentation of the Pandinathere is great interest in the new Big Pandawhich has already made its debut through images leaked by the same FIAT.
The best-selling SUV
While the Grande Panda is preparing to debut on the Italian market, there is an SUV, instead, that has been making the hearts of all motorists beat for years and is part of the same family: the Jeep Avenger. According to data processed by Dataforce, in fact, the aforementioned model, in the first half of 2024, would have grabbed a market share of 4.4%, making it the best-selling SUV in Italy overall. Impressive numbers for what is also the first 100% electric Jeep SUV.
This Jeep also has other firsts, for example it is the first that was not designed within the United States borders. The idea, in fact, proudly comes from Jeep Design Studio Europe of Turin. The Avenger has already received 17 awards from the international press and in terms of sales it has already reached the milestone of 100,000 units sold in Europe. If we then limit the statistics to electric only, we discover that among B-SUVs, 1 in 3 sold is an Avenger.
A success dictated by style
Jeep Avenger is a model that is essentially liked for its modern style and at the same time for that slightly vintage flavor that it has maintained with some elements of the tradition of the American brand. A compact SUV of just 4.08 meters, with spacious interiors and top-level ADAS that allow for safe driving.
The powertrain includes a 400-volt electric motor that guarantees a range of 400 km (WLTP). In addition, the new rapid charging system guarantees a 30 km trip with just 3 minutes spent plugged in. However, the Avenger is also available in a 1.2-liter petrol version and in a e-Hybrid.
Satisfaction also from the Managing Director Jeep Italy, Novella Varzi, who stated: “We look to the future with confidence and are committed to keeping the Jeep brand at the top of the industry”. Currently Jeep Avenger is offered with an installment of €149 and variable advance based on the chosen engine with financing Jeep Excellence. These results are a source of great pride for Italians too, since a piece of our country is contained in this B-SUV that has bewitched Europe. The idea of the American brand is to try to satisfy the needs of a clientele that today is becoming increasingly varied and complicated. A clientele that no longer focuses only on performance, but also demands safety and attention to the environment from their vehicle.
