Recon, Wagoneer and Avenger 4×4… The first Jeeps to drive electric SUVs

Jeep is one of the brands of the Stellantis group, which can grow even more in the coming years. We remember in this sense that until just a few years ago (2021), Jeep was part of the FCA group, along with Fiat. However, with the formation of the Stellantis group, Jeep has become a leading brand within this consortium with 1.3 million sales in 2020, This makes it a signature similar to the Peugeot in terms of size.

also, Jeep is a very interesting brand in the group for several reasons.. The first because it contains Image closely related to 4×4. Also because one of its main markets is The United States, a great gateway to the American continent. And also, because like the rest of the companies Stellantis faces the challenge of becoming an electric vehicle brand in 2030 in Europe (In the US Jeep sells 50% of the electricity).

Another step in its strategy of being an electric brand, Jeep is expanding its range of electric models and vehicles. So much so that it will have four 100% electric SUV In 2025 as a preliminary step to full electrificationa. And all this with the intent of increasing the number of SUVs in most of the countries in which they are located (for example, in the United States they have 11% of SUVs and in Spain about 1%.

According to Christian Monnier, CEO of Jeep, “At the Paris Motor Show, we’re showing that we have a whole range of new all-electric Jeep models with all-wheel drive capability around the corner, with a clear goal in mind: to become the premiere brand of electric SUVs.”.

In Tichy, Stellantis Group has invested 755 million euros to start production of three new models, the first of which is the Jeep Avenger.

However, one intriguing aspect of the Jeep Avenger is that it’s electric but doesn’t have an all-wheel drive. This was one of the aspects Jeep has been asked about in recent days. Hence, the Stellantis Group in Paris has shown a prototype that anticipates a small electric 4×4 of the future. So it will be aroundIt is a 4×4 electric version of the Jeep Avenger.

According to Christian Monnier: “The Avenger was designed as a Jeep from the start, and the electric 4×2 model indeed offers some of the best-in-class capabilities that define the Jeep brand.” He continues, “However, we can’t help but wonder, what if we bundled the Jeep brand’s electric all-wheel drive capabilities into a compact car while still maintaining the brand’s design language, capability and personality?”

It’s still certified as the Jeep Avenger 4×4 Concept, from the brand they confirm will finally go into production. They specifically indicated that it would expand the range of Jeep 4xe models.
