Petrol versions of the Jeep Avenger will be released in the UK in December 2023. The new mild-hybrid variant is set to follow in the second quarter of 2024.

The petrol version will be priced starting from £27,000 and will only come with a manual gearbox. It will be available in very limited numbers.

On the other hand, the mild-hybrid powertrain variant is anticipated to have a starting price of around £30,000 upon its release in December 2023.

The petrol Avenger was initially intended for sale in Italy, Poland, and Spain due to the lack of substantial EV infrastructure in these markets. However, due to high demand from UK dealers, it will now also be sold in the UK.

Jeep stated that the petrol variant will cater to the preferences of its customers, as 80% of its sales consist of pure-ICE vehicles.

Paul Rush, the UK product boss, mentioned, “They [European bosses] asked us to take some. It was a no-brainer to say yes.”

When asked about the possibility of more units being available, Rush indicated that it was unlikely to be more than “a couple thousand” in total.

Petrol Jeep Avenger Details

The petrol Avenger is equipped with a turbocharged three-cylinder 1.2-litre Puretech engine, which is utilized by several other Stellantis models, including the Vauxhall Corsa, the Peugeot 308, and Citroën C3 Aircross.

This small SUV, priced at around £27,000 (which is £8500 less than the EV), will only be available in Altitude Plus trim, with no additional options aside from the paint color.

Mild-hybrid Jeep Avenger

The mild-hybrid model, expected to have a starting price of around £30,000, will utilize the same 1.2 Puretech 48V unit found in the Peugeot 3008. This petrol engine is combined with a 28bhp electric motor integrated into a six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.

It will be offered in Longitude, Altitude, and Summit specifications, aligning with the electric car version of the Avenger.
