Following the restricted availability of an ICE-only petrol engine in pick European markets, Jeep introduced the Avenger e-Hybrid with a mildly-electrified 1.two-liter powertrain and an optional Open-Air Sky Roof function.

The Avenger e-Hybrid characteristics Stellantis’ most recent mild-hybrid tech which is currently utilized in the sibling Fiat 600 Hybrid as nicely as in other Peugeot, Citroen, and Opel models. The powertrain comprises a turbocharger 1.two-liter 3-cylinder petrol engine, a 48-volt lithium-ion battery, and an electric motor integrated inside the new six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox (e-DCS6).
