“The impending arrival of the award-winning, all-new BEV Jeep Avenger to New Zealand is very timely and is the right choice for those who are looking for a compact, robust, and stylish SUV that exudes state-of-the-art technology, space, and comfort while staying true to Jeep design,” said Todd Groves, General Sales Manager, Jeep NZ.

“All of this while offering the satisfaction of a zero-exhaust emission SUV, which compliments Jeep NZ's already established clean car position in the industry and will continue to help with New Zealand’s overall decarbonisation goal.”   

The Jeep Compass will arrive in New Zealand in December.

The compact Jeep Avenger offers zero exhaust emissions with an electric range of up to 400km and spearheads the introduction of a portfolio of capable, fully electric vehicles, in a global electrification strategy as the brand moves towards becoming the world leader in zero exhaust emission SUVs. 

Avenger offers class-leading energy consumption at 15.4 kWh per 100 km in the WLTP cycle. This result is made possible by the extreme efficiency of a new propulsion system, but also by the extreme lightness of the vehicle.

The M3 power unit adopted on Avenger is a second-generation, highly efficient 400-Volt e-motor. it delivers 115 kW and 260 Nm of maximum torque.

The Jeep Compass is the spearhead for the brand’s electric vehicles.
