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.”.
jeep avenger
In this sense, the first is the Jeep Avenger, a small urban SUV based on the eCMP platform, which shares elements with Opel Mokka-e which is manufactured at the Tichy plant in Poland. It is a factory that can assemble approximately 17 cars per hour, which in three shifts of 7.5 hours It can give us an estimated production of 80,000 to 90,000 cars per year, mainly for Europe, Japan and South Korea (they will not be sold in the US or China).
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.
From an aesthetic point of view, The Jeep Avenger 4×4 concept includes some elements such as tow hooks, wider fenders, larger tires… Additionally, to further enhance the Jeep Avenger’s capability, the approach angle has been improved to 21 degrees, the departure angle to 34 degrees and the angle of refraction to 20 degrees, thanks to ground clearance that now exceeds 20 degrees.
Also, the Avenger 4×4 Concept showcases a new lightweight roof-cargo system concept that, with a special belt system, compresses luggage to the roof and has anti-scratch protection along its entire length.
Jeep Recon
After the Jeep Avenger and Avenger 4×4, another new model that this brand is planning is the Jeep Recon, which will be shown in 2023, although it won’t go into production until 2024. It will be manufactured in North America and its design is reminiscent of the Land Rover Defender . It could reach Spain at the end of 2024.
It’s a new electric car, all-wheel drive, and of course it’s going to be mid-size, so you’ll be above the Avenger. Unlike this, it will not have a combustion version, so it will only be electric.
According to Gibb, andThe Recon will be sold in all markets around the world (including Europe) and will offer great off-road capabilities with its 100% electric drivetrain.
Jeep Wagoneer S
It is a luxury SUV Jeep experience, which is still known by the code name of Jeep Wagoneer S. For this, it will have an aerodynamic design and a capacity of 4×4; Plus the 100% electric propulsion system. It will be a 100% electric SUV and will have a range of more than 640 kilometers; In addition to obtaining acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.5 seconds.
The new Wagoneer S will also be shown next year with production beginning in 2024 in North America as well. And like Recon, it will also be sold in Europe, as well as in the rest of the world markets. A fourth model will be added to this wonderful detail that has not yet appeared.
