Inovev forecasts 100,000 units per year of the new Jeep Avenger
- The Stellantis plants in Tichy (Poland) and in Melfi (Italy) will be transformed over the next two years to focus on the manufacture of electric cars, which has not been the case until now. The Fiat 500 which is currently manufactured in Tichy, is equipped with a thermal engine, the one with an electric motor being produced on the Mirafiori site in Italy. The Tichy site has lost a lot in production volume since the transfer of the Fiat Panda from the Tichy site to the Italian site of Pomigliano in 2012 and since the end of production of the Ford Ka in 2016. In 2022, the site of Tichy will only produce 155,000 end-of-life cars (Fiat 500s and Lancia Ypsilons). Succession will go through the new Jeep Avenger SUV and its Alfa-Romeo and Lancia derivatives.
- The new Jeep Avenger which has just been unveiled (and which takes the name of an old 1970 Hillman rebadged Chrysler in 1976 and Talbot in 1979) will be launched in 2023, on the e-CMP platform of the Peugeot e-2008, Opel e-Mokka and DS3 Crossback E-Tense.
- It will therefore be shorter than the Renegade (4.10 m instead of 4.23 m) and will be the brand's first model to be equipped with a 100% electric engine and battery (the same as that of the 2008 and Mokka) which will allow a range of 400 km according to the WLTP cycle. It will also be offered in a petrol version, borrowing the 1.2-litre 3-cylinder fitted to the 2008 and Mokka.
- The Jeep Avenger will also be the brand's first model to be marketed only in Europe and not in the United States. Inovev forecasts 100,000 annual sales of the Jeep Avenger.
