The new Avenger e-Hybrid with innovative 48Volt Hybrid engine on test drive

Boasting exceptional driving capabilities while also ensuring reduced CO2 emissions, the new Jeep Avenger e-Hybrid, driven by its innovative 48 Volt hybrid engine, further advances the Jeep brand's trailblazing journey into electrification.

The engine powering the new Avenger e-Hybrid represents the highest level of technological achievement, delivering both comfort and performance.

With this state-of-the-art technology, the new Avenger e-Hybrid delivers an exceptionally smooth driving experience, enabling fortunate journalists to embrace electric mobility at lower speeds.

This is made possible through the integration of the automatic 6-speed e-DCS6 dual-clutch transmission with its integrated electric engine.

The route retraces the double soul of the Avenger: at ease both on road and offroad.

On the one hand, the on-road route allows the driver to try the hybrid features (energy recovery & electric drive at low speed) and the tech features such as L2 assisted driving.

The new Avenger e-Hybrid has been designed to be the first entry point into electrification.

It employs a powertrain based on a lightweight 48V Hybrid system capable of delivering a nearly complete hybrid experience.

A 100hp internal combustion engine coupled with a 21kw electric motor is then integrated into a double-clutch 6-speed automatic transmission and a 48V Belt Starter for a smooth transition to the electric drive that also produces further CO2 savings.

The 0.9 kWh lithium-ion battery is located under the driver's seat, with no impact on the interior space, which remains the same as that of the Avenger petrol.

The entire 48V hybrid system weighs only 60 kg more than a conventional automatic transmission.

This keeps the total weight of the new Avenger e-Hybrid to just 1280 kg.
