Electric Jeep Avenger: A taste of the Fiat and Alfa Romeo B-SUVs

It's no secret, Jeep compact SUVs, Fiat and Alfa Romeo will share the same platform (e-CMP) and will be manufactured at the Tychy plant in Poland, where the current Fiat 500 thermal is still produced.

While little information has been released about the Fiat B-SUV (which could be called 600) and the B-SUV Alfa Romeo (for the moment nicknamed Brennero), Jeep has just unveiled at the 2022 Paris Motor Show its B-SUV Jeep Avenger. It is therefore worthwhile to look into it in order to try to to guess the outlines of the two Italian sisters.

The Jeep Avenger is a B-SUV, a size smaller than the Renegade, measuring 4.08 meters long.

Special feature of this model, its electric motor which is the first product of the Stellantis / Nidec "Emotors" joint venture. It will be manufactured in France, in the factories of Trémery and Metz. For comparison, the electric motors of the Fiat 500 electric or the DS7 come from the English GKN. However, the new DS3 is already equipped with this new motor Emotors M3.

To come back to him, it is the Emotors M3 400V which develops 115 kWThis is 156 hp and a maximum torque of 260 Nm. On board, a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 54 kWh promises 400 km of autonomy. It will take about 24 minutes to go from 20 to 80 % of charge. For information, 156 hp is exactly the power of the DS3 electric ...

According to our information, this Emotors M3 engine is capable of offering a power range from 60 to 250 kW and a torque range from 130 to 400 Nm.

From this, we can imagine that the Alfa Romeo Brennero will have a battery with a slightly larger capacity, a little more expensive, but offering more powerwhile on the other hand, the Fiat 600 could have a battery with a slightly smaller capacity, a little cheaper, for less power like the electric C4 and its 136 hp (100 kW) engine.
