Jeep Avenger Electric now eligible for government’s Electric Vehicle Grant

The Jeep Avenger Electric is the latest EV to become eligible for the government’s Electric Car Grant (ECG).

The Electric Car Grant is an incentive which will slash up to £3,750 off the price of a new EV priced under £37,000.

Customers who order a new Jeep Avenger Electric can now save up to £1,500 off the list price, meaning the range now comes in at £28,499 for the entry-level Longitude and rises to £32,499 for the flagship Summit variant.

Underneath, all models are fitted with a 54kWh battery pack and an electric motor to produce a total of 154bhp and 260Nm of torque. Jeep claims the Avenger Electric can travel up to 248 miles between charges and that 100kW DC rapid-charging is compatible, enabling a 20 to 80 per cent top-up to be completed in less than 30 minutes.

Standard equipment across the range includes a 10.25-inch infotainment screen, rear parking sensors, rain-sensing wipers and keyless start. The mid-level Altitude adds a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, 17-inch wheels and a surround rear view camera, while top-of-the-line Summit models come with adaptive cruise control.

The Jeep Avenger Electric range with the ECG savings are available to order now.
