Stellantis‘ plant in Tychy, Poland has begun production of the Jeep Avenger EV.

“The Avenger is the first Jeep SUV to be produced in Poland and a great reason for our entire team to be proud,” said plant manager Tomasz Gebka.

The automaker said the compact Avenger was the first introduction in a range of “capable, fully electric vehicles right sized for Europe” and also “a key component in a global electrification strategy as the brand moves towards becoming the world leader in zero-emission SUVs”.

European Avenger specification includes standard Selec-Terrain and Hill Descent Control which, with claimed “outstanding approach and departure angles and the vehicle’s ground clearance, bring impressive levels of capability into the segment”.

The SUV has a new 400 volt electric propulsion system which combines a new 156hp electric motor with 260 Nm of torque and a new 54 kWh battery pack.

Around 10,000 units have been pre-sold since orders opened last 1 December.

Built between 1972 and 1975 by Fabryka Samochodow Malolitrażowych (FSM), the factory was the result of an agreement between FSO and Fiat to build the Polski Fiat 126p, a variant of Fiat’s 126. The last Polski Fiat 126p was made in 2000. FSO models were also made there and, more recently, the Fiat 500 (and a now defunct Ford variant) has been made there alongside other models from brands all now under the vast Stellantis brand umbrella.
