Re: Jeep's small SUV to debut by end 2022 Jeep Avenger goes Hybrid - Goes on sale in Europe by the end of November.
Will it be marked for India? New e-Hybrid engine and panoramic roof.
The all-new Avenger e-Hybrid incorporates advanced technology and comes with significant product enhancements, including the Open-Air Sky Roof.
The all-new Avenger e-Hybrid features advanced features such as the 1.2T MHEV engine paired with the latest e-DCS6 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with electric motor.
Thanks to a battery that recharges during different phases of driving, this hybrid technology offers additional torque at low speeds and a 15% reduction in fuel consumption. In urban driving conditions, the new Avenger e-Hybrid drives more than 50% of the time in 100% electric mode. Quote:
The key to its performance lies in the harmonious synergy between the 1.2-liter, 3-cylinder combustion engine, capable of delivering up to 100 horsepower, the 48-volt lithium-ion battery and the innovative 6-speed dual-clutch electric gearbox. This gearbox houses a 21-kW electric motor, an inverter and the central transmission unit, working together to optimize compactness and efficiency.
The additional electric power enhances low-end torque and ensures a quiet and responsive start for the driver, with seamless and rapid transitions. Pure electric power is also useful for the ‘e-creeping’ function, allowing a series of short forward movements without accelerator input, beneficial in situations like traffic jams (e-queueing). The vehicle can also be parked in 100% electric mode (e-parking). This technology enables energy recovery during deceleration and grants the freedom of auto recharge through regenerative braking, eliminating the need for plug-in charging.
Under typical driving circumstances, the engine is engineered for optimal fuel efficiency, achieving up to a 15% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to a combustion engine with an automatic transmission. This is further achieved through the Miller Cycle, resulting in estimated CO2 emissions ranging from 111 to 114 grams per kilometer, which positions it favorably within its category
