2027 Jeep® Avenger Launching in Brazil with Four Trims

The Jeep® Avenger, the brand’s smallest SUV, is officially heading to Brazil as a 2027 model year vehicle, marking a new chapter for Jeep in South America. According to our friends at Autos Segredos, the subcompact SUV will roll off the Stellantis Porto Real Assembly Plant in Rio de Janeiro starting in May 2026, making it the fourth Jeep to be produced in Brazil, joining the Renegade, Compass, and Commander.

Local Production and Market Positioning – 

Until now, the Avenger has only been built at the Tychy Assembly Plant in Poland. With the move to Porto Real, Jeep not only brings production closer to its second-largest market outside the U.S., but also creates a new entry-level model for the region. The Avenger will slot below the Renegade in size, measuring 4.08 meters (160.6 inches) long, 1.78 meters (70 inches) wide, 1.53 meters (60.2 inches) tall, and riding on a 2.56-meter (100.8-inch) wheelbase. Cargo space is 380 liters (13.4 cubic feet), making it practical for city life and weekend getaways.

The Brazilian-spec Avenger will compete against other small SUVs like the Fiat Pulse, Renault Kiger, and Volkswagen T-Cross/Tera, giving Jeep a strong contender in the subcompact crossover segment.

Four Trim Levels with Hybrid Power – 

When it arrives, the 2027 Avenger will be offered in Altitude, Longitude, 85th Anniversary, and Sahara trims, all powered by Stellantis’ Turbo 200 Hybrid engine. This 1.0-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine produces 130 horsepower and 20.4 kgfm (148 lb-ft) of torque, paired to a 7-speed CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission).

The T200 Hybrid system blends gasoline/ethanol power with mild-hybrid tech to reduce fuel consumption without sacrificing performance. It features a 12-volt e-motor that works as both an alternator and starter, plus dual batteries—a lead-acid and lithium-ion—to support efficiency features like:

• e-Start & Stop – Shuts the engine off at stops for fuel savings.

• e-Assist – Adds torque during acceleration to reduce engine load.

• Smart Alternator – Charges batteries only when needed.

• e-Regen – Captures braking energy for up to 25% more efficiency.

This setup makes the Avenger the most powerful 1.0-liter turbo in its class, while still promising strong fuel economy tailored for Brazil’s ethanol-friendly market.

Unique Styling for South America – 

While inspired by its European sibling, the Brazilian Avenger will wear unique front-end styling and redesigned rear taillights. Inside, Jeep promises upgraded materials while keeping the familiar layout of a digital instrument cluster, floating horizontal touchscreen, and full-width center air vents. A multifunction steering wheel rounds out the driver-focused cabin.

With production beginning in mid-2026 and showroom arrivals shortly after, the 2027 Jeep Avenger will give Brazilian buyers a fresh, tech-savvy option in the hot small SUV segment.
