Jeep® Avenger Surpasses Alfa Romeo Sales in Europe in Q1 2024

Subcompact SUV Outperforms the Entire Alfa Romeo Lineup with Over 25,000 Units Sold...

Robert S. Miller May 26, 2024

While the Jeep® Avenger (JJ) is absent from the brand’s North American lineup, it has been a huge success for the American brand in Europe. In addition to winning several awards, the subcompact SUV sold more units than the entire Alfa Romeo lineup in Europe’s first quarter of the year.

From January 1 to April 30, sales of the European-built Jeep Avenger reached a remarkable 25,422 units, 5,557 of which were sold in April alone. According to the official sales numbers from Stellantis, the Alfa Romeo lineup, including the Giulia sports sedan, the Stelvio SUV, and the new compact Tonale SUV, only accounted for a total of 16,891 units across Europe in that time.

Keep in mind that the Avenger’s sales were down by 7,600 units from the same period last year. Nevertheless, it’s a pretty remarkable feat. Alfa Romeo, which will get its own version of the Avenger, dubbed the Junior, should be headed to European showrooms soon, which should help Alfa’s sales.

The Avenger was launched as the first all-electric Jeep in Europe. Not too long after, Jeep opened up ordering for an internal combustion engine (ICE) variant in select markets. Since then, the Avenger has gotten two new powertrains: an e-HYBRID model and a new mild-hybrid 4xe model, which made its debut this week.

The Avenger 4xe is powered by a 1.2-liter mild-hybrid powertrain. It has two 21 kW (28 horsepower) e-motors mounted on the rear axle of the vehicle, allowing the 4xe to be the first and only Avenger with all-wheel-drive (AWD) capability. Orders for the 4xe are slated to open by Q4 of 2024, and availability will initially be in select markets before expanding.

While it's too small for our market, the Avenger provides a good value proposition. We need something to replace the Renegade, which isn't too small for our market. Stellantis seems to be neglecting the value proposition for Canada and the USA.

Hello from Germany,

very interesting story about the sales Jeep Avenger in Europe.
I have one, the fully electric Avenger 1st Edition.
It's the perfect car, if you drive only in town, very solid and quick.
Not bad for longer trips either, range with normal driving (~ 70 mph) is approx. 320 - 350 km.
Even for tall people (1.90m= 6,2 ft) there is enough space in the front seats, but it gets tight in the rear seats.
Trunk space is small, but still sufficient.

Here in Germany there are not that many fully electric vehicles, including the Avenger, because the subsidy for its purchase was canceled by the government in December 2023.
I got my fully equipped Avenger 1st with the environmental bonus of €4,500 (~$4,800) in July 2023 for around 33,000 euros (~35,000$).
There are hardly any electric cars at this price, only from China, and unfortunately there are many who buy them because of the price.

Greetings from Ludwigsburg, Germany
Hans

Of course it out sold Alfa... they are generally very expensive, even the Tonale is quite pricey. It will also outsell the Grotesque Junior as it least it looks like a Jeep.
