Jeep has just released a teaser image of the next EV that it will add to its range, confirming that it will launch by 2025.
We’ve known about Jeep’s plans to launch four EVs by 2025 since September last year when it unveiled the baby Avenger SUV that will go on sale in Europe this year. It will soon be joined by the electric Jeep Recon Moab and the Jeep Wagoneer S EV that will rival the BMW iX and is underpinned by Stellantis’ STLA Large platform.
Limited details are known about the fourth EV from Jeep and unfortunately, this teaser image isn’t particularly revealing. Indeed, all it shows is a vehicle under a blue cover. From what we can tell, it appears as though the model is quite compact and could be similar in size to the Avenger or perhaps even smaller. Whatever the case may be, Jeep will no doubt want to ensure that it is capable both on the street and when driven off the beaten path.

If the next Jeep EV is indeed similar in size to the Avenger, then it’s possible it could be underpinned by the same eCMP architecture of the Avenger, also currently used by the Peugeot e-2008, Opel Moka-e, and Citroen DS3 E-Tense. If that’s the case, then a similar electric powertrain to the Avenger may come standard, perhaps consisting of the same front-mounted electric motor with 154 hp and 192 lb-ft (260 Nm) of torque.
Providing the Avenger with juice is a 54 kWh battery pack that Jeep says gives it a WLTP range of 249 miles (400 km) over the combined cycle and 342 miles (550 km) on the urban cycle.
