Jeep Avenger Argentina 2026: Price, Engine and Release Date

Jeep Avenger is getting ready to launch in Argentina, but technically it is no longer quite the compact SUV that started the model's European career. The cars will ship from Stellantis's plant in Porto Real, Brazil, with a locally built 12-volt MHEV system under the hood, paired with the T200 turbo engine and a CVT that simulates seven gears.

Sales are planned for the fourth quarter of 2026. For Jeep, this is a notable launch: the Avenger will become the brand's first electrified model officially sold in Argentina. The word “hybrid” does need a caveat, though. This is a mild MHEV setup — the electric portion assists the gasoline engine and recovers energy under braking, but it does not turn the Avenger into a full hybrid capable of running on electricity alone for any real stretch.

The technology differs fundamentally from the European Avenger e-Hybrid. The European car uses a 48-volt system with a 1.2-liter engine and an electric motor built into a six-speed automated manual gearbox. The South American version gets a simpler 12-volt architecture with hardware adapted for local production.

The Avenger itself stays compact: length comes in at around 4.1 m, width at roughly 1.8 m. The approach angle reaches 22°, the departure angle 33.6°. Higher trims get matrix LED headlights, adaptive cruise control, lane centering and other electronic driver aids. Jeep has not yet revealed the exact equipment list for Argentina.

There is also a wrinkle around pricing. In Brazil, the base Avenger Altitude is currently offered at a promotional $22,200. The Altitude with the High package costs $24,100, the Longitude $26,300, and the Limited $28,200. These figures cannot simply be carried over to Argentina — local taxes, import conditions and trim configurations will differ.

Jeep Argentina will publish its own price list closer to the sales launch. In the end, the Avenger becomes an example of serious regional adaptation of a global model. The European name and body carry over, but the powertrain, production and pricing logic for South America are already quite different.

SPEEDME.RU previously reported that the Jeep Avenger would get a hybrid 1.0 T200 engine and Altitude, Longitude and Limited trims.
